i7-2600k
EVGA GTX 580
8gb Ram
2x intel 320 SSD's in RAID 0
1x 1tb Samsun Spinpoint F3
EVGA P67 FTW Motherboard
Corsair HX1050 PSU








Surely its more than just us two. Nice 3-way setup! I like it! Loving the shroud on those 560's. Asus?

[Sassori]

I7-2600K @4.8 ghz
16 gb Ram
256 gb M4 SSD
2 TB Samsung HDD Storage
580 GTX
Seasonic 650w PSU Gold Rating
NZXT Phantom Case Green and Black w/ full fans.
30" LG Monitor

I used to have all this in a little Lian Li case but it couldn't handle the overclock temps. Oh well.

I'd post up a picture but it'd look pretty tame. I'm waiting for the new 600 series that lets me work as well as play, the 680 is a joke for my work, they ripped out all the CUDA. Maybe I'll get a new AMD.

Afoxi, that sleeping cat sunbathing in the light of your monitor is too cute~ Is she a Siamese?

I want that cat looks way to damn cute

[KuramaKitsune]

lets see, noctua nh-d14 on an intel i5-2500k,
stock voltages up to 4.4ghz power saving mode drops it to 1.6ghz at like 4 watts .8v ish
oc'd up to 5ghz per core but sadly over 1.4v dont like that so i dont run 5ghz unless im benchmarking

mobo is asus p8z68 v pro gen 3
ram kingston hyperx 1600mhz 16gb 4x4gb
psu raidmax rx850ae 850watt
storage C: intel 520 series 240gb ssd sata3 6gbps
D: vertex3 120gb sata3 6gbps
E: seagate barracuda green ST2000DL003 2TB 5900rpm 64mbcache sata3 6gbps
(second one in mail, this one has like 100gb free)


gpu is nvidia gtx 670 2gb (blower fan type, i want to trade it up for an asus brand with the direct cu cooler) but i have msi afterburner running
custom fan curve for it
screen asus vh238h 1080p 2ms 50mill :1 contrast supposedly


http://s1153.photobu...rent=pcpic1.jpg



pic is of old crap tossed together photobucket totally ruined the quality of the shot tho,
that was my last rig tho btw, up in washington in the snow like 3am door wide open in the room fans at max benchmarking in as freezing cold as i could

lowest temp i got was 15c
and the windows experence test thing is a total cheat,
even slightly PAST 5ghz on an i5-2500k OR 5ghz on an i7-2600k you cant get past 7.7


its sad to think that the cpu is the slowest part of my pc.. i mean even my ram if i clock it higher gets a 7.9

I put together this PC build based on advice from both the Ars Technica System Build Guide and the MMO-Champion Build of the Month.

• Case: GAMMA Classic Series - $50
  
• PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX600 - $60
  
• CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K - $225
  
• M/B: ASUS P8Z68-V LE - $140
  
• RAM: 8GB Corsair DDR3 12800 - $60
  
• Vid: Sapphire Radeon 6870 - $170
  
• HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB - $130
  
• SSD: Crucial M4 128gb - $125
  
• Opt: Asus 24x DVD/RW - $20
  
• LCD: ViewSonic VX2250WM-LED 22-Inch - $150
  
• O/S: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium OEM - $100

Came out to just over $1200, and that includes everything.
Ended up building three of them (one for me, one for my wife, and one for my best mate), and they all perform fantastically well.

No pics as of right now...it's in an Antec 900 Mid-tower Gaming Case. I have a set of Altec Lansing 251 speakers hooked up. I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Joystick (oriignal analog), as well as a Microsoft Sidewinder Freestyle Pro USB gamepad. And yes I am dual monitored. I am dual-booted with Windows 7 64bit, but I loose my force feedback joystick on Win7, and It randomly likes/dislikes my SB Live. Thankfully I have the USB sound interface on the keyboard for headset use, as both OS's like it.
