Hi Friends,
This is my first post and after going through the suggestions given by you to other members, I feel I am at the right place. All though I am a bit techie have done this hardware stuff close to around 8 - 9 yrs ago I am not abreast with the current market trends.
I intend to build a very high end rig primary purpose been gaming and then few other apps viz PS, VMWare, VDO Editing and Rendering.
I was about to buy the system today and then one of my friend guided me to this section of the forum, hence appreciate your valued inputs and suggestions..

Ans: Games at Ultra settings as listed below :
MS FSX, xPlane 10, GTA V, Crysis 3, Assassins Creed Series, Counter Strike 1.6
, Hitman Absolution, Far Cry 3, Deus Ex Human Revolution, NFS Rivals and at times Grid 2.
Applications : Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Creative Suite and VMWare Workstation with approximately 10 Workstations which will run my Lab (Though this will be turned off or in Hibernate when I play games) apart from this general web browsing, MS office and casual stuff.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
