What kind of PC do you use, manufactured or you built it yourself?

[VictiniStar101 214]

What kind of PC do you guys use, manufactured, such as a Dell or HP pc, or one that was built by you or some other company such as Cyberpower or MSI?

 

Please include your specifications as well, if you know them.

 

I use a PC that I built in the summer of last year.  It's pretty low-end but it gets the job done, although if I can, I will get some more parts and build a better one next summer.

 

Current specs

AMD FX-4100 Quad-core processor @ 3.6 GHz

XFX Radeon 6670

8 GB of RAM

500 GB hard drive

 

The parts that I want to get to build a new PC

I saved up a long time to build the beast I put together myself last summer. It runs pretty much anything on Ultra settings without a hitch.

 

Specs:

Intel i7 4790K @ 4.0 Ghz

G.Skill RipjawsX 1600 MHz 16 GB, in 2x8 configuration.

Gigabyte R9 290 Windforce OC

ASRock Z97 Fatal1ty Killer

1 TB HDD as primary, secondary 500 GB HDD for downloading stuff to.

[remove p l e a s e ? 800]

I have both.

I have a Gateway SX, which is a crappy pre-build. It's specs:

AMD Dual Core APU 1.4 GHz.

6GB RAM.

500GB HDD.

 

The one I built is miles ahead it's specs are:

AMD Quad-Core APU 3.4 GHz. (Can be OC'd.)

16GB RAM.

500GB HDD.

500W PSU.

[Invincible 2,091]

This old rig still manages to do the trick, even though it's starting to go sluggish. A PC i put together and upgraded when an opportunity presented itself. My specs are

AMD Phenom X6 3.2 GHz (6 cores)

4GB DDR3 ram

GeForce GTX 770 2GB 

1.5 ter. Hard drive (+ additional 128 gigs of SSD)

So yep, that's my "rig" if you can even call it that, it sure as hell doesn't set the world on fire but it sure does a fine job of doing everything I need to do.

[Neko 33]

this notebook was around $500 bucks

 

GATEWAY NV59

 

 

intel i3 M370, 2.4gz (dual-core)

5650 mobility radeon HD (1gb ram)

4gb ram

452 hdd

 

its called a notebook, but its heavy like a laptop

despite how slow it is on some games (gmod, csgo) its actually very reliable for gaming.

[Jackleberry 1,923]

I built my own PC, for the first time, back during the Summer time this year. I call it the Walrus.

 

CPU: i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB

RAM: 16GB (2 x 8GB) G.Skill Ripjaws X Series DDR3-1600

PSU: EVGA SuperNova 750 G2 80+ Gold Certified

MB: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H ATX LGA1150

Case: Thermaltake Chaser A31 ATX

 

I intend to get myself a better graphics card early next year (need to run that modded Skyrim w/ ENB at 60 FPS, man), and maybe add on a second hard drive as well.

[smitty121325 64]

I have a Dell Inspiron 15-R 5200 that runs Windows 7 Home Premium, one that I'm in the process of being fixed.

[Oblivion 20,266]

LOL, with all these i5 and i7 processors along with ridiculous amounts of ram and monster video cards my little pc is nothing!

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

I just have a Windows 8 Acer laptop I got earlier this year.

[Envy 6,167]

I'm using one that I had built to my specifications by a company. So it's kind of the best of both worlds? (Namely, it was cheaper. Still far too much to have to spend for a computer, though) They shipped it with the video card outside of it, though, so I still had to have someone to do that for me. >.>

 

 

[Golurk 468]

I got mine at Best Buy. 

 

As for specs... Um... It was made by Lenovo, and there's a sticker on it that says "Pentium", if those mean anything. 

 

If it's any indication, it can run BlazBlue and Warframe pretty smoothly on low graphics settings. Anything above that, and the program just instantly crashes.

 

But, I've been thinking of building one. Er... having a friend who actually knows something about computers build it. Chances are it would instantly die if I built it.

[Flutter's lover <3 8,205]

Some of these builds are reminding how out of date my PC actually is....Makes me sad. Makes me want to get a new CPU and video card.as well though.

 

I built my PC myself 5ish years ago.It was the 2nd PC I ever built.

 

Here's my specs.

[Thuja 3,659]

The computer I'm currently using was bought at staples.  I am considering building my own in the future though, it still seems a bit intimidating to me to do it...    

 

Just a bit of an update, I have begun to buy components for my pc.  I already have the case, mobo and the optical drive is on it's way.  I know that isn't much but it's better than nothing .

[DATA EXPUNGED 324]

That is all I use it for, that and internet stuff.

It cost me about $7000 mainly because it uses the best graphics card Nvidia has to offer, three in fact, which themselves cost $2100

Also, if i may recommend, if you wish to stay with AMD Radeon, i would reccomed 2 Radeon R9 270x in a crossfire configuration. they dominate (together) the 280x and 290x and are alot cheaper.

[Cirrus. 1,089]

In the past I would configure systems through Dell's website for myself or relatives. The quality/value just isn't there anymore

 

 

I just built this about a month ago. I haven't really used it much yet though (busy).

•   MB:    Asus X99-Deluxe ATX 2011e
• CPU:   Core i7 5820k 6-core 3.3Ghz (OC @ 4.13Ghz)
•             -Cooler:  Corsair Hydro Series H55 ==> Corsair H105
• RAM:   16GB Crucial (4X4GB) DDR4 2133
• SSD:    Samsung 120gb
• HDD    1TB WD Black
• Video:  ASUS GeForce GTX 760 ==> ASUS GeForce GTX 770 (due to advice from @Daring, and @Lunatic Envy.)
• PWR:   Corsair 750W CX750M
• OPTI:   12X Asus Blu-Ray Burner
• OPTI:   24X LG DVDRW
• Windows 8.1----------- WHICH IS PISSING ME OFF   I should have got 7

Case:    Zalman Z12 Plus (Mid Tower)

 

 

 

I laughed when I saw the description for the video card (1st line).

 

Right now I mainly use my Sony Vaio i7 laptop from late '10. That thing actually came with a Blu-Ray Burner in it. Funny thing was that I got lucky and bought it at a Sony store pre-configured. I wouldn't have ordered it any different.
