Is this worth paying 9000$ ?

I am planing to buy a new PC which I won't have to upgrade for 4-5 years. Is this a good configuration and is it worth paying 9000$ ?

1. Yes, you would have a very speedy computer if you got that computer. You wouldn't need to upgrade for quite a long time.
2. Most servers don't cost that much. Your math really isn't adding up. You should be able to buy a system with a 4-5 year life span easily for less than $2000 depending on what you are going to use it for (gaming, business, etc.). However, in 4 or 5 years your operating system will change at least once and will likely require higher system requirements. Realistically the computer you buy today will be obsolete in a year.
3. If you have the use for all that and you can afford it. Otherwise, HELL NO!
4. How does this add up to 9000$? Where are you getting this total price from. If you pieced it out on newegg, your looking at about half that.
5. In two years all theess sheeznet will cost half the price. So is it worth it Hell to the noo.
6. I would never pay that much for any computer, i dont think theres much performance increase over paying $2000 But anyway: I would get a bigger hdd. You will soon need more space when you start downloading all your films music etc. Plenty of RAM, that will probably still be too much in 5 years time. Great graphics card but will probably need replacing in 3 years or so if your a hardcore gamer- an easy process tho, and a replacement will be $150-200. I would wait for Intels 6cell processors which arnt too far away. As youve bought everything top end componants, I would expect theyd have a shorter lifespan than mainstream componants.
7. I really don't think it is worth 9 grand. If you have the money then spend away but its a bit ridiculous in my opinion. You could build (or find I guess) a very high performance $2,000-$3,000 PC that would do you good for 4 or 5 years.
8. i will have to agree with everyone else it is a really nice system and it should do plenty for any user, and last a really long time without upgrade, but can deffinetly be built cheaper
9. If money is no factor sure, go for it. If it is at all, then this is not something I would do. I spent 1200 on my rig and I guarantee it will last me 3-4 years with minimal upgrades.
10. no way just spend a grand and a half and you will have a brill pc 9 grand is insane plus then you can upgrade it if you want to ( u wount need to )
