Computer Setup's

What are your guys comp. setups?



Mine:

Asus

1gb video card

1 terabyte hardrive

quad core

8gb RAM

[I'll post specifics once I can]

Asus m4a88td-m/USB3 Micro ATX Motherboard (880g chipset)
6 core AMD Phenom II 1090T Black edition overclocked to 4.0GHz under watercooling
AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB gpu (Gift from dad)
12gb Team Elite DDR3 Ram with heatsinks OC'd to 1600mhz
HDDs
MAIN: 320Bb 7200rpm
Secondary (Twilight Sparkle): 2Tb 7200rpm

I have a cherry MX Red mechanical keyboard, a logitech g500 gaming mouse and an LG Blu Ray writer connected next to my other 2TB USB archive drive.

My main monitor is a 26 inch HDTV and secondary is a 21 inch 1600x900 Acer

Lastly, i have this pretty case:



I'd just like to add that i have all of this sitting on and around a $20 folding plastic table... I didn't feel like buying a desk (nor did i feel like having the money for a desk apparently)

GTX 560 video card

P5K Asus motherboard, Intel Core 2 Quad@2.66GHz

4 Gigabytes of RAM, 3 usable due to the limitations on XP

300 Gigabyte HDD

Windows XP SP3(Duh)

Monitor is 1152X864 by default but I run it on 1024X768 for most uses. Crappy thing, hard to turn on so I leave it on almost all the time.

In the future, I intend to get an SSD, 4 more gigs of RAM, and Windows 7 when I finally dig a hole and bury XP. The Intel Core 2 Quad is the suggested processor for a lot of quite high-end games that came out in the early half of 2012, so it'll last a while. Next step for me will probably be the i5 or, just as likely, what replaces it. The GTX 560 is powerful enough to support max settings on any game I have, so medium settings will probably be possible when it becomes too obsolete for that. I need to replace my monitor and/or get a second one.

Asus p6z77 lv-x motherboard
Intel i5 3550 CPU
Coolermaster 212 evo heatsink
Corsair 1600mhz DDR3 RAM - 12GB
Gigabyte amd radeon HD 7950 900mhz 3Gb GDDR5
Corsair TX 650 PSU (m)
700Gb HDD as my main, 300 called pony, both 7200rpm
Fractal design R4 case



...well, to be honest, the case and psu are yet to arrive, but yeah. My set-up all the samme.

Also, sorry derpy.. But...

I'm oblivious to the meaning of this...

MSI P67A-GD53 main board
Intel Core i7 2600 CPU
2x4Gb Corsair Vengeance RAM kit (1866MHz)
Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 w/2.5 Gb
500Gb WD VelociRaptor (system) + 3 Tb Hitachi UltraStar (storage, called Drala Fi)
InWIN Fanqua case w/ built-in 600W PSU and 5 fans

Rice = ricer = LOTZ OF L.E.D'Z

Basically it means you have a Subaru Impreza while I have a BMW
...Though admittedly, I am currently offending myself while I'm without the Fractal.

Bleh, I never liked germans anyway, far too expensive

Did i mention i built my entire set up (including displays, peripherals, speakers, etc) For under $1000?

Took me about 16 months of catching sales and making good craigslist deals, but yeah, I've spent exactly $975.25 on it. only like $650 was actually on the tower.

Nice. I have to hand it to you there, you did good on the savings.


Edit: actually, can't decide. Do I go for a 650w PSU or 750w?

750 allows for the possibility for Crossfire on two 7950's, though that'd be another 230 and all... still, going 750 would provide enough power ports for the possibility of it.

You should really just got for 750W

No reason not to go for more, the price shouldn't be too much different and another 7950 in the future isn't completely implausible sounding.

Nothing really has changed in my PC since the discussion in the chat.Other than more ram and different motherboard

Amd Phenom II X6 1090T
12 GB RAM
3xHDD(70GB=OS,250GB=Documents/music/ponies,350GB=Fraps)
Nvidia Geforce GTX 560Ti
Wifi(Which i never use)/TV Tuner(i seldom use, cable company didn't fix my box yet)
ASUS M5a97 Mobo

i may post a pic later

Come next Wednesday, I'll post a pic of my set-up.
My current case is an abomination upon decency however, too little space and no cable management capability.

What would you need two 7950's for? Unless you're preparing for a possible graphical revolution a la Crysis [although, IIRC, its over-the-top system requirements were so because of poor optimization...]. I find that one 7970 is enough for anything currently.

(and a 600W PSU is enough for one 7970)

I don't need two 7950's and nor am I looking at getting one just yet.
However, the ability to upgrade my system to them in the future is what draws me.

Ordered both the case and power supply last night, as soon as my money went in the bank practically. It's due to arrive next Wednesday which is fine with me because I have Tuesday to Thursday off work.

I already have a single 7950 so buying a 7970 would be a waste of money if I was going to crossfire since it'd only be as effective as the 7950 anyway.

Anyway, like I say - it's mostly for the possibility rather than actuality. If the next generation of GPU's require three or four 6 pin connectors, I'll be fine with the 750w model.
