PC Specs - what are yours?

[Johell90]

You have so much diskspace there, I have 2TB at the moment and one drive seems to be dieing a slow death on me. I really could do with some more and a new one to replace it. Have you had any issues with the 6870 at all? That will be one hell of a set up when you have the two cards in and the SSD hard drive, I haven't considered one of those before but I know hosting companies use them so they much be very fast drives.

Well, I have that much space because I enjoy movies and music. Music don't use that much space usually, but I have all my music in loseless quality. Which takes quite a lot of space :-p I haven't had any trouble with my 6870 card, quite happy with it. Doing remarkable well compared to price, check out how it's doing on this benchmark for example; http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

I never realised its price until I seen that, that seems quite a bargain, is it one of the best cards out now at mid range for a good price? Those are the ones I tend to get myself when buying a new one. I wish I had one I had loads of trouble with the 5770, the screen going green now and then and crashing now and then too, the card I am borrowing off my partner is working well though and its the same one. I would get two cards but I tend to abuse my PC with gaming, like I will only play one big game a year on it or I will play Civilization and that's about it. I tend to fill my hard drive with PSD files from Photoshop mostly and backups of things I need. I've reformatted just recently so I haven't got a single game installed and the drives are nearly empty for now.

Its not a bad price for it.

It is but it deserves a better owner really, it never has its side panels on and the front of the case is off it too, I want an Antec 900 or the latest Antec for around £100 but cant afford it just yet.

That's something that comes with buying a gaming PC or building your own, you always want more, for example as much as I feel happy with it, I know that every week that goes buy some other newer and better part is out. When it comes to computer components the second you buy something no matter how good it is, there's something faster and better made. If I had £6000 right now and bought some great parts and built it, within a week or so it would be good still but something newer could replace it. It can become quite an addiction if you're wealthy enough, luckily I am not and only get a new one every two years on average and my old one either gets sold on for cheap towards the new one, my partner keeps it or it goes in the bedroom as an extra PC for backups

I understand what you mean I want to get myself a job so i can make more money and slowly build up enough money to by myself a good headset and mic for youtube then just save up for a good gaming that will come out by the time I need a new one.

Hey I know this is an old thread but Thought I'd share my PC setup, I'm quite proud of what I built hehe

I'm running:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2 Ghz
8Gb corsair DDR3 Ram
Radeon HD 6670 1 Gb Dedicated Ram
3.5Tb Harddrive total (1.5 internal 2tb external)
NZXT case (not sure the model)

thinking about upgrading the CPU fan so I can overclock during some games

Nice setup there, I havent used AMD in years now lol the last AMD chip I had was one of the first 64bit processors by them I love Corsair RAM too, that is all I ever buy when it comes to memory.
