Hey there everypony, I like building computers, and am always interested in what combinations of hardware people are running to get the most out of their games. If you have a computer you're proud of (or not) post some specs, maybe even an image! Or if you're looking at getting a new computer soon, you can get some ideas on what good parts are, or advice from other bronies who have had experience with them. Case: Antec 900 v2 (blue lights) Motherboard: Evga SR-2 Classified CPUs: Intel i7 950(x2) no OC Graphics card: Pny GTX 460 Enthusiast Edition UPDATE: Evga GTX 560ti Classified x2 (Sli) Ram: 12gb Corsair XMS3 ddr3 ram UPDATE: 48gb Corsair Vengance ddr3 ram PSU: OCZ ModXtreme 700w power supply UPDATE: Antec 1200w PSU Hard Drives: Two 2tb western digitals +1tb external UPDATE: Two 250gb SSD drives in R0 Fans: Coolermaster V8 CPU fan New fan! Edit: Don't worry, I know it's dirty, the front fans on Antec 900's are dust magnets. I just moved and haven't had time nor desire yet. (although, these pictures sure do make it look way dirtier than it is )
Specs for me, Image later. Case: Cooler Master 922 Mobo: Gigabyte GA-990FXA UD3 RAM: 4GB OCZ Platinum; 8GB Corsair @1866 CPU: Phenom II 965 3.4GHz Clocked @ 4.4GHz HDD1: 250GB HP 15000RPM HDD HDD2: 640GB Seagate 7200RPM HDD HHD3: 40GB Dell 7200RPB HDD HDD4: 500GB Seagate 7200RPM HDD Video1: ZOTAC GTX 580 1.5GB Video2: GigaByte GTX 580 1.5GB PSU: SilverStone 1.5kW Octa-Rail PSU
I wish I had the time, effort, and resources/cash to make my rig. I'm stuck with this 00' computer. :derpe:
Technically it died on me 3 times within the past 10 years, had to do system recovery. Then again I think Best Buy had something to do with this, and I didn't really own this computer until 2007. So I had to pretty much wipe the whole computer, or just clean up anything wrong with it, uninstall useless junk, scan computer for viruses/malware/etc... yeah... it's fine, I can still play me trusty CS 1.6, (Not CS:S) I just need new RAM...I have 504MB out of 512MB... :derpe:
I sometimes just wipe my computer out of laziness/unwillingness to uninstall/delete things :L It could be more of a video card problem than a ram problem, I don't think CS:S requires too much ram. Edit: Nevermind
Lol I don't own CS:S, and CS1.6 is my main game, just bad computer that can run it, but not as smoothly and computer randomly crashes due to some hardware failure or something... I just need a new rig altogether.
Fair enough, if you end up getting an influx in cash this holiday season, parts are sure to be cheap.
The Rig I am currently building and funding for myself: Case: COOLER MASTER Storm Scout Motherboard: BIOSTAR TA990FXE AM3+ CPU: AMD FX-8120 Zambezi 3.1GHz Eight-Core Desktop Processor Graphics card: MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) PSU: COOLER MASTER Silent Pro 1000W Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB Fans: COOLER MASTER 120mm Case Fan 4 in 1 pack I'm open to any suggestions or changes :]
CPU : i3 2.93GHz RAM : 4GB DDR3 Graphics : Nvidea GeForce GTX 465 Case : Some Cooler master, this isn't it but it's quite close Hard Drive : 465GB
Oh, I'll build a PC someday, I know that for certain. For now, though, I'm sticking with my trusty iMac.
This is the one I'm currently using. I'll prolly upgrade the GPU a bit next year. System Specs: Case: NZXT Phantom White CPU: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz (OC 3.5GHz) CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS12X (not on the pic since it wasn't installed back then) Mainboard: ASUS P6T-SE Socket LGA1366 RAM: 6GB GeIL Black Dragon DDR3-1066 + 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3-1066 GPU: ATI Sapphire Radeon HD5870 Vapor-X Sound: ASUS Xonar D1 7.1 PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 650W HDDs: C: 1TB Hitachi Deskstar | D: 1TB Hitachi Deskstar | E: 500GB Samsung Spinpoint | F: 500GB Samsung Spinpoint External HDD: Western Digital Elements 2.5TB Peripherals: Keyboard: Logitech G19 Gaming Mouse: Roccat Kone[+] (Spare: Razer Mamba 4G 2012) Controller: Razer Onza Tournament Edition Joystick: Saitek (MadCatz) X-52 Pro Headset: Roccat Kave 5.1
I just have a stock 2008 Macbook Pro, but it runs every game I've wanted to play on it. CPU: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT RAM: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Hard Drive: 250GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA Hopefully that RAM spec will be at 8 GB after Christmas.
I bought a Gaming computer thats quite powerful some months ago, and I love it. It isn't overly powerful though- the plan was to get a computer that could pull some weight, then to keep bettering its hardware until it became ultimately beasty. This is what I currently have; Processor; 3.2GHz Intel Core i5 RAM; 4GB HDD; 500GB Graphics; nVidia Geforce GT440 Sound; 7.1 Channel Digital Audio Output I'm happy with it for now, but will, of coarse, keep making it awesomer and awesomer.
