1600 euros is not cheap in my opinion. For me, 600 euros is between expensive and acceptable. Only less than 300 or 200 is cheap, according to my standards. xD

Ram: 16 gigabytes of force lightning.
Motherboard: One the original slates God's Ten Commandments were written upon.
Graphics Card: Eye of Sauron++ on acid and it's a Friday night.
Audio Card: a potato chip.

And free Mcafee.

I don't know what I would do with that much power. I suppose photoshop would finally run better I guess. Glad you're get a hot new rig, a lot of games seem rather unoptimized these days.

I mean, 1600 Euro isn't really that much cheaper than what he's buying here...

I built all of my computers since 2002 (five of them). You can't get a better deal than a commercial builder because they get special deals for buying in bulk.

I taught my son how to build one.

By the way, my dad is 82 years old. He doesn't know jack about computer hardware.

Now I understand. Prices are bad here, too. :/

Yeah, but we don't use euros here...
We use KM, short for "konvertibilna marka". Around 2 KM = 1€. Lol.
Now imagine a 1600 euro PC in Bosnia. Not only 3200KM, but even more than that! XD

Personally i'm waiting on the new intel generation chips and will probably get a new custom rig based on whatever AMD brings to the table to compete with the i9's (as it currently stands right now, might change my opinion in the future).
Pretty sure my current build (i7 4820k, 1060 6gb, 16gb) would fare horribly with V-RAY for real time engines, which my future rig will be built around on.
