AlmightyDeity Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 PC specs, to many, good enough works. To some, the sky's the limit. I'm just curious what people are running here. (Tell me if this fits in a better section) There may be a topic on this, if so please link it here. If you use a prebuilt, what have you done with it? If you built your own, what are your key components? Optional cooling if you want to add that My specs: CPU is overclocked to 4.4GHz and ram is at 1333MHz despite what this program reads. Cooling(optional) -3 200mm fans, 3 120mm fans -Noctua NHU-14S For CPU I look forward to seeing what you guys have=)
aabirin Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I'll put in a SSD when I get the money for it. Other than that, it runs skyrim pretty well, so I'm happy.
SquallPT Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 aabirin, your specs are very similar to mine
Darkwisdom Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 i3 3220 Asus P8H77-M LE (Terrible Motherboard, regret buying it for cheapness) GTX 670 4GB oc'ed to 7000mhz on mem and 1200 on core (it runs Extremely hot, but I only use it for skyrim normally on those settings) 8GB of 1600Mhz Corsair Vengeance RAM EVGA Supernova 750 G2 PSU 120GB Samsung 830 SSD 2TB WD Caviar Black HDD Case and Cooling - Silverstone Temjin TJ08-E Micro Atx Case - 180mm Penetrator fan on front, 120mm Silentwings on back - Gelid Tranquillo for CPU. My rig is very outdated by about 2 years now. I plan to update early next year; GTX 970 and i'll either get an FX 8350 or wait for intel's new offerings.

Nergui Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Here's my current machine: What program produces a readout like this?

What do you get in stuff like skyrim, massively modded etc? I'm likely go for something like a GTX 970.

What do you get in stuff like skyrim, massively modded etc? I'm likely go for something like a GTX 970. I don't own one but from what I've heard, most AMD rig builders go with an FX-8350 because they overclock well and can be cooled by air coolers. FX-9300 chips cannot handle air coolers, so liquid is your only conventional option. The few IT's that I've talked to said that even higher end coolers would cause the chip to throttle. 8350's can usually get to 4.4GHz pretty well and run at far lower temps. You shouldn't need a liquid cooler for a CPU to run at stock speeds, and the 9300 chips eat up as much power as a graphics card.

I'm thinking of an FX chip anyway, pretty cheap and despite what intel fanboys/girls will say, they give a really good performance/price ratio. I've normally stuck to intel chips, with expensive results in comparison to the mediocre performance I've gotten.
oblivionwithdongs Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Some of my components are ridiculous because i found a really cheap bundle deal for mobo/cpu/psu/ram that i couldn't pass up. Anyhoo here be some specs: CPU: i7 4790K clocked to 4.2ghz HSU: Noctua NH-U12S RAM: 16GB dual channel kingston hyperx beast with custom heatsinks GPU: MSI GTX970 4GB at standard clocks PSU: 1000W Superflower LeadeX Platinum (see what i mean by ridiculous components?) Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X-gaming 7 (i kinda hate 'gaming' stuff but again it was part of a bundle so whatever) SSD: Crucial MX100 256GB HDD: Seagate 3TB I think that's about it... Oh yeah, case: Raijintek Agos in white and fans: 1x 140mm 3x 120mm The Agos is a damn good case considering how cheap it is
afa Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 CPU: Intel I5 2500K GPU: AMD 6970 2GB RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600 MB: Asrock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen 3 HDD: 300GB (NO This is NOT a SSD!) Debating on when to upgrade the video card versus trying out an ITX build
Shizune Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Time for some comedy! Behold, the result of 3 years of not being able to upgrade my gaming rig due to life changing events and cobbling old spare parts together to keep it running. I lost a memory stick 3 months ago.. hence 3 gigs. Go ahead, laugh, tis okie :3 I do. Don't worry, you're not alone The whole rig except for RAM and vCard (which I upgraded three years ago to play Skyrim) is about 8 years old. I don't have enough money for an upgrade.. well, let's hope I'll make it up until TES VI. oh, and I have 3.12 GB of usable memory since my configuration is 4x1GB which is not recognized by P5LD2 motherboard.. but it doesn't support 2x2GB either On the other hand having to struggle with such outdated machine makes you appreciate small things more.

Cynical Misanthrope Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Asus Motherboard something. AMD quad core something else. 8 GB of Ram of also something something. 1 GB AMD Graphic card something, my weakest thing, will upgrade soon-ish. One small SSD (40GB) where I only store my OS and some various programs. 500 GB SATA HDD for games And one 2 TB SATA HDD for just storing stuff. The thing (case?) is a Cooler Master HAF 922 And a 700W power supply unit.
Nite_Star Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 My new rig, not much.. This has a modded Skyrim running it background with 198 mods running. so CPU is nice and cool.
