Post Your Gaming Rig Specs

[Decroxx 815]

Interesting idea to have 3 separate SSD's. I have to wonder if it's really worth it though? I only have MP games or ones I plan on playing a lot on the SSD, everything else gets shifted to the mechanical drives.

[toddl3y 4]

Yeh, built it myself, used to be a store manager at a PC shop so got it all cheap... no Decroxx, not worth having 3 separate ssd's only benefit is faster load/boot times... id rather sell 2 of them off and buy a 2tb just for my games.

[MasterShrive 2,015]

Ah nice work. You'd be all over this then. How often do you go about upgrading?

[toddl3y 4]

only as often as needed, im wanting to upgrade case cpu and motherboard in the coming weeks... much better and faster stuff out there... ive had this machine close to 4 years now tho

[MasterShrive 2,015]

Yikes. I didn't think it looked that old. How goes the G19? I've got a gen-1 G15 that's still going strong - as much as I keep looking around for upgrades I just can't justify putting this one aside until it actually stops working. Same with my G5 mouse. Both have seen a few thousand hours worth of gaming.

[toddl3y 4]

G19 is good, waste of $300 when i bought, but eye candy was the thing back then lol.. plus i can watch youtube on my keyboard while gaming haha

[MasterShrive 2,015]

LOL. I wouldn't have even thought of doing that. I've noticed Logitech have gone away from including screens on their keyboards these days, instead offering an app for a phone which displays all the usual data. I think I'd still prefer a screen on the device, but by the time I go to upgrade that might not be an option.

[Decroxx 815]

Oh man, a G19 is the stuff! Mine survived a bit of a soaking in some beer (during an end of year celebration, if my rather hazy recollection of that night serves)

The feet on mine are starting to peel Need to replace the adhesive, but I refuse to let it die as well!

They don't make things like they used to *mumble grumble etc.*

Yeah, I saw them. I've got some adhesive double sided tape, I'll try that first otherwise I'll grab some.

 

Handy that there's spare parts at least!

bp, thats the motherboard i wanna upgrade to.. much nomnom.. this rampage is utter shit!

[Duckz 474]

I just can't let go of the X58 platform just yet, without trying to push a bit more out of it.

 

Swapping out my i7-920 for a Xeon X5660 which I plan to OC to 4GHz+, and also picked up the exact same kit of RAM to what I already have, except 1600MHz, instead of the 2000MHz that I currently have, to take me to 12GB of RAM. Picked up both of these delivered for a bit under $100.

[MasterShrive 2,015]

Nice. Good luck mate. That is quite the performance stretch. Meanwhile, I'm thinking about overclocking my current i7 4770K, just to get a little more out of her. And perhaps a GPU upgrade as we by year's end... but I don't know if I can justify that one yet.

[Duckz 474]

Just finished swapping out my i7-920 for the Xeon X5660, and doubled my RAM to 12GB.

Even though it's at stock, I'm liking the temperatures on air. Max temps are from a half hour run of Prime95.

Oh very nice. I'm starting to get the upgrade bug again too.

[PistolKnight 554]

I have started researching a mini form factor PC - I still want a full size graphics card though.

[MasterShrive 2,015]

It's not the size that counts mate.

[Decroxx 815]

And thus marks the millionth time Shrive has said that, averaging out to nearly 4 an hour over his lifetime so far.

 

OT: That is a nice build, there's nothing quite like booting it for the first time either.

I was wanting something that is less obtrusive on the desk but still can provide a great visual experience with the current crop of games as well as what is coming in the next year or so.

I bought this about 18 months ago, thinking I'd do the same, and it has everything I was looking for in Mini-ITX, but I've still never gotten around to it.

[PistolKnight 554]

Were you planning on just transitioning parts you have (with a new mobo) or are you starting again?
