Gotta ask. Why not Windows 10? Do you have any pics of your desktop?
Here is my gaming rig.
OS Win 10 Pro
Case - Some generic POS that I have had for 10 years.
CPU i5 2500k @4ghz
GPU Nvidia 760
Memory 8 GB generic.
2 x 120GB SSD RAID 0
1TB Mass storage
“Why not Windows 10?” … I will upgrade before the ‘free’ cut off date, I’ve just got to back up (again) first. I keep meaning to do it …
First I find out you’re an Engy, now you’re telling me you’re also a 2500K (@ 4Ghz) appreciater!
There’s just been no need to upgrade from Sandy Bridge yet though eh.
I have been REALLY thinking about upgrading the rig. Not based on CPU, but I need more RAM. I dont want to dump even $100 into that machine to get more RAM as I cannot bring it with me down the road…
Gamers dilemna. Dump money into old architecture, or upgrade a serviceable machine to no real gain
How I love to discuss PC stuff! This system I build took me about 2 years to complete and also recently bought parts for it, started building it in 2014
CPU: i7 4790K
Cooler: Cooler master seidon 240M (with 2 X 120mm fans on the radiotor)
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1
RAM: 32GB (4X8GB) Kingston HyperX beast series
GPU: EVGA GTX 980Ti SC
GPU 2: (PhysX GPU and for other monitors) EVGA GTX 950 SC
SSD 1: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB (with windows 10 64 bit)
SSD 2: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB (for games only)
HDD: 3 X 1TB Seagate @7200 RPM
CD drive: ASUS
PSU: Thermaltake semi modular Gold certified 1050 watt
Monitors: 1 X 1080p ASUS 144Hz and 2 X 1600X900 19’ LG monitors
It is a bit overkill, but I realized running all 3 monitors from the GTX 980 ti caused some direct X functions not to work, solved it with a cheap GTX950, was initially only going to have 2 monitors, the second 19’ LG monitor was meant to go back to South Africa for my old PC (which is a old i5) or for my brother, it did not fit in my suite case and I bought it second hand for a really good price, so I kept it and surprisingly it is very handy when editing videos or when streaming to Twitch, did not think this will be the case, thought it might be a waste of space. The RAM, I bought the second pair on a sale and since After Effects can use all available RAM when rendering a 10 second clip, it came handy a few times
here is my setup. It was first built late 2009. Last year I replaced my i7 920 with the 6 core xeon for €40. I bought the 290x when bf4 released previously had a 6970 and 5850 before that. I will probably do a complete upgrade for the next battlefield game. At the minute I just dont think I will benefit much for the money I would have to spend. The drawbacks to my current setup is of course limited sata3 and usb3 support
CPU: xeon x5670 6 core @4.2GHz
Cooler: corsair h100i

RAM: 12GB 4x3GB 1600MHz
GPU: AMD 290x
SSD: 128GB OCZ
SSD 2: Corsair 256GB
HDD: 1TB WD
DVD-BluRay: LG
PSU: 1200W coolermaster
CASE: Coolermaster CM690

Mouse K/B : Logitech G9x +G105
Steering Wheel : Logitech DFGT (originally bought for ps3)
Sorry Timelord completely missed that reply… lol, the 32GB came handy when I started putting in 3D text with a 3D camera in videos on cinematics for Battlefield 4, used about 80% of the available RAM, streaming is a hassle free task for this PC, I can stream BF4 in 1080p at 60FPS with no problem
I love the idea of m.2 SSD but I sticked to Sata as it was a bit cheaper and I already had then one SSD on Sata, the second one is purely for games to load faster
