If you win 5,000$ to spend on only 1 pc with the build of your choice, what will be the build?

Build w/o taxes btw ^^

i wouldn't spend 5k on a single pc personally.

i'd go with a workstation w/ dual 8 core xeons if i wasn't gaming.
i'd go with a 8 core xeon w/ strong graphics & high end air cooling.

This. Hell ~1k would be enough for me. No need to spend a ton on parts that's just going to be outdated down the road. Sure parts will last longer, but no need to get a loaded parts that you aren't going to use (I.E. Motherboard).
