Alright that's it, so tell me what you think!

A. All are good except for the CPU COOLER : hyper212 plus.

The Rosewill challenger casing you picked has a dimension:

Dimensions

18.50" x 7.48" x 17.08"

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153

both of our casing has a similar width, yours being 7.48 inches. And based on that, the maximum height of a cooler that your casing can accomodate is up to 6 inches while the hyper 212 plus has a height of 6.24 inches.

Heatsink Dimensions

120 x 79.7 x 158.5 mm (L x W x H)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065

158.5 mm(H) = 15.85 cm / 2.54 cm = 6.24 inches.

The hyper212 plus might fit inside but chances are you wouldn't be able to attach one of the two side fans to have more space and it would also look ridiculously very big inside your casing. But performance wise, the hyper212 plus is indeed a good cooler.

For such a casing, it is better to get an aftermarket cooler that has a 92mm fan like this one for example:

ARCTIC Freezer 13 CO CPU Cooler - Intel & AMD, 200W Cooling Capacity, for 24/7 Operation - $30

This cpu cooler has a height of 5.1 inches =P

Original Question

How much would a computer like this cost me (custom built)?

Q. So basically, I wish to buy a ridiculously good computer within the next few months, and here are some of the specs I really would like to have:

Something like the: Intel Core i7-3960X 3.3 1 LGA 2011 Processor - BX80619I73960X (basically, a CPU processor that will be top of the market for the next 5-10 years)

2 (or more) 2TB+ (or 4+ if they are 1TB) 15000 rpm (or something close, preferably)

32GB RAM+ (Possible the Corsair 32GB (4 x 8GB) Vengeance 1866mHz PC3 15000 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM Quad Channel Kit 32 CMZ32GX3M4X1866C10 or something similiar)

Graphics card such as the: (AMD Radeon HD 6990) or maybe the (ATI Radeon HD 5970)

1 32" LCD Monitor (Such as the Samsung 320MP-2 32") and 2 24" (Maybe ASUS VS248H-P 24-Inch Monitor)

Windows 7 OS

And finally, a Shell with enough fans capable of keeping this computer from exploding
This was a lot more of a *are these good parts, and if so, how much would the top end parts cost* (such as the shell) instead of yea, I want this computer with these exact parts which I visited and saw the price that I'm to dumb to add up.

By the way, for "n/a," yea, I sure as hell can afford this. FYI I'm a professional computer programmer and probably make more money in a month than you do in a year (Just assuming since you've answered 3000+ questions on Answers) and I don't really work with hardware so I don't know this stuff all that well...

Thanks everyone else for your help :)

A. Well, no processor will be "top of the market" for more than about a year. Something newer and faster will inevitably come along. That said, you *can* build a machine that will more than meet your computing needs for the next 5-10 years, assuming those needs don't change.

Your system comes to $5,372.83 (not including shipping) on NewEgg.com and includes the following items:

- Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition Sandy Bridge-E 3.3GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 2011 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor BX80619i73960X

- COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler (the LGA 2011 processors don't include heat sinks/fans)

- COOLER MASTER RR-ACCY-2011-R1 Intel LGA2011 Retention Bracket for Hyper 212 EVO & Hyper 212 Plus

- ASUS Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

- MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5 Radeon HD 7970 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card (the Radeon 5970 isn't state-of-the-art anymore; imagine it in 5-10 years!)

- Crucial M4 CT256M4SSD2 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (for Windows and your applications)

- Western Digital Caviar Black WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive (two of these, for your data storage; you really don't need 15,000 RPM drives for data storage, even for HD video encoding)

- COOLER MASTER HAF 932 Advanced RC-932-KKN5-GP Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case (more fans than you can shake a stick at)

- LITE-ON Blu-ray Burner with 3D Playback SATA iHBS212-08 LightScribe Support

- DoubleSight DS-307W Black 30" 7ms HDMI Widescreen Wide Screen LCD Monitor with IPS Panel Techology (didn't find any 32" monitors)

- Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit - OEM

Hope that helps!
