Hey everyone, there isn't a lot of forum activity and I'm procrastinating work so a random PC related thread.
Here is my month old rig:
(looks better in person)
Specs:
Windows vista home premium 64bit (win7 on the way)
ATI Radeon HD 4890 OC
AMD Phenom II 940 X4 cores overclocked from 3.0 to 3.7ghz
8GB DDR2 Ram
1TB HDD
850 Watt PSU
Samsung Syncmaster 23" 2333SW 1080p LCD
Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard (having fun with the lcd
) and yes this keyboard definitely isn't worth $200, I bought it off a friend of mine who didn't want it. The LCD isn't a big deal, I use Xfire in game and use their in game browser to watch videos during TF2 setup etc.
Here is my computer I was using before:
Windows xp pro sp3 32bit
2gb DDR ram
ATI Radeon HD 4670
Intel Pentium 4 3.2ghz HT
250GB HDD
300 Watt PSU
19" Sony LCD
both served me pretty well, I could run crysis on high on the pentium 4
. But my older computer was too unreliable and constantly crashed so I reformatted it and its still having some HDD problems but is much better. I might plop down a little $ to get it a new Hard drive that doesn't have the "click of death". Anyways post your computers below

Thats impressive, how much did it cost to build? Also what is a GT 120? never heard of it. Is it a rebranded nvidia card?

It was £1,800 with a discount + me getting 2GB extra ram myself (about £35)
The GT 120 is the OEM version of the 9500 GT

I'd recommend upgrading the GPU if you game a lot, if not it will do just fine

Nice the 3x 295s and 965 must have costed a small fortune. Is PhysX really worth another few hundred dollars though?
The i7 supports tri channel ddr3 so what is up with the 8GB ram?

Firstly, no not really but I got 2 GTX's at a cheap price brand new, so I thought that'd be alright
Also as for the ddr3, I havn't got enough dosh at the moment to buy it, so I stuck my old stuff in there until next month! Which is bottlenecking quite alot at the moment, I had 6gigs in there at first but had to stick in the extra two cause its performance was lagging a little. Still next month and it'll be sweet

6gb is more than sufficient, I have 8gb and I don't believe I've ever needed more than 4gb.
if your PC lagged with an i7 965 and 6gb of ram i'd recommend reformatting it. 8gb of ddr3 still doesn't make sense, either 6 or 9gb tri channeled makes a lot more sense.
what exactly do you mean by "I stuck my old stuff in there until next month! Which is bottlenecking quite alot" What component is bottlenecking your computer

8GB, however its only in dual channel, I actually based it on Alienware m15x (Laptop) leaked docs, but I made the necessary tweeks.
Along with that I also need a new block for one of the GPUs as I bust it a little when I was installing it.
