What will you be using it for? And what do you consider to be an "rediculous amount of money."

Ooo, ooo, me, me! I can do it!

AMD Opteron 185
ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Mobo
Corsair XMS 2x1gb RAM
7900GTX (SLI? Sure!)
WD Raptor 150

ive wanted a custom computer for a while, but never had time to build one.

[WhyYouLoveMe]

Ooops forget my suggestions, then. I'm over $3000 and I didn't even suggest a PSU, case, DVD/CD drive and aftermarket coolers.

NOR the monitor.

Ok I leave thread now.

Well, things would be better if you could tell us more about what you want... but here's a base I whipped up real quick:

runs about $3020, $200 more if you're in an area with tax

Also, switching out the cfx3200 for an ultra-d and taking out the sound card would allow you to get this bad boy: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...8&cs=19&l=en&mnf=694&Page=productlisting.aspx

Leaves you around $600-700 for monitor. There might be still deals from monarch computer for the Opteron 165. Other options..
-get dual 7900GTs (or keep the GTX and add another later)
-add another hard drive, upgrade the processor to the Opteron 170
-switch to a cheaper case (Antec P-180, Lian Li 7B, etc.)
-add a Scythe Ninja even though the stock Opteron heatsink with the 4 pipes works well.
-Take out the X-fi soundcard and use onboard..although you should upgrade if you are gonna buy a $3000 system
-Switch to a different power supply (Fortron, Silverstone/Enhance (check ewiz.com for enhance [OEM for silverstone], OCZ Powerstream, PC Power & Cooling, Antec True Power 550W or Seasonic 600W should also work)
-Drop the Asus A8n32 SLI and get a DFI Expert or MSI Diamond Plus (or save even mroe by getting the ASUS A8N SLi Premium)
-Drop the OS if you already have one

Should leave you some money for round cables, cold cathodes or extra fans..but if you want to blow all your $ get this 1337 NEC 20" Widescreen LCD. For cheaper widescreen LCD monitors, look out for Dell coupons in the [H]ot Deals section for the 2005FPW or 2007WFP..or get this this viewsonic
