If the first one is dead then you revive it as this is not really a time-sensitive topic.

[esoomenona]

Last post was less than a month ago.

You should definitely post in that thread, and post more pictures. I'd like to see that case from other angles.

bad choices righ der'

Gtx770 is really slow for what they're charging

750 watt on that rig, you're losing power efficiency because your peak load probably is less than 450watt.

and your overclock is laughable..

Complete waste of k-series cpu + good oc-capable motherboard

[tp4tissue]

An example of a well thought out Gaming PC

7970 $250 on sale - $50 worth of games = ~$200 

performs around 95% as fast as a 770 for HALF its price.

4670k is good, but it needs to be at 4.8ghz, which is its standard overclock

delid, and you're good on nearly any aftermarket air-cooler, to reach 4.8.

600 watt psu, because haswell doesn't eat much power

I do plan on putting a proper watercooling loop in here, but I found this site so....yeah....

[vun]

Just putting this out there; did everyone miss the part about there already being a thread for this? The thread isn't even 2 pages, it's not that much to read...

[oscillik]

ahh, sorry

wonder if a mod can merge?

No point, just repost your stuff over there

Palit 3GB 580

Is this rig new, and if so, where did you get a 580 3GB?

I have been searching for one to upgrade my 1.5GB for a while now but they are freaking rare around here and quite sought after. There are almost no cards which are better for certain applications other than the Titan.

I would kill maim someone for a 580 3GB.
I would kill for a Titan.

I bought it for my brothers rig about a year ago, but since he loves his netbook it barly got used, so its been used for about 100-150 hours total
i used it to test it for 5 mins and still works perfectly, so its currently sat connected to my "second rig" which i need a power supply and its a complete system

But yeah i looked at benchmarks and its on par with my 3GB 7970 and waterblocks for it are cheap as chips!

doesn't matter..

I don't care what people keep telling me, 5ghz sandybridge is not enough..

I'm going to drive my ass up to microcenter this black friday and GO Haswell, and get a 3rd 7970 for 3x cfx.

Insane that it beats the entire 6-series and up to 780. I recon it is one of few cards where the 3GB version costs more than double that of the 1.5GB. So sad decided to get the 1.5GB back then.

[Puddsy]

Too lazy to post pics.

i5-2500k @ 4.4
Hyper 212+
ASRock Z68 Extreme3
8GB G.Skill
XFX 6870
Seasonic 620w PSU
1TB WD black drive (bought during height of inflation, so $160ish)
HAF 912
Optical Drive
Some fans and a fan controller

Bought with peripherals (QFR, deathadder (now dead), 21 inch acer monitor, QCK mini, headset) cost me $1600ish.

HERE ARE THE SPECS OF THE LAPTOP I'M ON RIGHT NOW:

COMPUTER: COMPAQ LTE ELITE 4/40 CX
PROCESSOR: INTEL i486, 40MHZ
MEMORY: 20MB
DISK DRIVES: 384MB HARD DISK AND 1.44MB FLOPPY (FLOPPY DRIVE'S BROKE)
OPERATING SYSTEM: WINDOWS 95
GRAPHICS: VGA
MONITOR: 7" LCD

I PUT A WIRELESS CARD IN A PCMCIA SLOT SO I CAN ACCESS THE INTERNET THROUGH MSIE5.5.

[Hak Foo]

Is it a DX2/40?  I have a Toshiba T1950CT somewhere with that processor, but it has a mildly accelerated video card.

[Tarzan]

I've got a DX2-66 in storage, I think I modded it to DX2-100*.  Has 640Mb of disc storage, but that needed two hard drives.   

(*DX4-100? Something like that.)

[noisyturtle]

Nothing crazy, goal was to build it for 1k or less almost 2 years ago. Maybe time to upgrade some things:

Corsair 500R
i5 2500k oc to 3.9GHz
16GB DDR3
MSI GTX560ti Twin Frozr II 2Gb
Western Digital Black 1Tb
x2 240Gb Corsair Force SSD
Soundblaster X-FI Titanium

[microsoft windows]

nope, it's just a straight 486. a little slow, but it runs good and reliably.

i recently got ahold of an upgraded compaq laptop with a 512mb hard disk, 9" screen, and a 75mhz 486/dx2...now i just gotta get a memory card reader so i can transfer network drivers onto it since its floppy drive is broke too.

[Altis]

Intel Q6600 2.4 GHz Quad-Core (2007)
Radeon HD6850
4 GB DDR2 RAM.....

Come to think of it, my keyboards cost more than my computer.

Just as well!  Still runs modern games like a champ (granted that's mostly due to the video card).  Reinstalling Windows 7 every 6-12 months helps, too.

I want to upgrade motherboard/ram/cpu, but the need isn't there until it starts performing poorly..... hmm... I really just want USB 3.

[keymaster]

The graphics card has an aftermarket cooler installed which keeps the temperatures 30C+ cooler than with the stock fans. I built this PC back in early 2011 and I'm wholly satisfied with it. I'm not much of a gamer, but I'm able to play SC2 and Path of Exile on max settings with smooth visuals -- which is all I wanted.

That being said, this PC should last me at least 4-5 more years. My next computer purchase will most likely be a slim All-in-One PC since I'm not a fan of how huge this NZXT Phantom case is.

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 (cheap m-atx mother board)
AMD FX 4100 at 3.6GHz boosts to 3.8 (stock)
8GB of 1333MHz Kingston black edition RAM
AMD HD7770 1GB
500GB WD blue HDD
OCZ 600W power supply

Poor mans gaming PC . It is good enough for me right now.

Just out of curiousity, what are people using to connect multiple hard drives? 

I've got an Asus motherboard with 8 SATA ports, but two are those weird Marvell ports, and two are SATAII, leaving only four SATAIII ports.  I've got two SSDs and four 2TB HDDs, plus the optical drive, so even though there are plenty of places to mount the drives in the case, I run out of connectors on the mobo.

Anyone use RAID controller cards, or external storage arrays?

I USE IDE CABLES. MOST OF MY MOTHERBOARDS COME WITH 4 IDE PORTS, WHICH I USUALLY HOOK UP 1 CD DRIVE, 1 ZIP DRIVE, AND 2 HARD DISKS WITH.

Only trolls use Zip drives.  They are evil.  Click of death and all that.  I have Zip drives in my QuickSilver Macs.  So there.

Get some filters and a can of air. Blow it out every couple of weeks.

My main PC:

i7-3770K@4,7GHz@1,26V
Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H
8GB AData DDR3 2200MHz
XFX HD7970@1300/1600@1,25V
~2TB HDDs + 64GB Crucial SSD on Windows 8
1350W Enermax Max Revo PSU (actually my benching PSU I now have in use 24/7 there and it's a little overkill^^)
Fiio E10 Headphone Amplifier with Sennheiser HD600 headphones
CPU and GPU watercooled by Mora 2 Pro 1080 radiator


Second system I'm currently building at my parents house (it's a little project just for fun, building a now very cheap PC with 3-4 old, former Highend hardware, I will keep it below 300€ in TOTAL including all parts and watercooling):

i7 950
Asus Rampage 2 Extreme
6GB Corsair Dominator GT 2000MHz CL7 (MNH-E Hyper Chips)
(still looking for GFX, maybe GTX260 I have laying around till I find a decent GTX480 SLI or something)
700W Seasonic PSU
+ some parts I have laying around, like HDDs, but nothing special there.
CPU, Mainboard, graphics cards and even RAM will all be watercooled. Parts are all there and just need to be assembled in a few days.

[Masterchief79]

Oops, quote instead of Modify, please delete this^^

[daerid]

My work rig's got the 3970X in it and 48GB of RAM, but the vid card's only a 3gb 660ti (it is for work after all). Don't remember exactly what the mobo is, but the case is the white Corsair 600T.

Only pic I have:

I have a 6600 sitting at 3.2 with 8GB RAM and a 7870
There's nothing I can't run, it even runs crysis, just not on max settings but is there a machine that can???
I agree, the only thing I am missing is usb 3.0 but I don't really miss is since I upgraded my hard drives to samsung 840 pros
