Yes, you read that right. $20,000. This is the 'far more money than sense' PC. A PC that will confer on you the ultimate in bragging rights while simultaneously putting a huge dent in your bank balance. Yes, it's crazy. Yes, it's stupid, but it's only money, right?
Starting out with the processor, I've gone for the king of silicon -- the Intel Core i7-5960X Haswell-E, an 8-Core, 3.0GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W part that is currently the best available.
It features 20MB of L3 cache and 8 x 256KB of L2 cache. It's built using 22-nanometer technology and comes with a three-year warranty. There's also tons of overhead for overclocking, if that's your thing. You should be able to get this part up to 4.6GHz with ease (as long as you have the right cooling).
Bear in mind that for $1,000 you don't get a cooler so you need to add that to the list and budget for it.
Price: $1,050
