Hello all, Emer here!
As I get more and more into PC Gaming, I have been wondering what hardware you all use! Feel free to post pictures, links to products (Please only link products that you are using or planning to use!), or simple lists!
Here is my current setup:
I would love to hear or see what you use! Once I have my setup fully installed (and once my gaming room is finished), I will post a few images for you all. So let's have it! What do you use?

As you can see some pretty old parts, but it runs most (if not all) games I care about on highest so it's cool for me
Asus laptop with a full keyboard (including a num pad) and a 17.5 inch (44.5 cm) monitor (yes, my laptop is large).
Quad core @ 1.6 GHz 1.6GHz
6.0 GB Ram
It has sweet gaming graphics and high performance everywhere except for its disk data transfer rate, which is just above average.
I run Skyrim at highest settings plus some 'enhancement' mods.
I use a wireless Microsoft mouse (yes, I need a mouse upgrade), and a wireless Logitech headset (quite pleasant).
(My computer is nearly 3 years old now - but it was near the top of the food chain back in its 'heyday'.)
In the process of building myself a new one right now. All the parts are ordered, just waiting for them to finish coming in.

Nvidia GTX 780 by Gigabyte
2x8GB Memory
250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD
1TB Western Digital HDD (for storage)
Thats all the important parts. I did order 2 new 27" Monitors and a Cooler Master Storm Series keyboard and Mouse set. Hoping to get everything delivered by Friday so I can get it built after work and start all the installations and be back to playing by Saturday.

------
Nothing super special, in other words, but at the resolution I play at (1920x1200) I can run most things on full settings without lag.
Dell XPS 8700 English Desktop, i7-4770
It includes a rather weak Graphics card compared with the rest of the system, but it can pretty much run anything on the highest settings with 60 fps.
Here is my set up:
ASUSTeK Computer INC.
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 2668 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 24.0 GB
Video Card:
NVIDIA® GeForce GTX260 896M / NVIDIA® GeForce GT220 1G I have 2 computer monitors hooked up. One is 27 inches Dell and the other one is a smaller HP. IHome wireless mouse. This computer is old old old LOL. It is about 5 years old now but it still runs everything very well. However, I do need a graphic card update but can't afford it yet. Waiting to get a job. |
Jesus, man, how much did you drop on that? I'm guessing close to $2,000 (not counting tax)? You're gonna have a lot of fun with a rig like that.
I'm building a PC now as well, but my budget's a bit more modest...
All told, the components ran me around $650-700 before tax. Also gonna get a 24" Acer monitor, Logitech G400s mouse, and CM QFR mechanical keyboard. So after those peripherals, the OS itself, and tax, I'm looking at around $1000.
For sound, I've got a pretty decent set of speakers already (as far as 2channel speakers go) and a set of Audio-Technica A700 headphones.
All together, it's nothing fancy, but it shouldn't have any trouble running modded Skyrim on upper display settings. Which is about the most intensive activity I plan on using it for. Will probably add a SSD in a couple of months, once my wallet recovers a bit.
