webhead 519 Posted April 8, 2019 This seemed like a fun idea. Post all the specs for your main PC (or gaming PC). If all your have is a laptop, post about that (give us a model and maybe a link to it). Post picture too if you can! Gaming PCs especially have kinds of blinky lights now. If you are able to, post links to the parts (doesn't have to be where you bought them). It's nice to click on shit and drool over it. Case: Fractal Design Define S CPU: Ryzen 1700 (upgrading soon to a 3700x) Motherboard: ASUS Prime X370-Pro Graphics: EVGA RTX 2080 RAM: 16GB DDR4 3000 (bought from George's friend) System Drive: SAMSUNG 960 EVO M.2 250GB NVMe Spinning Drive: HGST DeskStar NAS 3.5" 4TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache Old SSDs: Samsung 950 Evo & PNY 240GB - Only PNY thing I have that didn't sporadically die on me PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 Mouse: Logitech G602 - Just got it...still getting used to it but it's nice.

Mera'din 307 Posted April 10, 2019 Lazy so not posting as much as you. Case: Corsair Vengeance Series C70 CPU: Intel i7-4790K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0 GHz Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO Graphics Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 970 RAM: G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB DDR3 Hard Drives: 1 250GB SSD, 1 2TB HDD, 1 1TB HDD. Everything else is relatively plain stuff. Old HP monitor hold over from my prebuilt HP computer (these things are built to last. My wife's she had from before I met her is still running like new). Same with keyboard. Have a Razer DeathAdder for mouse. Desk and top of my computer are a giant mess right now so no pictures. XD Have to replace video card though. Can't play games right now because my computer will shut down after like an hour of playing. Thought it might be power supply but switched out card with my wife's for a day and it ran games all day with no problem so need to save up and get a new one before I can do PC gaming anymore I guess. 1 ISO Share this post Link to post
webhead 519 Posted April 10, 2019 You have the same CPU I have in my media server! I'm going to upgrade my desktop soon to a 3700x for the big clock bump and then I think I will be good for a while. ISO Share this post Link to post
MT 917 Posted April 10, 2019 Too lazy to type all mine out. I'm using a 27" ASUS monitor, don't know the exact model, but it has super low latency (like around 2ms I think). Bought it for fighting games, mostly. My Windows drive is a 500GB SSD, and I have two 2TB drives, which at this point are kinda old and should probably get replaced before too much longer, but i'm lazy. 1 1 ISO Share this post Link to post
Downshift 54 Posted June 12, 2019 Forgot to post this, but I ordered a few new upgrades so I'll post it now while it's still on my mind. Also including components Web was too lazy to post like the PSU and webcam. (Upgrades in bold) Computer: Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 550D CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 Intel Z77 Graphics Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG Strix RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 PSU: CORSAIR CX series CX750 750W System Drive: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB Platter Drive (full of random BS): Seagate Desktop HDD 3TB NAS Storage Drives (Mirrored in RAID 1): HGST DeskStar NAS 3.5" 4TB (x2) DVD Drive/Burner: LG Internal Super Multi Drive Bluray Drive/Burner: LG Electronics Blu-ray DVD Writer Webcam: Logitech C920 PVR Dual HDTV Tuner: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 Peripherals: HTPC Mouse: Logitech G700s Rechargeable Gaming Mouse ($274.90 at time of posting, WTF) Office Mouse: MOJO Silent Bluetooth Vertical Mouse HTPC Keyboard: Logitech K800 Wireless Illuminated Keyboard Office Keyboard: iKBC CD108BT Wired + Wireless 2 in 1 Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown Controller: Xbox 360 Wireless Controller HTPC Monitor 1: Samsung PN51F5300 51-Inch 1080p 600Hz Plasma HDTV HTPC Monitor 2: TCL 55S423 55" 4K UHD HDR Roku Smart TV Office Monitor: Asus VS239H-P 23" Full HD 1920x1080 IPS Stereo Receiver: Yamaha HTR-3067 AV receiver 5.1ch / 4K Ultra HD L/R Speakers + dual subs: Pioneer CS-G303 1980's vintage towers HDTV Antenna: Mohu MH-ANT1000 Leaf Hdtv Antenna Headset: SteelSeries Siberia 840 (RF + Bluetooth + 3.5mm audio + 2x removable batteries) This is my only desktop and is an HTPC / Gaming PC that runs primarily in the living room with two HDTVs as dual monitors, driven by a wireless keyboard/mouse/controller setup, complete with a full-powered home stereo system via optical audio. It also has that HDTV antenna and tuner if I want to record free aired TV right to my HDDs. However, the tower itself resides on the other side of the wall behind the TVs; in my office behind my desk. All the cables run through an outlet-sized hole in the drywall that feed through Cable Pass Through Brush Wall Plates. The TV/stereo setup is close enough that none of the HDMI, optical or ethernet cables need to be longer than 10ft, including a USB 3.0 expansion hub so I can plug things into the PC from inside the entertainment center the TVs are on. Having the tower on the other side of the wall also makes it 100% silent in the living room when watching TV or movies. The 3rd monitor is on the desk in the office where the PC tower actually is. I'm not in there as often so all that's setup in there is the single monitor, keyboard and mouse. There are no speakers in there but my wireless Steelseries headphones work perfectly there since I'm technically closer to the receiver than when on the couch on the opposite side of the living room. Thinking of possibly expending that setup to have two monitors in there so I can actually get shit done, but that'll mean I actually have FOUR monitors which gets kind of strange when trying to move the mouse around without it getting lost on screens that I can't see because they're "in the other room". I'd still rather do that than buy and build a whole additional PC just for that office given how much I've invested in the main PC. ISO Share this post Link to post

Garlic Junior 136 Posted June 20, 2019 So, I finally have a new PC. Original budget was £700 and I saw a few video editing builds I wanted to emulate, the top-end being about £2,000 so that was my aim - get as close to a £2,000 PC for as close to a £700 budget as possible, meet somewhere in the middle. My absolute upper limit was £1,400.CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with Wraith Prism RGB LED Cooler £270GFX: PNY GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6Gb XLR8 Gaming Overclocked Edition £250 (NOTE: This is above the recommendations for the £2,000 build)Motherboard: MSI X470 Gaming Plus ATX £107 RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32Gb (2x 16Gb) DDR4 2666MHz C16 XMP 2.0 £131 Storage 1: Samsung MZ-V7S1T0BW 970 EVO Plus 1Tb Solid State Drive £212 (NOTE: This was from the $5,000+ build total overkill)Storage 2: WD 4Tb Desktop HD £89 Case: Phanteks DBK £63Power Supply: Seasonic SSR-850fx Focus Plus Gold 850 (80+ Gold, ATX 12v) £95Monitor 1: AOC 21.5" £65 Monitor 2: AOC 21.5" £65 (NOTE: Really limited by space I could have went for like a 24" and an 18" but I'd rather have two decent sized monitors for what I want to do) Speakers: Logitech Z213 £27Mouse: Easterntime Tech X-08 wireless £14Keyboard: Logitech K120 for Business £8 (NOTE: I want to upgrade this badly but holy shit the costs were rising)Extra Fans: There's like 3 extra RGB Corsair fans in there but I forget the exact model, call it £20Extra Wires: Needed to replace my ethernet cables so invested in longer, plus needed adaptors for the monitors, spent like an extra £7Desk: Hemnes Bureau £230 (NOTE: My budget for this was £70 but this beauty is perfect, exact to the millimetre dimensions to fit the space I have and the build I wanted so it needed bought)Total Cost: £1,650Evaluation: I went super over budget here, but all things considered, the difference in quality between most things in the £1,400-£3,000 range is negligible compared to what I got, the GFX card is the main thing for what I need and I went above recommendations on that and above recommendations but minorly above budget on other bits and pieces. I straight forgot about the desk, monitors, etc in my original budget so really it should have been closer to £900 to begin with. I feel I've got fantastic value for money for an initial overpayment on what I desired to spend. Pictures: 1 ISO Share this post Link to post
