No. Not even close. Can shave off a few thousand from that though I'm not sure how much a monitor like that goes for..

This.
That monitor isn't HD otherwise he´d surely mention it with his "beast" PC specs.
What a retard whoever is trying to sell that.
Wow @ 24GB of ram. It made me laugh a bit IRL.
Shave off a good 3k like at least like previous poster said..

Where is the bluray player.
A DVD-burner isn't enough anymore, there needs to be a blu-ray player!

Could go tri-sli, SSD Raid-0, and a dedicated physX card for less than that. Perhaps sli X2 cards (quad gpu)..
Hell, you could do all the above and dual i7's if they made a triple pci-e server board for i7. They have the dual boards, but I doubt any have 3 pci-e slots.

6k for a screen, soundbox and 16gb ram too much is a waste of money... those 3 things altogether shouldn't cost more than 1k imo...
which would leave you at approx 2k total...

doesn't matter the specs, buying a computer for $7k is pointless imo...unless you are going to use it for your work/business but even then...

Well to soften the attitude of others, If those specs are indiviual pieces then that is not worth it, that should run about 3k. Now for the ram, everything is fine except for the ram. Now unless you need it for an excessive amount of work and program operations running, 4gb of ram is well more than enough for todays standard, now you use you computer like a work horse as I do, 24gb is still a bit more than you would need, I get along with 12gb of ram, which my mobo maxs out on but thats what you should consider, btw go for DDR3 ram

life is way better with it

lol probably in 2-3 at the rate we are going. I can go to any store that sells electronics and get a 8 gig computer for $800, I remember just 1.5 years ago my 4 gig computer cost me $1200, without the monitor.

This thread is now about exponential growth of computing power.

24GB RAM. What are you going to run? You'll never ever use all of it. Plus, building it by yourself can save you up to 50%, even 70% sometimes.

For those that thought I was buying that, NO lol. I'm not a retard. The topic question is rhetorical. Who would waste money on this lol. If your gonna go that much, then you better have money to throw away. Or get some qaulity.
