Just for the fun of it, I threw together basically the most expensive parts I could possibly find, totally ignoring if they are worth it or not. Prices are in € because I'm from germany, sorry about that. But they shouldn't be much different from US$, especially since taxes are included:

CPU: Intel Core i7-5960X € 1.229
MB: MSI X99A Godlike Gaming  € 559
RAM: Corsair 128 GB DDR4-2666 Octa-Kit € 1.379
SSD: Samsung MZ-75E2T0B (2TB)  € 704
GPU: 2x EVGA GeForce Titan X Hydro Cooper € 2.798
PSU: be quiet! Dark Power Pro P11 1000W  € 244,90
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 € 89,90
Case: Lian Li PC-A76X Big Tower  € 209,90
Optical Drive: LG BH16NS40 Blu-Ray € 69,90
Monitor: Philips 288P6LJEB/00 (4K)  € 424
OS: Windows 10 Home     € 104,90
Overall:  € 7.812,50

 

That build is ridiculous in every way imaginable. You will never need the power of the CPU. A 6700K isn't that much slower, but very much cheaper! You will also not need two Titan GPUs. Two GTX 980 would be perfectly fine, but yeah, if I would have chosen parts that would make actually sense, I wouldn't come near your price range. The monitor is a little less expensive, since you mentioned "it doesn't need to be made out of gold". So I picked something cheaper there. But you can also spend more than 2.000 € on a monitor if you really want to, which will bring you up to 5K with insane image quality. 

 

I wouldn't recommend such a PC for anyone, frankly. But if your only goal is to build a ridiculously expensive PC and you don't care about the money, go for it and have fun!

Wow you Europeans really have it rough when it comes to PC hardware.First you have to pay the "import"tax, and then the sale tax(which is really high compared to many states here).In the U.S we obviously have lower prices, but we also have Newegg so no sale tax.I'm actually surprised of how big PC gaming is in some places there specifically Germany for example.


Here in the UK we have VAT and the tax on electonics applied by the government. It also doesn't help that distributors/retailers have to pay hefty import fee's getting the products into the shop. One example is EVGA EU gets their products straight from the states, one reason the prices are so much higher.
