Welp...

 

Intel Core-i3 3220

Some Biostar H61 motherboard

4GBs of RAM

Nvidia GeForce GT 610 2GB (that VRAM count may get you thinking it's a fast GPU, but, well, it's probably only barely edging out the integrated GPU in my CPU. :v )

500GB Toshiba HDD

 

And a mouse, keyboard, and a 768p monitor, if that surprises you. :nom:

My PC has changed a bit since I last posted....here's my updated specs.

 

CPU is running at 3.3Ghz and it's a Hexacore.

 

Motherboard is actually a AM3 socket, though the Speccy apps records it as an M2 for some reason..

I've got a 980ti, 6700k, 16GB of ram. Running W10. 4GB of storage + an m.2 drive for hyper speed boot up time and general Windows activity.

 

I'm running everything at 1440p with a 165Hz monitor. Most recent AAA titles only run at 80~100. Games that are a few years old all run at 165fps and it is heaven on my eyeballs.

It's decent nowadays, if not a bit outdated. No matter, runs stuff just fine. 

AMD FX6300 

NVIDIA GTX 770

14GB Patriot RAM

1TB Hard Drive

Corsair 750W Power Supply

 

I don't play many demanding/new games at the moment, and I spend most of my money on musical equipment anyhow.

1440p 165Hz?

Damn lucky. Never seen over 60fps, due to my 60hz monitor.

Unless you are willing to dedicate hundreds of dollars per monitor of your lifetime every time you need a new one (mine was $800), don't even go there. Once you see over 60, you cannot go back no matter what. It's painful otherwise. Even scrolling down a webpage in 60fps is painful to my eyes now.

 

I would recommend 1440p G-sync/freesync 60hz monitors if possible though. 1440p is a very overlooked sweet spot that adds just enough detail per square inch while not being as taxing as 4k.

 


 

Adding a speccy screenshot:

Don't know why it says @59hz. It's definitely set to 165

Well this is my Minecraft computer I got in 2013...

 

CPU: Intel 8x core I7 5th gen

GPU: Nvidia GTX GEForce 660

RAM: 8GB

CASE: Delll XYS

OS: (originally Windows 8) currently Windows 10

STORAGE: 2TB hard drive

 

We got the PC with a special deal that included everything for a desktop computer setup and it was for only 1600$!!! :)

 

But then there's my family's first computer that is a Dell dimension 4800 series from 2003. And it's done really well as it's still fully functional to this day!!!

 

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 (4x core)

GPU: most likely Intel generic graphics

RAM: 2GB

CASE: Dell dimension 4800 case

OS: Windows XP

STORAGE: 85GB hard drive

 

This computer is mostly obsolete but it's still really good for browsing the internet and for emails. :)

I have a 15-in MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM, but only 2.2 GhZ. 1TB HDD. Nonetheless it runs quite well. I use Parallels to run Windows 10 on it for my online schooling and for word processing applications. I use the Mac OS X for high-power stuff (like Photoshop and After Effects).

 

P.S. Not some rich kid, dad got it used at a discount price.

My main workstation runs the following:

 

Arch Linux with Cinnamon as the DE

i7 5930k overclocked to 4.5Ghz

64GB of DDR4

2 AMD R9 295x2s driving a 4k monitor and 2 1440p monitors

4 250GB Samsung 950 SSDs in RAID10

2 3TB WD Black HDDs in RAID0 (Was supposed to be RAID10, but my budget ran dry.)

 

And my laptop is an ASUS G751JT, also running Arch with Cinnamon on an i7 4710HQ, 16GB of RAM, and GTX 970M.

 

I'm not rich, I just once had a successful stint freelancing back when I had no expenses and found some good deals on the most expensive bits used from a friend (GPUs and the entire laptop.)

I'm thinking of going back to Arch on my desktop.... how good is Cinnamon nowadays?

It's always been the best for me - but right now, GPU drivers in general on Linux for certain newer GPUs are very broken, so if you have horrible performance in the DE that is probably why.

I recently had the opportunity to build my own gaming-grade PC and ditch my old HP ENVY x360 laptop, so I did.

 

My new PC has an Intel Core i3 CPU, 8GB of RAM, a GTX 1050 TI, and a 120GB SSD / 1TB HDD combo. It runs Windows 10 Pro and can handle most of my favorite games at mid to ultra settings.

My PC is apparently a little more robust than I gave it credit for.

 

I decided a year ago to scrap my PC and completely build another when this one putters out (it has overheating problems and most of the components are substandard and outdated) but despite throwing modern games at it, it still seems to want to impress me. Its got heart i'll give it that.

 

The computer was originally a $500 prebuilt that I decided to upgrade as time went by. By replacing the RAM, Graphics Card, Power Supply and CPU fan. That was when I had a bad paying job and couldnt get what I wanted all at once. But now that im making more than I spend I figure I can afford to completely replace and build a new gaming PC for myself. Would plan to spend $1200 on it.

 

But my current rig is

 

CPU: AMD FX-6300 6-core (3.5GHz)

Graphics: Radeon HD 7870

RAM: 8GB. Dont even remember the type

CUP Fan: Cooler Master 212 Evo

I have an i7 6700k overclocked to 4.6 GHz, runs at around 60C under full load. A GTX 1080, overclocked to 2000-2100, don't remember exactly where I had it. Haven't overclocked my RAM get, but it's pretty good already.

 

Haven't found a game I can't play at 60fps on ultra, except Space Engineers because it's hopelessly unoptimized.

 

I have a 1TB HDD and 500GB SSD, probably going to get another in the near future.

 

I have 2 24" monitors. A Steelseries Sensei mouse, and a WASD II keyboard with MX browns.

Mine runs stable at 2088 MHz, but much higher and there is only freezing and black screens in my future. 2.1 GHz seems to be the limit for Pascal cards, even if water cooled.

I used to have a PC, but iSwitched to Mac a few years ago.  ;)

 

I chose a Mac because I do graphic work, photography, and videography and need the powerful OS.

 

 

 

Laptop:

My MacBook Pro is a mid (high?) tier MacBook. I got it at a discount at the Apple refurbished store.

  • MacBook Pro: (Retina, Mid 2012)
  • Intel Core i7 2.3 GHz 

  • 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  • Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

  • Dedicated: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M

It performs decently well, but I wish I got it with more ram. 8 gigs is barely enough to edit photos and videos, but it does great with other tasks. The user experience (especially the multiple trackpad gestures) is wonderful. Plus, it is lightweight, making it great for taking around campus.

But for more serious work, I decided to invest in an iMac. 

 

 

 

Desktop:

 

My iMac is brand new, fully maxed out in every way except for the RAM (will install it later on my own) and storage (will use an external drive for large work files). I love it so much! Way too expensive, (I'm not rich), but worth the investment, imo. My rationalization is that I won't be buying anything expensive for the next 10 years! lol. 

 

  • 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display
  • 4.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.2GHz
  • 8GB 1867MHz DDR3 SDRAM - two 4GB
  • 256GB Flash Storage
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 M395X with 4GB video memory
  • Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad 2

(Here it is on the Apple store, if any one is interested to buy it.)
