I’ve seen a few threads 'bout recommending different GPUs and stuff, but I can’t seem to find a solid thread to share specifications.
My current PC is crap, so Im building a new one. Let me know what you think? (I want it to run Battlefield 3 on Ultra)
Cpu:AMD FX-6100 6 Cores @ 3.3Ghz
Gpu: GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB (is it worth upgrading to 2gb?)
Motherboard: Gigabyte AMD 970
Ram: 8Gb (4x2Gb G-Skill Ripjaws)
500Gb Hard drive
550w Power Supply
[COLOR=‘Red’]So what are your specs?[/SIZE]
I saw that thread. I figured it was more photos than hard stats
My specs = not as good as yours.
That was the answer you were looking for right
Not at all. Seriously, I want to know what the community’s pc’s are like; some people pour their hearts into creating their dream machine, others… not so much.
i5 2500
MSI GTX 560 ti twin frozr
8 GB ram (Gskill ripjaws x)
Black Caviar 1tb
Lotsa specs in there though. Figured it’d have what you needed? By sharing specs you want to know what is an average comp.
Honestly, just think. Does it run the games you want to play at the performance you want. If not how does it lack? Resolution or load times or draw distance? Upgrade the parts that impact these things. And are a few more fps worth the money to you? You don’t really need to see other people’s specs to know what YOU want.
I’ll post my specs anyways tho
AMD Athlon II x4 2.6 ghz
ATI 5770 1 gig
8 gig ddr2 memory
1 tb 7200 rpm hdd
550 watt psu
I admit that yea, there are. But seeing as the OP never mentioned actual specs and only posted a photo, the feeling of the thread seemed more geared towards cases.
Again, true. But I like to see what rigs people have. I know what I want and what works for me, but different setups work for different members. It’s also interesting to track PC specs in correlation to what games people like to play.

Yes, it is also my work computer which I have at home and I can provide screen captures of CPU-z if requested.
Sorry, my home computer only a single Quadro 5000 in it. My computer at work has the dual 6000 set up. I based my home computer on my workstation albeit with cut down specs. Slower processors, half the memory, cheaper graphics etc.
May I suck your dick?
Fair enough I’ll play along. And I’ll go all out… 
My PC was the epitome of a ‘budget gaming pc’ at the time. Peripherals and all, it totaled under £400. I got a lot of advice off a guy called Phillip Wand, if anyone remembers, he used to do the hardware segment in the British gaming mag PCzone. Anyway, it was a very ‘in the moment’ pc built on common hardware at the time, because, well, it was cheap as chips Even if it was on it’s way out fairly soon…

Green is the original PC waaaaaay back in March 2010. Red shows the gradual upgrades since then. But now I’m stuck with 4Gb of ram because DDR2 is so expensive. I can go much higher CPU wise though.
Total rebuild in…well, I don;t have one planned. I’m replacing the cpu of gpu next. If it’s the cpu, I’ll go to the best one my board can support. If it’s gpu, I’ll get a mad one and build my next system with it carried over.
Oh and finally, some pictures. Nice cable management, boring looking graphics card;
At uni it sits flush at the end of the desk. You’d never know it was there
Tax payer dollars hard at work. I am a part time Ph.D. student and needed some real power for my dissertation so I wrote a grant proposal to NCAR and they payed for a good portion of it.
Siggs, I am digging the triple monitor setup. I was thinking about doing something like that. I have a pair of 19 inch Dells and was thinking of adding a 24.
