You definitely should buy an iMac. They are the best. Don't let others try to lie to you about how gud they are, they'd just be jealous.

i sense sarcasm

Well if I had known that I wouldn't have linked that piece.....

For that money you could get a PC that played Skyrim 8 times at once... A tad overkill.

if you don't know computers you should educate yourself or pay someone to build it for you.

This is excellent. I also suggest this.

If you bought that PC, put about $100-150 more into the GPU, you could easily play any game on the market right now. (The linked PC has kind of crappy video card)

Though if you spent $600-800 you could get one with a better PSU and GPU, and not have to install it yourself. I just wanted to show that you don't need insane money to play games.

That being said, OP, if you are serious about having that much cash and wanting to get an elite rig... http://www.digitalstormonline.com/compblackops.asp.

i was going to pay someone to build it for me but i need parts i dont reilly want to go to a computer shop and say build me the worlds best pc gamers computer in the world ill sound geeky

ok ? i am human like i said make bill gates wet i dont konw computers so i need help

as unidentical said, if you truly need a new pc and need help educate yourself a bit so no one robs you blind when trying to purchase a pc.

for a truly top of the line with all the bells and whistles don't pay over 2k. beyond that is overkill. heck even 2k is overkill at the moment.

that cryo tech one looks pretty cool but is it the best can i even say i want the best

ok bout 9-10k british pounds that is the budget i think that will be ample yes or no

I wouldn't spend that much, it just be a waste. $1500-$2000 is more than enough to make a super powerful PC. Its always better to buy fairly expensive parts and then upgrade every 2-3 years then try and buy the best out their. I guess I could try and get you started.

CPU: 2500K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
GPU: GTX 570 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130613
Ram: 8GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119197
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006

Motherboard not really sure here as what is good/bad. You can always change the GTX 570 to a 580 also. I'd wait until starcraft/tig ol bitties to come on or pm them, they are both really good at these kinds of things.

ok so i have a pc but its like really old dosent even have a hdmi port on the back so since am not good at building or pcs or technology or well anything can people give me some of there dream builds or something and moneys no problem i just want to max everygame coming out next year (if thats possible i dunno) basically BUILD ME A PC MWHAHAHAH

I have merged your thread with the Unofficial "Will My PC Run Skyrim" Discussion.

nothing wrong with wanting the best. just be aware that right now the 'best' is hard to define. and if you are looking at the cryotech one, while it's a great machine most of what makes it expensive will not make it run any faster than a machine 1/2 the cost of that one. those components would be the bells and whistles i was mentioning earlier.

What do you guys think? Liquid Cooling or Fan and Heatsink?
What's better? I've never used Liquid cooling before, tbh.
Do you have to buy Coolant for it and refill it?
The PC I'm customizing on Cyberpower gets 117 FPS and has 700 Watts of power.
So what kind of fan do I need to get?
Also, what motherboard do you guys suggest?

Fan > liquid cooling unless your an extreme overclocker, which it doesn't seem like you are... :tongue: Also a lot of things in your post don't make sense, your customizing a desktop on Cyberpower that gets a 117 FPS? Also the power supply doesn't show how powerful a computer is.

My bad it's 89 FPS, Idk the FPS thing confuses me you can compare it to other games.
On the Benchmark thing it says 89 FPS.

And about the Power thing, I was just wondering if I'd need liquid cooling or something if the Power was too high.

Here's the specs thus far;

CPU: Intel? Core? i5-2500K 3.30 GHz 6M Intel Smart Cache LGA1155 (All Venom OC Certified)
HDD: 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Hard Drive)
MEMORY: 8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/1333MHz Dual Channel Memory [+0] (Corsair or Major Brand)
MOTHERBOARD: Asus P8H61-M Intel H61 Chipset DDR3 mATX Mainboard w/ UEFI, 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, USB 2.0, SATA-II, 1 Gen2 PCIe, 2 PCIe X1 & 1 PCI [B3 Stepping] [-15]
SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO
VIDEO: AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 16X PCIe Video Card [+221] (Major Brand Powered by AMD)

Is there a certain motherboard I should get? Or does it really matter? I went with the cheapest.

The motherboard should be fine, the only real difference between the higher end motherboards are more slots usually and the ability to do SLI/crossfire. Also what wattage and brand power supply did you choose.
