If you had to spend $3,000, what computer would you build?

Well shit that's a hard one since nowadays GPUs are more expensive and less available.

>>61404257
I do

Not gonna spend them on that I can tell you that much

>>61404257
i'd just hire a computer builder to go make me the best gaming computer $3000 can afford. i just wanna play games and that's you people's job, to fix my goddamn gaming computer because i'm too busy with tinder dates, parties and my job.

>>61404257
Fully unlocked Intel™ Core® i9® 7900X® with a custom liquid loop, for sure. Although you'll probably need more money, but you're not some poorfag, are you?

>>61404257
Same one I just built except with $1500 worth of 1080 Ti and Gsync monitor instead of $300 worth of 1050 Ti and generic monitor.

>>61404257
I'd just get a server grade motherboard with 2 CPU's (from 1-2 years ago possibly used) max out the ram and get a Decent last year GPU with a 150/250 gb SSD and whats left to be spent in hard drives.

>>61404332

i really can't figure out what's wrong with that setup. well sorry i've been out too much, too busy fucking women and running my coffeeshop business ! oh well. i guess i'll just pay you to do it for me. build me something that can play Battlefield and Playerunknown, okay ? those games are pretty popular, i have to try them.

>>61404257
Depends on what it's for or what I need. I'm going to assume it's for my current needs.

I built a new desktop a few months ago so I obviously wouldn't build a desktop. My current laptop is from 2011 so I guess that if I had to replace one computer, I'd probably replace it. It's currently a 2011 15" MBP and if had to replace it with a $3000 budget I'd probably replace it with another 15" MBP. If I could get my hands on one, I'd probably get a 2015 MBP as the touch bar replacing the function keys on the 2016 model is completely useless for me and a complete gimmick.

It's a little under $3,000 if you take out all the things in the misc and, as the name suggests, might go down in price depending on the price of the RX Vega XTX

Not kidding, I'd probably buy a macbook pro.

>>61404257
I'd build a matx box with 2 ssds and a decent video card, then spend the rest on 10gbe networking and a NAS (or two).

For me, it's the MacBook Pro.

I'd build basically the same thing I already have but spend like $2000 on a ridiculous 1440p G-Sync monitor

only game I play is WoW and fucking your mom fite me irl /flex

>>61404742
The best mobile computing device.

Best dual xeon i can afford with at least 64 gb of ram and a decent GPU or two.

I'd wait. Shit's too expensive right now and we're just seeing the first generation of some neat hardware. I'd like to see the second family of Ryzen come out, maybe see how VR materializes, etc.

I figure the next 12-18 months to be a good down time for tech purchases.

>The Loongson 3 adds over 200 new instructions over Loongson 2. Their addition has the specific benefit of speeding up Intel x86 CPU emulation at a cost of 5% of the total die area. The new instructions help with emulation performance, for example QEMU (the only known example). The new instructions reduce the impact of executing x86/CISC-style instructions in the MIPS pipeline. With added improvements in QEMU from ICT, Loongson-3 achieves an average of 70% the performance of executing native binaries when running x86 binaries from nine benchmarks.

motherfucking RAM POWER!!!

I'd personally prefer a gaming laptop that isn't overly obnoxious at this point

but if I were to build a high end machine it would be
mini itx silverstone case
high end ryzen
evga gtx 1080
high end asus mobo
16GB of standard ddr4 g.skill
m.2 samsung ssd
whatever name brand psu that has a 7 year warranty, probably a corsair
splurge on a nice 1440p 120hz monitor
and for storage get a cheap jbod enclosure with a few disks

dunno what that adds up to but it's probably enough

R7 1700 for 300$
Asus b350m mobo for 110$
corsair vengenace 3200 mhz 8gb ram stick for 70$
500gb ssd for 150$
3tb 7200 seagate hdd for 100$
Non modular bronze 700w psu for 60$
400q corsair case (literal black box, hate gamer gimmicky shit) for 70$
Top end rx vega gpu for 500$
Asus mg279q monitor ips 1440p 144hz monitor for 500$

lenovo yoga 720 15" laptop with the gtx 1050 and a 7700hq quadcore processor, full hd and wacom pen for 1100 $

3k is standard fare... you can barely get something acceptable for much less than that.
