Lets see who has the most powerful gaming computer in here ;)
ill go first; i have a 2009 HP laptop that has 4 gigs of ram ;D WHO CAN TOP THAT?
old AMD AM-socket-based build in an even older IBM server case. made the initial build in 2005-2006 or something.
now installed: 1st gen Phenom quadcore + GTX 560 + 4GB RAM
it's not much, but it has served me a LONG time. only mid-range GPU swaps every now and then, and i can still play games on high settings, but with these parts this old'n'trusty workhorse has come to an end of the road. considering laptop next.
... Not the best but does the job.
I have spent £1400 on it which is around $2000 or less.
From 2009......
My PC originally had the specs:
AMD Phenom II X3 720BE
Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H motherboard
Sapphire Radeon HD 5770
SATA 500Gb WD hard drive
8GB DDR 1600 RAM
DVD Burner
Diablotek 700w PSU
64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium OEM
The total cost of the above amounted to around ~$750 including shipping. I think they costed more when I specced them separately at newegg.com. But once I put them in the cart, the discounts were applied.
I used my old Apevia (formerly Aspire?) X-Cruiser case, monitor and HDTV, keyboard n mouse, a spare 500Gb SATA hard drive, Logitech Z-2300 2.1 speakers, Wifi adapter.
Later, I swapped in a:
Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti - $219
Coolermaster 750w PSU - $80
Foxconn minitower case - $20
AMD FX-8350 CPU - $200
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 motherboard - $70
Total spent on my PC including the original 2009 specs: $1339
I built mines in 2011
AMD phenom II 965
cooler master 212+
GTX460 1GB 256 bit ver SLI
8 GB of DDR 3 1600 ram
msi MB
cheap 700 watt PSU(cant even remember the brand)
1TB samsung HD
2 free old HD from old computers(free)
old cd drive(free)
cheep ass case (once again don't even know the brand name)
some cooler master sickle flow fans.
So yeah i cant remember the exact amounts i paid for everything but this computer cost me in total somewhere $600 and $700. It has served me well for i wanna say 2 almost 3 years and still is. Some old parts but I OC'ed the cpu to 3.8GHZ and the GPU's 850 on shader and 1700 on the memory which gave massive performance increases. 460's overclock very well. As for gaming i still max most games at 1080p and I don't sacrifice much in terms of quality to get good frames for the ones i cant usually. I know for sure though that i will have one of the weakest rigs here which boggles my mind. This thread makes me fell like a bum gamer though compared to some of the other builds here. Still i think i did well for a poor college kid.
I built mine at the beginning of the summer.
i5-3570k @ 4.2 Ghz
Twin Frozr 7950
Gigabyte Z77-UD3H mobo
8 GB of ram
liteon cd drive
120 GB SSD
1 TB HDD
I believe the PSU is 620w, and I know it's a Seasonic
It's all inside a NZXT Phantom 410.
I think after buying my monitor, mouse, and keyboard it ended up costing right around $1500.
Ugh, lemme see if I remember correctly.
*nope but checking the pcs specs, after failed rememberance*
-----------------------------------------------------------
Intel 3930k
Asus Sabertooth X79 Mobo
Corsair H80 cooler
3x WD Caviar Black 2 TB HDD
Samsung 840 Pro 512 gig SSD
16 Gigs of Corsair Vengence Ram @ 1600MHz
Asus Xonar ST audio Card
EVGA Geforce 670 FTW
----------------------------------------------------------
Price: 4000$ but since my job shells out for half of it due to certain specs had to be reached I payied around 2000$ Overkill for gaming pretty much, but then again only thin in it ment for gaming might be the ram and the GPU.
