Razer Megalodon (One of the best headsets I have tried on!)

 

I had a Megaladon, it lasted me for around 2 years, great headset, it has to be the 3rd best headset I've ever used! :)

 

When it does come time to part with your Megaladon, don't buy a Tiamat, it's the worst headset I've ever used, I would recommend an Astro A50 or A40, if you can afford one, I have both, the A50 is the best headset I've ever used, A40 cones in a close 2nd ;)

Tell everyone about your computer (or computers, if you use more than one)! What model is it and what OS does it run? Myself, I work from two laptops: an HP Pavilion dv6-3170ca for school, and an HP

I hate this thread and everyone who posted on it, damn you and your awesome computers.

Hey don't worry, I spent about three years saving up. Quite a long time, especially with  pocket money :/

There is quite expensive pcs but there is also ways of getting good hardware while saving some money

I guess it's okay to put my dream build on here. Since it's not technically built, I keep upgrading it from time to time.
Also, I see a lot of Intel computers on here, and being a full AMD fanboy makes me a slight bit upset since i'v only seen one FX series processor here.

 

So anyways..

 

Case: NZXT Phantom ATX Full tower gaming case.

 

Processor: AMD FX-9370 8 core processor at 4.4 Ghz.

 

Cooling: Either stock AMD Liquid CPU cooling or Corsair Hydro Series H80i.

 

Graphics Card: Either HIS Radeon HD 7870 Iceq Crossfire or MSi Radeon HD 7990, still haven't picked.

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte ATX AMD AM3+ Motherboard, maybe switching to ASUS if I can find one.

 

RAM: Kingston Hyper X 8GB DDR3 1600 or AMD Performance Series Radeon 8GB DDR3 1866.

 

PSU: AZZA TITAN 1000W Power supply.

 

And HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB hard drive.

 

So the price ranges from $1179 to $1671. Not bad for a pretty decent computer :3

Well, I've successfully updated my PC over this summer. So now I'm rocking an i7 4770k, 16 GB of DDR3 1866 RAM stuffed on a Gigabyte Z87-HD3 which I do NOT recommend. I've had to update the UEFI just to get it stable with 16 gigs of RAM and now my "overclocking" capabilites have went from actually being able to overclock to underclocking while overvolting. Still running a Raedon 7870. But now I get to bathe in the obfuscated glory that is Windows 8.1 due to AMD catalyst being rubbish under Linux. Still, beats the crap out of my old Phenom II x4.

I can neither confirm nor deny myself being the cause of electrical related malfunctions. Anyways, you wouldn't happen to have a jar of replacement magic smoke would you?

I've had my faithful black HP Pavilion G6 for almost a year now, and I don't think I could really ask for anything more performance-wise. At least, not for everyday tasks. It has a bit of kick when it comes to gaming, for sure, despite being a mid-tier PC.

 

HP Pavilion G6-2129nr:

 

HP_Pavilion_g6-2129nr_894347.jpg

 

-2.5GHz Intel i5-2450M Dual Core Processor (Has four virtual cores for some reason.)

-6GB RAM

-Intel HD 3000 Graphics card

-Windows 7 Home Premium

-It can play Skyrim on Medium and various other newer games. Recently tested was Sonic Generations, and it runs just fine, with a few hiccups.

-It also has pony stickers all over it. Yep.

 

My old desktop's a bit sad, but I love it to death. I've dubbed it a '2005 gaming machine,' though it...really isn't anymore. I'm ashamed of what happened to its graphics card.

 

Desktop (Custom Build)

CIMG0157.jpg

:

-2.4GHz AMD Athlon 64 3800+ "Venice" Single Core Processor

-4GB RAM (=_=)

-256MB Nvidia GeForce 6800GS XXX Edition Graphics card (There would be a '<3' here, but I kind of killed it while trying to play Skyrim on it. On the lowest graphics settings possible. Yeah.)

-Windows 7 Professional

-Aspire X-SUPERALIEN Silver/Red Case (Crowning JEWEL here, guys. It looks like an Alienware, and it looks classy as all hell.)

 

I've got an impending upgrade coming up for this machine, believe me. A friend of mine recently dumped his old GeForce 570GTX Ti Fermi on me, and that's getting paired with an AMD Vishera/ASUS Mobo combo in the near future. $500 for a budget machine that can play Skyrim on Extreme at full speed? Challenge accepted.

Your Intel i5 is hyperthreaded, which is why it says it has four virtual cores. My dad's Intel i3-3210m dual core does the same thing, which basically all it does is up the speed on the processor.

 

Also, if you say it can play Skyrim in Medium then I have to try my laptop out, since it's graphics processor is a little better then the Intel HD 4000. Radeon stuffz is amazing :3

I can play Skyrim on ultra. With graphical mods. In 1080p. With a near-flawless 60FPS.

 

goml.

 

Then again, I have a Core i7-3630QM, a 2GB GTX 675M and all the other fancy bells and whistles of a high-end gaming laptop.

Yeah, mine's just an HP Pavilion entertainment laptop. It has an AMD A8-4500m quad core processor with Integrated Radeon HD 7640G Graphics. If I was to get a gaming laptop, it would be an iBuyPower Valkyrie CZ-28 V1 with the AMD A10-5750m quad core processor with Dedicated Radeon HD 8970D for dem ultra stuffs.

 

But i'm saving up for a budget desktop right now, has an HD 7790 :3

Not a bad card. You gonna get a 1080p monitor to go with it?

 

...maybe even a 1440p monitor if you have the room for one? I have yet to find one of those smaller than 27".

Only 1080p, since i'm not into super fancy Graphics.

 

If I could, then I would get my dream build which you can find if you scroll up. It's a hell of a lot better then my budget build :3

I'd like a 1440p monitor, but only for video editing and other things like that. I don't exactly have room for a 27" monitor on my desk, with a 15.6" laptop and then a 19" SXGA monitor next to it that I use with my Windows 98 machine, and a whole mess of cables and random junk thrown around with very little care put into where it goes.

Sounds like a good thing, you should get a big desk to put it on along with your other stuffz. Also, you still have a windows 98 machine? I remember I used to have one, but when my dad bought a laptop we said this desktop was way too slow.

It actually wasn't originally mine, it was a retired Me > XP machine given to us by family friends, but I took it out of retirement earlier this year and installed Windows 98 on it.
