what are the
BEST
specs for a desktop computer?
I will make it a goal to achieve in the future

Something like
THIS

two Quadro M6000 24GB's
two i7-6950X's OC'd
water cool
128GB DDR4
get a shitton of SSDs

don't forget sm961

depends on use case

>>56293985
are you seriously using a 1070 for a single 1080 60hz

lol
>>
>>56294094
anything and everything
the meatiest and fastest rig humanly possible

>>56294009
aren't these GPUs shit for gaming?

skywell is shit, the i7 4790k is better

Www.logicalincrements.com
Scroll to the bottom

>>
>>56294294
actually my vcore don't even needa be that high I could easily run this overclock at 1.32 or lower
>>
>>56293958

>spend all that money on monitors
>use them to play shitrim

also that set up looks awful and annoying
>>
>>56294335
i run 4.5 at 1.17 lol
1.32 isn't a lot lower. it's still really high for 4.45

Actually, I'm in the same boat, but I do VR development so the 1070 is justified. (inb4 VR meme)

anyone have the core i9 and other bait memes speccy on hand?
>>
>>56294412
nah the vr meme is pretty neat
if you're developing i can understand it, though i'd expect a higher resolution for a workstation pc

i use a 980ti for dual 1080's, but it's the vg248qe and xl2411z so 144hz win

>>56294388
I don't even care if it sucked 1000w m8 I get free power, it's included in my rent

what the fuck are you bringing up power usage for??

Isn't AMD superior? ?

i miss my 8320 kinda. 4790k felt like such a huge leap forward.

whats it to you? you gay yourself or something? looking for a husband?

What about soundcards?

>>56294522
yes actually

that too
also speakers I guess
for that boombastic bass

you are welcome

>>56294434
I best you. In retrospect, I'm not quite in the same boat. At the office I have a pair of 24" 1920x1200 and at home a single 25.5" 1920x1200. I don't particularly need more powerful screens (since the horsepower goes to the HMD, not the monitors)

Though I am wanting to upgrade or add a second monitor for at home, but need a bigger desk and some other shit to take care of first.

desu sad that Zen isn't 16 cores
>>
>>56293958
Unless you want to spend tens and tens of thousands of dollars, give it up lad. A more reasonable (and sane) setup might be the somewhere along these lines:

4 way crossfire for four 3x slot gpu's
And dual xeons, 10HDD's, a basement for a pyramid of 15+ SSD's and enough room for an extended server board to have 32 ram slots and have a full custom water cooling loop alongside dual phase change coolers for the xeons

Doesn't exist.

You have a purpose for using a computer. There is a solution. More than one, in fact.
That solution changes depending on what constraints you apply to the problem.

If you said you wanted to build a leet gaymer PC, you would put a limit on your CPU core count (this depends on the game) and put in as many GPUs as you could (this also depends on the game).
Other factors, like quantity of RAM available or I/O speed tend to be almost inconsequential so long as the minimum requirements are met.

If you said you wanted a computer that could encode videos at lightning speed, you would choose to maximize CPU core count and have no GPU, since those do nothing. Speaking of maximizing core count, it is possible for encoding software to take advantage of networked clusters to have a theoretically infinite amount of cores.
So then your problem is "at what point does the overhead of splitting the problem across the cluster exceed the speed increase of adding more cores?", and "how fast do I really want to encode a given video/audio stream?"

tl;dr, ENGINEERING.
Learn it.

The Quadro series are expensive but anything you need for gaming is there too. A Quadro M6000 is pretty much a 980ti. Lol they're marketed towards large companies that have extremely large files to render in ultra high res. The Quadro M6000 can handle a project file up to 24GB, hence 24GB

TSX on the 4790k is bugged (it's bugged on all Haswell, Haswell-E/EP, and broadwell CPUs) and if yours is enabled it just means your motherboard manufacturer didn't push out the microcode update for your CPU.

As far as I am aware even skylake CPUs dont have TSX enabled because of a bug. Broadwell-E and EP might however.

Unless you are a richfag, what's best is a combination of what you want to do with your PC (gaming/work/etc) and the best ratio of relevant performance measurements per dollar spent (such as G3D Mark / dollar).
