PC Specs Thread

Even if you bend pins, shit won't work.
You'll short out something.
And toast your whole comp

 

I think mine is the only Windows Vista is this thread...

 

Yepp that's gonna happen. Or toast some northbridge by useing amd *cough* shit *cough*

 

CPU: the good ol i5-3570k @ 4.20ghz air
Ram: g.skill 32GB 2400mhz
GPU: 2x Msi GTX 760s in sli
Mobo: Msi z77a-gd65
Storage: 120GB SSD (OS and games) and a WD 750GB blue HDD (all other media)
Monitor (just cause): 2x ASUS 23" 1080p (I don't remember the model exactly)
Keyboard/mice: Corsair K70 (blue and steel) and a Corsair M65 mouse
Headset (already listed everything so why not list the whole setup): Logitech G930

 

Your OS?

 

Windows 7 lol

 

I don't have this yet but I plan on getting this computer sometime this month:
Processor: Intel i7 4770k (Might be uh...4790k? I think it's called)
Graphics Card: AMD R9 285x (I believe) (Might be 290x or something)
Ram: 16gb 1600Mhz
OS: Windows 8.1
Of course theres more parts to this build but I think these are the most important ones to share. (I might have messed up some of these parts since I did this off of the top of my head)

 

Here is how to see your specs (Windows Only)

 

Just saying.
The blue hard drives have an EXTREME early failure rate.
Like...
They have the worst life possible - don't expect more than 3 years out of it.
Get a better drive while you can (if you want to stick with Western Digital, I recommend a Black drive. I wouldn't recommend Seagate, and Hitachi makes a really kick-ass drive)

Also, your monitor is probably a VH238H. It's your most popular 23" ASUS.

Save money and fall back to an unlocked i5 :P
I don't think you really need an i7, unless you're doing development and server stuff :P
(That way, you can get a (bigger) SSD :P)

 

I do animations and edits so I need a good processor (Which is also why I have 16gb of ram) (From my knowledge these are some of the key things to NOT lag in Cinema 4d)

 

Unless you're vid editing, I'd say 16GB o f RAM is overkill.

Why have 2 cards? XD You can almost get a 780 with that.

 

If you wait half a year longer you might get Windows 9

 

Ahh, I forgot about that.
Then yeah, full speed ahead with you
(btw, the 4770 and 4790 are super bad-ass. Hex and octo-cores)

Because 2 cards, in games that support SLI, will perform way better than a single 780.

 

And what about for games that DON'T support SLI?

Only reason I'd get a 2nd card is for the sake of PhysX processing.

No it's not, as you'll see under 'Desktop' on my post, which is on the first page ;)

 

Decided to post my future specs, because why not :3

AMD 8350
R9 290
M5A99FX Pro R2.0
750W Gold
250GB 840 Evo
8GB LP 1600Mhz CL9
D14
230T Orange
And some optical drive :3

 

The games that don't support SLI will be games that won't have a benefit of running on a 780.

 

Yay!

 

I know I was on a small budget for HDD. I'm going to set up a 16TB network storage system soon
