Decided my first post on the forums should be about computers in general. I'll just give my specs.
 
Before you ask when you look at the parts, yes, I do have some money. Not super rich but not your average broke dude either.


 
Let's start with the best part. My case.
 
2007 Mac Pro with Laserhive full ATX conversion. Case is custom with a repaint to make it flat black and the Windows 10 logo put in place of the Apple because screw Apple. I'll give pictures once completed if any interest is shown. Now onto the rest of my parts.


 
Asus Z270F mobo.
 
Core i7 7700k CPU.
 
Corsair H100i 240mm AIO water loop.
 
32GB G Skill 2133 DDR4 RAM (16x2).
 
2x MyDigitalSSD 120GB M.2 NVME PCI-E x4 SSD in RAID 0. (Yes. You can now RAID NVME PCI-E drives.)
 
2TB Crucial MX300 SSD. (Yes. I legit have a 2TB SATA SSD.)
 
Seagate 2.5 2TB HDD for backup.
 
Some old 1TB 3.5 drive I use to dump video recordings to until I sort them.
 
Apple Broadcomm BCM94360cd WiFi and BT card with PCI-E x1 adapter. (This is one of the fastest WiFi cards ever made.)
 
Some random 800 watt PSU. (It works and has stable voltage...)
 
EVGA GTX1070 SSC with EVGA 120mm AIO water cooler conversion. (Yes. I water cooled the GPU.)
 
EVGA GTX950 SC. (I had it sitting around...)
 
Logitech G430 headset.
 
Logitech G710+ Brown Switch keyboard. (I love these brown switches.)
 
Logitech G600 20 button MMO mouse.
 
Logitech G19 keyboard. (For secondary use and the LCD display.)
 
Vizio 32" 1080P TV set as main monitor with some random panels for monitor 2 through 4. (I have plans to go 4k.)


 
That is all I have ATM. The Vizio panel died so I'm looking to get a 32" 4k monitor in place of it. I could go up to 40" and have my eye on a 40" 4k monitor but we will see in the coming days. I plan to eventually swap the pair of mismatched cards out for 2 1080 ti cards and water cool them both. The EVGA water block I have on the 1070 is built for EVGA and reference (founder's edition) cards as it seems EVGA cards are laid out like Nvidia does. So I will be able to recycle the block I have now and get another block for GPU 2 once I get a pair of matched ones going. Hell I may just get another water block 1070 and call it a day. I will see. Now I know the case will not be able to fit 4 120mm fans and radiators as is but I have a plan for that too.


 
That is what I have for the moment. I am a complete PC tech nerd. IF I had to give an estimate on total spent to date it is around $3k or better. That does not include the first 7700k CPU I destroyed trying to improperly delid or the $400 I paid for getting a Nintendo Switch from an eBay scalper. Worth it.


 
Peace peeps and pones.
 
EDIT: Almost forgot. PC has Windows 10 Pro legit license with a real key.  
I also have a legit license for a copy of Windows Server 2016 full release.  
That is like a $1,000 value right there and I got it free as I have some "friends in high places."  
No they do not work for Microsoft. They would die before working there...
