@greatbolshy: 1080 benchmarks just revealed it blows everything out of the water. pretty much beats SLI 980's in everything. I'd think that'd be good enough to get a 1080, just sell the 970

built at the beginning of january. thanks to good deals it cost me like $850 or something but normally would've been 1200 ish

i7 4790k

2 1080p acer monitors

currently working on saving for a new setup. i plan on doing a big upgrade next year around this time. waiting for the next gen gpu release since i can't justify getting a 1070 or 1080 after just buying a 970 (rip). i'll be getting a vr headset if they end up working out, triple 144 hz monitors, new headset and a new desktop, preferably with liquid cooling since i haven't tried that yet.

i have my older desktop that i used for gaming hooked up to my tv so i can watch streams and stuff while playing games or laying in bed

@xylyls I don't have a powerful machine but I posted

@xylyls: ur right i dont have a custom one and didnt plan on commenting until this

@norman897: At my parents house?

@xylyls

One question. Where do you stay now?

@fradddd: well, let's use our heads for a second buddy. only those who HAVE a machine will even post on basil, which will then make it seem that 99/100 people on basil have one.

mine
i5 4590
GTX MSI 970
Asus Maximus VI Hero
Antec 620W PSU
2x4 GB DDR3 1600 G1.Sn1per ram
250 GB Samsung Evo SSD
1 TB WD Blue HDD
2x Corsair 120MM fans
Corsair Strafe RGB Keyboard
Mionix Avior SK mouse
Some 24 inch Dell monitor
NZXT S340 Black/Red case

I only know like 1 or 2 people in real life who have custom built gaming computers.
But of course on Basil 99/100 people have one lol.

(to answer the question, I have a crappy specs non-gaming laptop, because I get bored of video games).

This is my gaming laptop. Bought it back in late 2013.

https://www.msi.com/Laptop/GS70-STEALTH.html#hero-specification

It has a 2.4ghz processor, 12 gigs of ram and a combo of 128GB SSD and 750GB HDD.

My gaming pc:
Intel core i5-4690 @ 3.5GHz quad core CPU
8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600 RAM
Asus GTX 750 Ti OC
250GB Crucial MX200 SSD (for windows and essential applications)
1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue 7200RPM Hard Drive (for my steam games)
3TB Western Digital Cavier Green 5400RPM Hard Drive (additional storage for my anime, music, and other storage needs)
3TB Western Digital External Hard Drive (contains my private anime library collection consisting of over 200 anime series)
Antec VP-450 450W PSU
Asus H81-PLUS motherboard
Antec ISK-600 case

Peripherals:
FiiO E10k external DAC/AMP
Audio Technica ATH-A900X headphones
Edifer E10 exclaim speakers
Cooler Master Storm Devastator (Blue) keyboard and mouse combo
Xbox 360 wireless controller and pc dongle with rechargeable battery pack
Acer 23 inch IPS 5ms response monitor
Toshiba 43 inch IPS television

I'm planning to swap out my GTX 750 Ti for the GTX 1080 next month, probably will have to get a new PSU as well.

i can help anyone with building , since i am still building with mine , need to replace vga fans with water

@squid: It's up to you if you want to go 16. Some modern games recommend 8gb ram and some betas and early access games have bad coding that ends up utilizing more than normal amount of RAM.

@stoker: Lets build another.

Built this 3 years ago (~$1,200):
CPU: i5-4670K OC'ed to 4.2 GHz from 3.4 GHz. (~$230 at the time)
Heatsink: CM Hyper 212 Evo. (~$30)
RAM: 16GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 @ 1600MHz. (~$110 at the time)
Motherboard: An Asus Z87 MATX board. (~$100 at the time)
Storage: 250 GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD + 1TB Western Digital Blue HDD (~$250 at the time)
GPU: Asus GTX 770 2GB model (~$330 at the time)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA GS 650W (~$65)
Case: Bitfenix Prodigy M Black (~$70)

I'm content with this setup since I game at 1080p @ 60Hz and the 770 can still handle the latest AAA titles with a mix of very high and high settings (albeit with AA turned to FXAA or off).
I also like playing older AAA titles from like 2012-13, which the 770 has no trouble maxing out at full ultra settings.
I'll probably upgrade to a 970/980 when they're fall into the sub $150/$200 range, which will probably be sometime next year.

I don't have this yet, but I will be building it once the new Nvidia video cards release:

- Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
- Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler
- MSI Z170-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

- Samsung 850 EVO 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
- Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
- Nvidia Pas​cal 1070
- Cooler Master MasterCase 5 ATX Mid Tower Case
- EVGA SuperNOVA GS 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
- Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)

- LG 23MP47HQ 60Hz 23.0" Monitor

I3(Idk the model), 1.7GHz
4GB DDR3 1333Hz
1TB HDD
Intel default graphics card (4400), 1,5GB (Shared)
Generic mouse

glad to see maple players are freak on pcs too thought its me only

Comp is 4 years old now. Needs an upgrade.

- Mac Pro modded case
- 3770k
- Corsair H100 cooling
- 60gb Intel 520 SSD (Cost $100 at the time... Lmao...)
- 1TB HHD
- 4TB external storage
- 500gb 850 pro Samsung SSD
- 16gb DDR 3 ram (Would like to upgrade to 32gb)
- Asus Z77 saber tooth Motherboard
- 750w PSU
- AMD 6950 HD GPU (Going to upgrade to a 1080)

I don't plan to OC yet so I'm good with what I have. The games I own already run smoothly so I won't upgrade unless I need to.

@ereckgoose: your graph kinda can compare to mine but i got bettoer memory 8GB
@stoker: compare to mine , mine is better but you rocks on vega 3 SLI ! nitro R9 390x cant get sli or crossfire cuz its overclocked by default
@ereckgoose: since you have NZXT Source 530 you can add water cooling for only 60$ i guess
