Who has a brag worthy machine?

[Vlunce Crociata]

I was just wondering who out there has strong machines that they do their gaming on. I'm content with my laptop, but it just gets things done, it can handle most games I want to play with the exception of a few straggling errors, but most games in order to run comfortably I need low graphical intensity. So lets hear about your power PC's, Elitists of the Escapist.
Posting System information is encouraged, but unnecessary, I am looking for your stories of the power of your computer, boasts about great feats of processing that you have undergone.

I am curious about what is the current average gaming PC is
I assume mine is about average:
OS: WIN 7
CPU:I5 750 (quad core)
RAM:12GB (2x2+2x4)
GPU:NVIDIA GTX 560TI
Screen: Samsung t220p (22" TN)
Keyboard:Logitech K260 (Wireless)
Mouse: Logitech M705 (Wireless)
Headphones/Speakers: Beyerdynamics DT990 \ Altec Lansing BXR1220

 

[rhyno435]

OS: Windows 7
CPU: Intel i5 3570K
RAM: 8GB
GPU: Nvidia GTX 670
Screen: I forget the exact model #, but it's a Samsung, 24" LED
Keyboard: Nothing to brag about
Mouse: Razer Deathadder
Headphones: Fatal1ty. Thinking about buying a new one.

EDIT: I guess I should talk about the limits I've pushed this bad boy to. Maxed Crysis with mods and most of the major tweaks used (4xAA, not 8x... Never 8x).

Maxed Crysis 2 with DirectX 11 enhancements and hi-res textures.

Currently playing Crysis 3 with everything maxed except AA, which is on SMAA 2x.

Those are really the big rig-pushers I think (not so much Crysis 2 as much as the other two).

Love my computer <3

 

[thomaskattus]

Mine is not brag worthy but it is serviceable.
OS Win 7 64 bit
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.20Ghz
RAM 4 GB
GPU Nvidia GeForce GT 630

I can run most games at a decent level with good FPS, although I really could use some more RAM and a better video card for newer games.

 

[Anathrax]

OS: Win 7 32 bit
CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 710 2.60 GHz
RAM: 3 GB DDR2
GPU: AMD Radeon 6670 HD

This thing played the crysis 2 beta and the planetside 2 beta without many problems. 5 or so years old, strong as a new computer. I love you, Solenoid.

Capacha: Very nice

It is...

 

[Pjotr84]

My system could use a bit of upgrading, although I can still run everything I want to play (Witcher 2 probably being the most demanding) on decent settings:

CPU: [email protected] (undervolted, running on stock speeds)
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
GPU: HD6770
OS: Windows 7 64-bit

 

[unindexedsearchengine]

OS: Win7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor : Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.00GHz (quad core)
RAM: 16 gb
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 570M

It's an MSI laptop. Less than a year old.
I call him Joey.

 

[Kaymish]

OS:windows 7 64 bit
CPU:AMD fx 8320 8 core running at 3.5GHz
RAM: 8 GbB DDR3
GPU: Sapphire HD 7970 Vapor X 3GbB
Screen: 1xLG 27" LED 1xPhillips 24" LCD
Keyboard: Logitech g110 it was cheap
Mouse: Microsoft somethingorother cheap too
Headphones/Speakers: a Logitech something 200 Watt RMS 2 satellite + 1 sub also cheap

also running off a SSD rather than HDD
850 whatt PSU
liquid CPU cooling

all of which makes it not half bad

i need to get crisis 3 on here but its pretty new so i haven't pushed the limits or over clocked it yet. runs pretty sweet at 20 degrees over the hot hot summer we have had also real quiet just got some niggling issues with a couple of fans

 

[AndrewF022]

CPU: i5 3570K
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x 4GB = 8GB DDR3
GPU: EVGA GTX670
OS: Windows 7 64-bit (does anyone still run 32 bit these days?)

SSD: Samsung 120GB
HDD: Seagate 2TB

This is a pretty recent build for me. So no plans to upgrade in the near future.
Maxes just about everything you will throw at it and maintain a solid framerate, although I am guessing (haven't tested) it'll still struggle with Witcher 2's ubersampling, Crysis 3 with AA cranked up and Arma II/III if you push the view distance to something ridiculous haha.

 

[Ziame]

"The Crate"

Win 7 Professional 64
AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8GHz
GeForce GTS 250
8GB Kingston DDR2 (yay for lifetime warranty)

It's like uh, 4 years old? I haven't had any problems with it, apart from Witcher 2 (but I dislike that game anyway).

That's a much better format and much more direct and thus I shall use it, good job kind sir or madam.
I'll also post my current pathetic build and the build that shall be constructed upon getting my god damn tax rebate or a new job.

Current
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
CPU: Pentium Dual-Core E5700 @ 3.0GHz with stock cooling
RAM: 3GB DDR3
GPU: ATI Radeon HD4770 512MB GDDR5
Screen: Crap
Mouse: Crap but trusty and hard to break
Headphones: £120 pair of Sony things from a few years ago, exquisite sound quality. Speakers are a bit naff but they endure.
PSU: 350W off the shelf piece of crap, hence the lack of overclock.

Soon to be replacing my radiator
OS: Windows 8 Pro
APU: AMD FX-8350 Octo-Core @4.0GHz (there shall be overclocking done at a later time with some form of liquid cooling)
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance
GPU: Crossfire PowerColor Myst HD 7870 (tahiti baseed variants)(£180 for a 79XX GPU? sign me up!)
Screen: Crap until more cash accumulates
Mouse: Crap but trusty and hard to break, seriously I've had no issues with my mouse, can compete just fine even though it's generic, the back/forward browser buttons make great melee/grenade inputs
Headphones: same old ehadphones they're glorious
PSU: Corsair CX750W

 

[spartandude]

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.20Ghz
RAM 4 GB
GPU Nvidia GeForce GT 630

dude that is more than serviceable. i mean look at the first set on specs i gave. that is playable for most games these days just.

 

[Octorok]

I just upgraded in November, after 5 years using a fairly crap home PC that I'd bodged with some extra RAM and an actual GPU. Hence the slight overspending.


OS: Win7 64-bit
CPU: Intel i5 3570k (4 cores) @ 4.4 GHz
RAM: 8GB of RAM @ 1600 MHz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 680 2GB
Screen: Dell U2312HM LED 23" (1920 x 1080)
Keyboard: Microsoft Sidewinder X4
Mouse: Logitech G400/Razer Vespula mousepad
Headphones/Speakers: Logitech Z523 Speakers (midrange) / Sennheiser PC350 Headset w/ Asus Xonar DGX 5.1 Soundcard (and a Creative Fatal1ty spare set from my old rig)
Storage: 3TB HDD Space, 256GB SSD.
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth Z77
Power Supply: Akasa Venom Voodoo 750W PSU
Cooling Unit: Akasa Venom Viper CPU Cooling
Case: Corsair Carbide 300R w/ extra Corsair fans attached (crazy quiet, they seem to run on magic)

It's a great rig, but here in Europe this stuff don't come cheap. We pay a decent markup for this kind of tech, so I ended up overspending, particularly since I didn't build this myself. I spent ~£1500 on the tower, and ~£500 on everything else. Still. It should last me years with no upgrades and regular cleaning, so it should end up paying off.

 

[Joccaren]

Mine isn't really brag worthy anymore. Need better graphics card now, I'd count mine as a little above average though.

OS: Windows 7 64 bit
CPU: Intel i7 2600K OCd to 4.8Ghz
RAM: 12Gb Kingston HyperX
GPU: 2 * Nvidia 560Ti 2Gb in SLI
Screen: Yamakasi Catleap 2560*1440 primary and a secondary screen of an old IBM L191p at 1280*1024 for Skype and such.
Keyboard: Some old IBM Keyboard. been meaning to get a mechanical, but I've got bigger things to spend my money on ATM.
Mouse: Steelseries Sensei Professional
Headphones/Speakers: Headphones; Logitech Headphones, no idea what model. Speakers; Corsair Sp2500 speakers.
HDD: 2 * 300Gb SATA drives, 1 * 2Tb portable USB drive, 1* 500Gb portable USB drive [Both of which are permanently plugged in] and a 256Gb SanDisk SSD.
Liquid Cooling; Corsair H60

 

[Playful Pony]

I have no idea if my machine is bragworthy! I just get my friends to help me put it together, just like I did my last one, and I tell them I want it to be pretty decent. Hopefully it is X3. It seems to be able to run most games pretty well, all of the games I regularily play can run on full settings no problem.

Is it any good? D=

OS:Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1075T Processor (6 CPUs), 3.0 GHz
RAM: 8192MB
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series
Screen: Some LG widescreen 21" (not great, 6-7 years old)
Keyboard: Lotitech G110
Mouse: Logitech G9
Headphones/Speakers: Logitech Steel Series/Some Logitech speakers...

I'm noticing a pattern X3

 

[ItsNotRudy]

OS:Win 8 Pro 64-bit

Screen: LG W43 Seroes 23" (1920x1080)
Keyboard: Microsoft Ergonomic 4000
Mouse: Logitech Performance MX
Headphones/Speakers: Logitech Speakers

 

[TheHmm]

Well, mine isnt super powerfull or anything... BUT its made to be as silent as can be when not running a game...

The 2TB HDD is the culprit of the most noise :/

 

[zumbledum]

CPU- I7 @ 4ghz (water cooled)
Ram - 16gb
GPU - nvidia 680
ssd -180 gb
Hd - 3 TB

it was brand new last christmas a little present to myself because im worth it

mate that is a pretty nice machine i never knew there were 6 core processors out there i thought it was 2,3,4, and 8 cores anyway that is only a little lower on the scale than mine and with out spending absurd amounts like with 2 processor mobos and crossfireing $1000 graphics cards and cooling it all with phase change coolers and overclocking to hell that's the best you are gonna get
and logitech is nothing to be ashamed of it does the job on the cheap so when it breaks the next year its easy to replace i swear by cheap and replaceable
