    CPU: Core i3 2.93 Ghz

    Memory: 4GB 1333mhz DDR3
    HD: 500Gb Western Digital
    GPU: Raedon HD5700
    Mobo: Gigabyte H55M-S2H

    I was thinking about upgrading it soon though. It still runs games like DiRT 2 and Crysis at a decent FPS but would like to upgrade it further. Any suggestions?

    lol i'll just leave it here =)  Core 2 Duo E6550 + GF 8800GTS (a small one with 300+ mb)+ 2GB RAM + 1 half dead IDE HDD and 2 1TB ones. Dust included and i don't bother closing it in fact i lost a panel somewhere. as you can tell I'm a console gamer but witcher 2 runs on this BEAST normally on very low settings in 720p.

    @CaLe: lol - You posted in a thread called 'Share your rig', there's no place for 'cute PCs' in here!
     
    I'd say you're rocking a:
    Cooler Master 850 PSU
    HD6990 GPU
    Asus Motherboard with a P67 chipset so either an i5 or i7 CPU
    A Venom HSF
    OCZ SSD drive
    WD Green HDD
    1x Optical drive
    2 sticks of Corsair Vengeance ram 
     
    I have no idea what case that is!
     
    Did I get any of those guesses right???

    @theguy: While many of us on here favour the DIY approach to high performance hardware, I think that if you're happy with what you have and the price you paid for it then be happy and don't worry about other people's opinion. Looking past the badge and at the spec it seems like a well spec'd PC and should keep you happy for some time yet.

    Intel dual core T5550 1.83ghz with GMA 950 integrated graphics, 2gb ram, Windows 7, media keys that don't have drivers, a Bluetooth button but no Bluetooth, and Wifi 802 point something. With a screen that is 1280*800 and I don't know how many inches that is on. It's a laptop, and the battery hasn't worked for over two years but there's no point replacing the battery as the computer hardware is too power-inefficient. Also, it's plastic white because in 2008 when I was 16 I liked the look of the plastic macbooks, but it's not a macbook it's an acer. Despite the list of shame this laptop has been wonderful, and I put in a new 250gb HDD in January. It runs San Andreas at max everything. Also, it does support 64bit but it came with a 32bit version of Vista so I thought it was only 32bit and put that version of Windows 7 on it. The thing that bothers me most is the file browser performance in Windows, which is instant on my 64bit install of Ubuntu. But I'm upgrading soon coz' I want a proper PC for productivity and entertainment.

    Good to know you are getting most out of your older hardware. I think that is one big advantage of PC gaming. You make stuff work even on older hardware. 
     
    The upgraded PC will blow you away though!

    @Ghooble: I recommend Death Adder 100%. Its a fantastic mouse, very comfortable, and easy on the hand. I would warn you to reconsider buying Lachesis in case you are planning on it. Lachesis is not a bad mouse, but its design for someone who prefers the claw grip. I found it to be extremely uncomfortable, and I have used all kinds of mice, including the $10 ones from Wal-Mart.  
     
    DeathAdder had a very solid feel, and great when playing shooters.

    That is Lachesis. Unless you have baby hands, I wouldn't recommend it. :)

    I'm not happy with the performance of the Radeons though, and have to stay on old drivers, new ones always give 100% load bug on either card. Motherboard is partially broken because I didn't yank out the DSL modem last summer, and one lightning strike was a bit too close... :/
    Oh well I'm gonna hang on until next group of videocards are released and then decide what to go for. Probably I7-2600K at least.

    I love this thing to death. So far I've been able to max out every single game I've thrown at it @ 60 FPS+, Witcher 2, Bad Company, ME2, Dead Space 2, New Vegas. I know it won't last long, so I'm enjoying it while I still can. :)

    If the GPU wasn't so loud and warm, I think  this could last 2.5 more years.

    I built this PC in May 2009 and it's still running like a beast. I plan on upgrading the GPU within the next few months to a 6970 or 6990 for BF3 and Skyrim. Anyone know when the best time would be to pick one up? Don't new card usually drop in October? I'm hoping the prices will go down on those then.

    Mobo: ASUS P6T Deluxe

    CPU: Intel Core i7 CPU 920 (Overclocked to 3.2GHz)

    Cooling: Cooler Master V8

    GPU: ATI Radeon Sapphire HD 4890 Factory Overclocked

    Q9400, 4GB RAM, 8800GT. 
    Nothing fancy, but gets the job done. It's been almost 4 years since I got my 8800GT, and despite that it's handling things pretty well. I've been itching to upgrade but I just couldn't justify it with no games really giving me a tough time running well, but I might finally give in and upgrade it later this year for BF3 and DX11. Maybe an HD 6950 or a GTX 570, or whatever else there is at the time. We'll see.

    In the process of upgrading my PC.

    Motherboard: Nvidia nforce 780i.

    CPU: Intel Pentium Quad Core Q6600 2.4 GHZ

    GPU: Nvidia 580gtx.

    RAM: 8GB ddr3 1600 mhz memory

    Hard Drive: 500 Gb slow ass Western digital hard drive.

    Obviously I still have my CPU and hard drive left to upgrade before being done and then I think I can run BF3 with reasonable settings, which is really the main goal with this upgrade.

    Also if anyone have any reasonable suggestions for a pretty powerful CPU i'd appreciate it.

    So its been a few weeks I did this but anyway, a "minor" comp upgrade: 

    • New Case, Fractal Design R3 XL Titanium. Best case I've ever owned (previous owner of the HAF 932)
    • New PSU, Seasonic Gold 750W
    • New CPU cooler, Corsair H60, best price/performance no-maintenance liquid cooling.
    • Planar SA2311W 120Hz 3D Monitor, 1920x1080 
    With the three first purchases, my comp is now as quiet as the xbox-slim that's sitting right in front of me, without sacrificing any of the cooling the old case offered with all its 20cm fans. Now I can work and game in peace.  
    As for the 3D, it's simply incredible. It works perfectly on games that are built with it in mind, as well as older games that came out ages ago, that are now playable in a whole new light. Batman simply looks stunning in 3D, as well as BFBC2.   

    Hardware that I've had for a while:    

    • Astro A40 with Mixamp, dual optical (dolby digital/headphone) link with Xbox and PC 
    • 5TB total storage 
    • HT Omega Claro Halo DH/DDL Sound Card  
    • Microsoft X4 Keyboard, Logitech G500 Mouse   
    • TrackIR 5 Head Tracking   
    • 50Mbps connection  
    • Corei7 920 overclocked to 3.6Ghz  
    • ASUS P6T Motherboard  
    • EVGAGTX 570 superclocked 
    • 12GB DDR3 RAM

    Hehe, I'm afraid the setup will stay in house as a secondary for later. Just in case for LAN parties and such. ;)

    I'm looking to begin building a PC.   I'm just looking for input from people with more experience than myself when it comes to building gaming PCs. What I'm looking to get is as follows:
     
    Intel i5 2500K
    GeForce GTX 560
    4 gigs of DDR3 1333 (starting off but eventually will have 8 gigs.)
    650W power supply (already own it)

    That's what I'm looking to put into it. I'm not sure on the mobo just yet. Will take suggestions but I'm not looking to spend more than $220 per part.  I'm just looking for something that I can play games on now and in the near future. Thanks.

    that looks like a nice set up but I can't help you with the mobo since I've always been an AMD kinda guy.
