   Just got a win 10 dvd today,I know people have a problem with win 10 but I figured I would have some control on the install if I used a hard disk rather than a download.
   So that said what new hard ware is up and coming?
   I hear memory is changing and serial bus hard drives are now the way to go.
   My budget is on the high end 3-5k
   What would you do niggas.

   What form factor would you prefer? ATX (full tower), Micro ATX (smaller) or Mini-ITX (mini box).
   
   I put one together recently so I'm familiar with what's currently available - for $5k you can get pretty much top end everything, dual/SLI 1080s and an i7/xeon, you'll probably even have enough left for a high-end 4k gaming monitor

   Or SLI GTX 1080 Ti. And I would go with i7 personally.

   depends on what you want it for really, typically Xeons have larger cache so they tend to be better for multitasking (at a level way above what standard users would need) but toward the high end they're pretty similar; Xeons are just tested to be more reliable under stress and heat.
   
   Is the performance difference between a standard reference 1080 and the Ti worth the price difference? Last generation I don't think it was.
   
   @OP You only really need 2x 1080s if you plan on gaming in 4k; if you're happy with standard 1080p or even VR a single one will do you fine - I have a reference GTX1070 and I've not come across anything it doesn't play smoothly.

   I think it is, but with a budget of 5k why not go for the better one either way

   Most i've spent on a PC build was 2k. In the end i had to save on PSU since my CPU and GPU were so expensive, which was tricky because they were the main sources of power usage. Ayy lmao.

   Same here. It was more like $1k on the PC and $1k on accessories.
   
   Whatever you go with OP, make sure to take pictures when you are finished.
