Post your PC builds here!

[SullyQuindarius]

Because why not? I haven't seen one of these threads yet.

I'd post my build to start it off, but ATM it's a growing stockpile of shiny things on my desk.

 

[Rear_Intruder]

i76800K @4.3GHz
16GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM ( page file on SSD set to 19GB)
12GB TITAN X
M.2 SSD
display 2560x1440
-------------------------------
I know where this is going so in addition.
------------------------------------------------------
Internet is 37 download about 2.5 upload
I get good FPS in the game 30-45FPS and always have done.
My GPU runs at 30%
RAM runs at 5-7 GB mostly

 

[Takeiteasy]

Mine is slightly better than the above:

i76801K @4.4GHz
17GB DDR5 3201MHz RAM ( page file on SSD set to 20GB)
13GB TITAN XI
M.3 SSD
display 2561x1441
-------------------------------
I know where this is going so in addition.
------------------------------------------------------
Internet is 38 download about 2.6 upload
I get good FPS in the game 31-46FPS and always have done.
My GPU runs at 31%
RAM runs at 6-8 GB mostly

But seriously:

Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz
RAM
16.0GB DDR4
Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. MAXIMUS VIII HERO
Graphics
1920x1080 Samsung monitor
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (NVIDIA)
Storage
476GB NVMe Samsung SSD 950 M.2

I hardly play but the little I have played I've been in the 25-30 quite comfortably.

Although I laughed,
If it was better some figures would be lower.
This puts you at number 2 in the charts LOSER

I hope that hurts!

 

[Takeiteasy]

I didn't want to ruin the running gag.

 

[Rear_Intruder]

Am I missing the joke again?

It is with English no being my first language.

 

[Takeiteasy]

The funny thing is I built my "great rig" to ensure I don't need to spend another penny on it for years.... I now want a 4k monitor...

lol no, i just increased all the numbers by one, even if they were wrong. It was just funnier that way. For me any way :P

Honest question: Would buying my components and jamming them together be cheaper than buying an off-the-shelf unit where someone else builds it and the company has the mass buying power I don't?

A good question, and as far as I know, the answer nowadays is "It depends". It seems that lower end systems are actually cheaper to buy premade, while higher-end still benefits from DIY discount.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, I forgot, GPU crisis. Could be cheaper to buy premade regardless of your price range RIGHT NOW. Unless you want some real specific setup and would end up swapping out parts from a premade anyways.

Many thanks for your expiriance, I'm prolly gonna aim for low end. 1050'll do me okay as long as it has enough RAM so i'll go shopping on the net once i've saved up :)

 

[marcsand2]

I have nothing to brag about:
i6700K @4.2GHz
32GB DDR4 2166MHz RAM
13GB 1080Ti
PCi x4 Optane
displays 32"@2560x1440, 2x 24"@1920x1200, 24"@1920x1080

I now want a 4k monitor...

I actually never noticed it, but 4k, 3840x2160 has the same amount of pixels as my 3 main displays

 

[Injustice]

So... My rig is very old now. Built her in 2010.

i7-920 Bloomfield at 2.66
8GB DDR3 1333
27 inch Display
720 BG western digital HD
2GB Radeon X2 video card

ATM it's a growing stockpile of shiny things on my desk.

A bunch of shiny things on a desk do look like a nice setup for the beginning of a PC build.

Presently, I'm currently using the following self built PC:

Case : Thermaltake Suppressor F51 Power Cover Edition
CPU : AMD FX 8350
Cooler : Corsair H100i v1
Ram : 32gb DDR3 AMD Gamer Series 2400
GPU : 2x Asus Strix 480 OC 08gb
Boot : 256 SSD
Storage : WD Black 6TB
Display : Vizio 32" 120hz 1080p
Fl Stick : Thrustmaster T16000M

I generally get between 15-30fps on SC currently, but at certain places or when around Reclaimers that dips to around 10fps. Which is playable as far as doing basic cargo runs goes, but any sort of fighting in the PU is out of the question.

I'm hoping that by the end of the year I'll be able to upgrade to a much better system that will handle SC better.

Just a heads up as a means to help get great frame rates from a very popular Star Citizen content creator.

I'm curious how many people actually use wireless, backlighted keyboards. Lighting seems to me would be extremely useful.

I'm curious how many people actually use wireless, backlighted keyboards. Lighting seems to me would be extremely useful.

While not wireless I have come to love the RGB on my G810 spectrum. I used to and still think RGB is somewhat over done often. But it actually CAN be useful. I have profiles that run specific to each game and will actually do things like change the color of the key(s) when I'm low on ammo, or something is or isn't activated. I dig it.
