Muh righ, with random upgrades from time to time.
Case: Bitfenix "Shinobi XL" Big Tower (size is everything!)
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth Z77
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.4GHz
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i (Overclocking potential is there, I'm just too lazy to try yet)
GPU: EVGA GTX 770 "Superclocked" (yeah right....)
RAM: Crucial BallistiX 16GB (4x4GB) (chose these because the latency on them for XMP was 8-8-8-24, and apparently that's pretty good).
PSU: XFX ProSeries Black Edition 850W (Had a somewhat faulty PSU before this, and some dude on the internet had nothing but praise to rain on this one)
SSD: Samsung Evo 840 120GB
HDD: 2x 2TB drives + 1x 1TB drive (5TB total)(I actually don't quite recall what types of drives they are, but iirc one of them are Seagate, and the two others are WD)
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate (ttly leggit edition, honest! Wondering about upgrading to Win10, but again, I'm lazy)
Fans: 7x fans in total (6 Noctua 120mm for front intake and CPU radiator, plus one in bottom for GPU. 1 Corsair AF 140mm outtake rear).
Monitor: BenQ GL2450HM 24" screen. It's by no means the best screen out there, but it displays a satisfying image, and that's about all I need. Been wondering about upgrading, but funds are limited, and my GPU needs upgrade.
Keyboard: Corsair Gaming K70 RGB LED (had a Corsair K90 with macro buttons earlier, which I sorta kinda smashed some keys on, so the E-button wouldn't sit properly. I got the K70 because I had no need for the macro buttons).
Mouse: Logitech Proteus Core
Optical: Samsung something with blu-ray support. I don't even remember the last time I used it, BUT I MUST HAVE IT!
This rig has seen continuous upgrading since 2010, and since the early beginnings I've sunk considerable money and time into this. While none of it is the same rig as it was since the beginning, I've always thought of it as a single computer. I've changed case 2 times, motherboard 2 times, PSU 2 times, keyboard 2 times, GPU 2 times. The OS has always been Win7 tho, but I guess that's about to change as well. Win8 was absolutely dreadful (had it on my laptop), but win10 is looking good.
I'm about to invest in a new GPU, but the local prices for GTX 1070 were higher than expected. Hoping they will go down soon, otherwise I have to consider switching to red team. Don't really want to, I prefer the performance of nvidia more than the lower price of Radeon. I've heard a lot of weird stuff about CrossFire/SLi, so not sure if I want to go for that.
I also have a server machine and a laptop, but I can't be bothered to write them up now, gonna have to be for a later post.
