    I am pretty jealous hahaha. I wanna do a PC build as well now ><.. but im also planning on finally dropping 2K on some rims this summer.

    Will wait till next summer, hopefully by then i9 octo-cores will be out and at a reasonable price. And i'm sure Radeon will be on its 6000 series of video cards.

    hahahaha i can already speculate what that system might look like

    Full tower case with some epic air cooling
    I9 core
    12 gigs of DDR3 (Potentially DDR4) @ 2200 mhz
    Mobo with USB 3.0 capability
    1 Radeon 6890 series GPU
    1 128 gig SSD for my OS and main programs
    1 2 TB internal 7200 RPM drive for storage
    HT Omega Striker 7.1 sound card

    and 2 24 inch monitors. Hopefully for under 1750 dollars.

    The rear tires are 275's... which are insanely wide, it should look very nice from the back.

    will likely also get getting some Tein H-tech springs so i don't have too much wheel gap, but i'll get the rims first and see how it looks. Honestly i really don't want to drop my car, the weather in canada is not very conducive for low riders lol. I already know lexus is going to charge me around 400 dollars in labor for installing lowering springs, its retarded, but i don't want to take it anywhere else because i don't trust any shops in my city.
