CHIM-Inspired Build, Most Powerful?
I wanted to make the most powerful build, and this is what I came up with:

Name
Ghartok Padhome
Race
Orsimer
Level
61
Health
300
Magicka
100
Stamina
500
Primary Skills
Smithing, Heavy Armor, Alchemy, Speech, Destruction, Enchanting

Skill Details:
Smithing: Heavy Armor path up to Daedric Quality. Arcane Blacksmith.
Heavy Armor: Fists of Steel is how damage is dealt if target is immune to damage, can reach up to 120 pts (240 pts power attack) of damage per punch (see calculations below). Tower of Strength, when combined with Force Without Effort, means master level spells will rarely ever be interrupted by enemy power attacks. Will easily reach armor cap. Conditioning makes armor weightless. Reflect Blows is useless.
Alchemy: Fortifies everything, mostly used for +173% Destruction Damage potions.
Speech: Since I'm using all crafting skills and buying spells, this really helps.
Destruction: Now things get a little crazy. Get all perks in the tree except apprentice destruction and beyond, they aren't needed.
Enchanting: Used for resist magic, fortify unarmed, fortify destruction, and muffle.

How to Use
It takes a while, I haven't even reached it yet, but how this works is that you use super-powerful destruction spells that cost nothing to flatten anything that crosses your path. If an opponent who is immune to magic is faced (such as Orchendor), then unarmed combat will be used. Enchanting + Smithing will mean both magic and armor caps will be reached, and alchemy can be used to further the power of anything. Fortify Destruction enchantments means destruction spells will cost 0. Invisibility potion + muffle enchantment means nobody can see you while a Firestorm is charged in their face.

Calculations:
Potion of Fortify Destruction:
100 Alchemy + ((25% Fortify Alchemy Enchantments + 30% Fortify Enchanting Potion) x 4) + 25% Benefactor Perk = 173% Fortify Destruction Potion

Damage of Incinerate[en.uesp.net]:
60
x 1.5
x 2.2
x 2.73
= 540
Base Damage
Augmented Flames (rank 2)
Destruction Dual Casting
Potion of Fortify Destruction
Total Damage
Karstaag dies by incinerate in 6 seconds.

Damage per Punch
10
+ 16
+ 16
+ 18
= 60
Base Damage
Enchanted Ring
Enchanted Gauntlets
Fists of Steel Daedric Gauntlets
Total Damage per Punch
Berserker Rage (x 2) and Power Attacks (x 2) can further increase the power.

Will post other calculations upon request. Thoughts?

Very nice, but have you tried to achieve this loadout in Requiem?

Haven't tried it in Requiem, I only play Skyrim with the unofficial patch.
