Holy crap Guy. Those speakers finish it off nicely.

had to post here :)
windows 7 ultimate x64
Gigabyte GeForce GTX650Ti 2GB OC Boost
amd phenomII x6
1090t cpu 16 gig ram (dont need that much, but yeah)
880GA-UD3H mainboard
Bitfenix Colossus
Logitech G15 Keyboard
I've kinda been rocking the same rig for the last 4 years or so, which isn't like me usually.
Core i7-920 CPU (have OC'd to 4.0GHz stable, but run it stock in the sake of saving on power, lol)
Big a$$ Noctua CPU Cooler (forget the model number now)
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R motherboard
6GB DDR3-1600 Kingston RAM
2 x 1GB Sapphire HD4890 video cards
1.8TB worth of HDD (All WD, 1TB, 500GB, 320GB)
Antec 1200W PSU
Thermaltake V5 case
BenQ G2450HD 24" + Dell 19" screens
Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard + X8 Sidewinder mouse
I use the same CPU, motherboard, RAM and CPU cooler. However, since got the rig together I upgraded graphics to 7950 and the HDDs to a pair of 256GB SSDs. There's not much this beast can't do :-) Not bad for a 3 years old rig.
Screens wise I got a 27" Dell IPS 2560X1600 and a 24" Acer 1080p.
After this weekend's upgrade, this is how my system now looks:
Intel Core i7-4820K 3.7GHz Quad-core CPU, cooled with a Thermaltake Water Performer 3.0 closed loop water cooling system
Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 motherboard
32GB of Kingston DDR3-1600 RAM (8GB x 4)
3GB Sapphire AMD R9-280X Dual-X OC video card
256GB Samsung 840 PRO SSD
2TB Seagate Barracuda SATA3 HDD
1TB WD Green SATA2 HDD
Pioneer DVR216 DVD burner
Antec 1000W TruePowerQuad PSU
Thermaltake V5 case fitted with Noctua S12 fans front and side
Dual BenQ G2420HD 24" monitors
MS Ergonomic Keyboard and X8 Sidewinder mouse
SSD best bang for buck computer mod. My laptop performance increased dramatically after switching to one
This. The SSD probably has to be the single biggest speed improvement in computing in the last six or seven years, upon one of the biggest bottlenecks in the average system. Worth every cent. @Shadow110, think of it as the equivalent of fitting the M-Tech shifter and Whiteline rear sway bar to your SRi. That's how good SSDs are.
I must own one then... cheers peeps! :)
SSDs are fantastic - great for processing/exporting video. They're dropping in price too. Buy an entry spec Macbook Air and you get an SSD for free (inside the machine :)).
Or dont buy a mac, get a PC and enjoy all the unrestricted feels of how a computer should be :D
may as well join in, Specs as follows:
- Intel i7 3770k quad core with HT technology (currently running overclocked at a very stable 4.2ghz)
- Antec Khuler h2o Closed loop water system with 2x coolermaster *insert fancy blade design name here* in a pull push configuration drawing air from outside the case rather than in. (ran a burn test at 4.2ghz for 2hrs straight at 100% cpu usage and highest temp was recorded at 65 Degrees C on core #3)
- 16gb Corsair something performance ram 1600hz clock speed.
- asus something fancy motherboard name
- 128gb ocz agility 3 SSD for OS, Adobe suite and League of legends :cornut:
- 6tb of various other SATA drives ive collected during upgrades over the years. (most of them being barracudas)
- Nvidia GTX 760 for them 1132cuda cores (adobe users you know what im talking about ;) )
- Antec 950w Power supply
- Logitec G19 keyboard.
- Razer Mamba gaming mouse (never use it wirelessly though)
- Razer Nostramo (mainly for games however when im working with the adobe suite the hotkeys are macro'd to make the workflow easier)
- el cheapo DVD playo Drivo
Pretty sure thats it from memory. at work currently. will screen cap from CPU-z when im home if anyone cares.
Gets a windows score of 7.6 in windows 7. the 7.6 believe it or not comes from the SSD, everything else is 7.9 :)
Old thread but I'll add my rig in because I can.
Intel Core i5 2500K overclocked at 4.6GHz cooled by a Corsair H80.
ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 mother board.
16GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz RAM
1x Samsung 840EVO 250GB SSD for OS and programs, 1x Samsung 840EVO 500GB SSD for games, 1x Seagate 2TB 7200rpm HDD for storage.
Asus ROG GTX580 Matrix Platinum graphics card
Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card
Cosair AX1200 power supply
Samsung BluRay drive
All of this is neatly placed into a Cosair Obsidian 600D case with a 200mm front intake fan, 200mm top exhaust fan plus the H80 is mounted with 2 120mm fans exhausting in a push pull fashion out the back.
Connected to this is a Max Nighthawk X7 mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Blue switches and O-ring mod, Steel Series Sensei mouse, Razer Nostromo pad (have used one for gaming since the Belkin N52), Audio Technica ATH-AD900 headphones, Audio Technica AT202USB microphone and two Asus VS24H monitors.
I built this thing to play BF3 and it has served its purpose well into BF4. I play on a 24" 1080p monitor so i get between 50 and 70FPS in BF4 with everything on high. It started out with a single Crucial M4 128GB SSD, then I switched to two Samsung 840EVO 250GB SSDs before recently throwing one of those into my notebook and buying the 500GB SSD for this. The keyboard is recent also as now that I'm studying software development I do a whole lot more typing and the small Logitech keyboard I had wasn't up to the task. For games I use the Nostromo and never needed a decent keyboard before. Aside from that it's all as I originally built it, aside from a few cable management sessions and adding the sound card in their at some point when I got the AD900 headphones.
I want to upgrade the graphics card soon as I think that's the weakest link and if I replaced the CPU I'd be up for a new motherboard also. I've done some testing with the CPU running stock and running overclocked and it didn't make a massive improvement to FPS so I think it can last until we see what X99 and Broadwell are all about. I think two 770's in SLI would be sweet but I'll wait for GTX800 cards to show up to see what they're like. I'm also toying with the idea of a Mini-ITX build in a Corsair 250D or Micro-ATX build in a Fractal ARC Mini R2 case if I go the new CPU and MoBo route.

Nice looking system there.
Only thing I have done with mine since I posted here is add a second R9-280X card. Don't really play games as much as I'd like to these days, but that's another story for another time.
I would love to play games a lot more than I do.
When I do it's a mixture of F1 2015, Assetto Corsa, RaceRoom, with a bit of Forza 6 on the Xbox One.
When not driving GTA V, And i'm actually playing COD from No1 right thru to the newer ones.
Can't stand playing online. Just don't play enough of either game & just get slaughted lol
Will update this when I get home as I'll probably get the specs wrong.
So ditched the laptop and have moved onto a desktop
i7 4770 3.4ghz
16gb ram (upgrading to 32gb)
GT630 (soon to be replaced with a GTX760ti)
Samsung EVO850 500gb boot drive.
Seagate 2tb data drive.
About 12tb of external storage.
All in a shitty case atm, possibly will swap it over to my Cooler Master Cosmo S case.
Once the video card is in I'll be looking at going to a three monitor setup of either 24" or 27".
I don't even play games on it.......

Updated above post
I have a galaxy note A, does that count?
Computers here got on/off button, rest of the specs no idea at all. Renew them once in a while. One of them is an awesome machine, very old, running on xp. The last one i got is a month old so i guess some of the latest specs. Other than that, got heaps of 2 and 3 tb drives full of data.
