My PC Gaming Rig

Since I said in my first blog post that I am primarily a PC gamer, I thought I'd post the specs of my rig.

  • Case: Ultra Grid - I love this case. It's got lots of room to pack stuff in, but the front is nice and clean.
  • Motherboard: Intel BOXDP55WB - Not a hardcore gaming mobo, but a nice solid product.
  • CPU: Intel Core i7 860 - Plenty fast for me.
  • Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 - EVGA I think. Plays Dragon Age and Starcraft II just fine thankyouverymuch.
  • RAM: Corsair XMS3 8GB DDR3 - Gotta love 64bit OSes.
  • Sound Card: SoundBlaster x-Fi.
  • HDD: Seagate 160GB SATA x2 in a RAID0. No data on this box, so I'm not concerned about the higher failure possibility.
  • Power Supply: ThermalTake 1000W
  • Speakers: Logitech Z680 THX 5.1
  • Monitor: Asus VH242H - 24-inch widescreen.
  • Keyboard: Microsoft Natural 4000
  • Mouse: Kensington Expert Mouse - Actually a trackball. Yes, I game with a trackball.
  • Optical Drive: A generic DVD-RW of some kind
  • OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64

I've also got a couple of other random peripherals that I use on a regular basis.

  • WolfKing Warrior - A round gaming keyboard that I use for role-playing games
  • Logitech G13 Gaming Keyboard - Haven't played with this too much yet.
  • Microsoft Webcam
