    yep case as a single part ... http://www.ldcooling.com/shop/atx-hptx/173-ld-pc-v8-atx-hptx-red.html just so sexy .. had 2 builds in it so far ...
    will last 10 yrs or more .. same as my lian-li did
    What does it matter now if men believe or no?
    What is to come will come. And soon you too will stand aside,
    To murmur in pity that my words were true

    Single component would be the 5960X a few years back cost me AU$1200.
    Otherwise if you mean an all out spend up in one go it would be the two 980Ti's I bought together for sli, Roughly AU$2000
    Doubt I'll go extreme cpu again, I'll go back down one tier. I had to YOLO at least once on a cpu.

    Right now it's the Asus ROG Poseidon GTX980 I got for my new build a few years ago (around £530). Tomorrow that's changing to a 27' Acer Predator XB1 monitor (£600), at least until I decide if I want to splurge out on a 1080ti.

    Currently my CPU, just by a whisker; although this will probably be surpassed by a new GPU in the future.

    I love my R9 280 plays every game very well nearly bought a R480 but not a massive jump really will wait another year i reckon.
