I see you're very determined to do this so for a start, the 3-4 GTX 690s you want won't be in stock for awhile. You'll find Blackbeard's lost treasure before you get those 690s in stock. That'll cost you $3000-$4000 depending on how many cards you buy and what brand. Some brands come with better cooling or factory overclocks.

Here's the latest i7 Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition Sandy Bridge-E 3.3GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 2011 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor BX80619i73960X

That'll cost you $1,030.

So we're looking at about $4000-$5000 for just the CPU and that ridiculous GTX 690 setup.

And we're only maybe 1/10th done with the build..
oh boy.

DAT WALLET.

From what i understand from PP's post, you cant use more than 2 690's, so it will be a bit cheaper than that.

But your point still stands.

Ah yes, sorry, I forgot a single 690 is two gpus technically. So 2 690s, comes out roughly with the $1,030 cpu at a bit higher than $3,000.

Your doing it all wrong icey, you need to get him to split up 3000.00 and send us a little chunk of it.
I'm sure each of would put the money to real good use, mainly me for business and education needs.

people working at amazon/newegg/etc... gets a cut too. and don't forget your favorite ups delivery wo/man* earns a check from these deliveries.

*don't want to exclude our counterpart. I am not sexist or anything. really.

You could have four of the cards, just not all in SLI.

Just do what you think will make you feel good... thats the main point after all
