What Are Your Specs?

[Reaps]

I’m on a serious budget and this is what i’m in the process of buying.

Coolermaster HAF 912 Plus Case
ASUS M5A78L-M M/B
AMD FX-6100 Black Edition
Kingston 8GB DDR3 Hyper X Blu Kit
LG IPS235V 23’’ HDMI W/S Monitor
Power Colour HD6850 1GB Duel DVI

Is it possible to add another HD6850 graphics card to this in the future?
And what (cheap) PSU would you recommend for it?

[Siggs]

pfft that’s not a serious budget How much all in?

Why must you make my PC feel worse than it already is, with your sexy watercoolants.

My specs aren’t exactly very PC gaming-ish, I’m too lazy to really go and get new video cards, GPU’s, etc, but they’re not horrible though, I can get by with anything that’s around the current Source or Unreal engines, as long as there isn’t a lot of entities or fire around me.
Manufacturer: Gateway
Processor: Pentium DUAL Core CPU E5700, 3.00 GHz
Video Card: Intel G45/43 Express Chipset
DirectX Version: 8.15.10.2413
That’s mainly what’s used for gaming in my computer, nothing spectacular, but it is great for hosting servers.

Feel free to laugh and point…nerds…(joking)

The average build for the average gamer. The average gamer with a screen fetish.

CPU - AMD Phenom II x2 550 Black Edition 3.1Ghz( <<< Unlocked to x3 and OC’d @3.7Ghz )
RAM - 2x2Gb OCZ Gold DDR2 1066Mhz
MOBO - Asus M4A77D
GPU - 1Gb Sapphire HD5850 ‘Toxic’
STORAGE - 700Gb, 1Tb, 1Tb. All Seagate, all 7200rpm.
CASE - Cheap ass crap
COOLING - Arctic Cooling Freezer 7pro + lots of 120mm fans
SOUND - Logitech X-530’s + Logitech G35 headset
SCREEN - 26" HannsG Widescreen, and x2 17" Viewsonic 4;3’s
MOUSE - Coolermaster Sentinel Zero-G
KEYBOARD - Cheap ass logitech crap
PERIPHERALS - Fanatec GT2 steering wheel, Logitech G25 Pedals, Lightning SST 8-speed shifter, wired 360 pad

My cpu makes me smile. It was bought as a dual core, runs as a tri core, but cpu-z detects it as a quad core
Here are some pics I found. Might take better ones later;

I wish the case internals were blue to match, well, almost everything else. Might spray them

[Phat]

CPU- i7-2600K@4,6Ghz (cooled by noctua NH-D14)
MOBO- Gbyte Z68X-UD7-B3
GPU AMD 6970(2Gb)
RAM- 8Gigs of Transcend 2000Mhz
PSU- CM 1000watts (something)
this used to be the best PSU cm had, I also had to change its fan it was making too much noise now it has a Scythe fan works really nice
CASE - Gigabyte 3D Aurora black- my trusty old case modified to fit a 6970 (with a hammer- srsly) and I cut out a window in it.
I also have a NZXT fan controller and all the fans are from Noctua
HDD - WD 2TB black (the one with sata3 “support”) and it’s encased in a Scythe thingy passive cooling thingy

I plan on modding the case a bit more and I want to add an SSD and another 6970

EDIT - forgot to brag about peripherals
Logitech G51 surround speakers
Logitech G510 keyboard (it has fancy LGBT lights)
Logitech something ergonomic wireless mouse
Samsung T220HD 22 inches I can even watch telly on it
also
Broken DVD-RW reader

Strange how I have a fancier computer than you guise since I live in a 3rd world country.
EDIT: checked on wiki and it seems that my county has been promoted to a 2nd world country lolwut
EDIT2: nothing makes sense on wiki

@BahamutBBob

Guess I’ll post mine. They’ll change soon enough, I want to swap out the processor, which means swapping out the mobo and RAM as well.

Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit (lol “work at home” yeah right)
Core 2 6600 2.4 GHz (currently overclocked to 2.85 GHz, could probably go higher, but meh, idc right now)
8 GB DDR2 (4x 2GB )
MSI P6N SLI Platinum
GeForce GTX 470 (debating whether to replace this, keep it, or buy a better card and SLI them together, need to fix heat first if I keep it)
1TB 5200 RPM HDD (I know, I need a faster drive, gonna get one when I get everything else, maybe more than one, but I’ll probably wait to buy extras until HDD prices go back down)

Ill say stick to single core GPU, Crossfire and SLi are both a PITA!!! You often dont gain anything and most of the time have driver issues. Stick to the best single core card you can!

Id also say that with that setup the bottleneck will very likely be with the CPU, especially if its the 2 core E6600? I know my Q6600 @3GHz was the bottleneck with a lower spec 9800GTX!
