$2000 is the minimal cost of the ivy-E rig, same with a $1000 minimal cost of going with i7-4770K.
$3000 for the ivy-E is about middle-high cost, i've seen people reach $5000 on a ridiculous ivy-E rig.
edit: ohh and i meant core components without the accessories.
e.g. cpu, mobo, ram, gpu, ssd, psu, case - excluding hdd

I would agree with that although in the stuff I have been looking at it seems like really nice monitor(s) tend to really rack up the price. And if I did do a higher end Ivy-E build personally I think I would really think about the ASUS pro art 27" 1440p line.

not quite the idea i had, i'd preffer DELL's 24" 4K and a 24" 120Hz 1920x1200 monitor
the 4K would be the primary screen but games would be played on the 1920x1200 monitor.
on a note:
$1000 cpu
$500 mobo
$600 8x8GB ddr3 2400mhz CL11
$2000 2xTitanBE
$150 128GB SSD
$350 512GB SSD
$250 1000W plat PSU
$150 case?
----------------------------
$5000 - subtotal
yeaaah it can get really expensive.

Honestly 4K is another one of those things I kind of want to hold off on, until it gets to be more widely implemented. As there isn't all that much in content that can make full use of 4K and it is still rather graphics intensive to run. But again I think in a few years pretty much everything should be setup to make full use of 4K, and by then there should be some really great displays out there and the Graphics cards to run them.

^even if 4K wasn't mature enough the standard guidelines they're following with the middle-end screens are pretty good, 10bit panels alone should get it going.
if the manufacturer follows the color requirement you'd get no less than 75% adobe RGB on even the cheap lines, this is quite a feat and worth a consideration.
more info about the guidelines they're trying to follow - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec._2020
regardless of if you could make use of it in games though the best usage case for it right now is when you use it for browsing images and watching movies, the graphic load of 4K when upscaling with madvr's max quality is on the right fit for a mid~higher tier GPUs.
so in this case picking the best choice of 4K monitor with a reasonable price won't lose you out, you can just move that monitor as a TV monitor if you find a better desktop 4K monitor.
win-win for the most part, since TV feeds aren't exactly color/response/frame-rate sensitive.
speaking of cheap, half-decent 4K theres Asus yet again.

good god the price is just superbly low, sad to say that its on a TN panel, well at least its 60Hz unlike the other 4K 30Hz screens.

NVMe progress seems to be coming along nicely.
this makes me wonder though, why don't they go with a large cluster of 64Gbit or 32Gbit chips to make high capacity high speed drives instead of slapping in a few 128Gbit chips?
cost aside, the overall speed from getting more NAND chips for channel interleaving would boost overall throughput wouldn't it?

innovation trials at it's finest, looks like they're finally using the heatpipe concept.
more cooling

speaking of cryorig's hexagonal fin stacks, it should give more surface-area to cool in, then theres less air-drag since thats what honeycomb design do.
on another note, i wonder why they hadn't tried doing a flattened heatpipe design yet, the flattened heatpipe gives more space on one direction and spreads more heat as well.
