Your gaming rig?

[Godpoker]

Simple. Just post your computer statistics.

Use my form below if you like. Fill out as much or as little as you want.

Manufacturer: Gigabyte
Model: P35W v3
Cost: Around $1950
Size: 15.6in (20mm thick)
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 970M (6GB)
Processor: Intel i7 4710HQ (2.5Ghz - 3.3Ghz)
RAM: 16GB DDR3
Hard Drive(s): 128GB SSD / 1TB HDD

Bought it about three months ago and it's awesome. Never let me down and plays AAA games at Extreme/Ultra settings at 1080p 60fps easily. It just runs a little hot sometimes!

I guess this thread is for gaming laptops.

Ah, thanks. Didn't see that. Just had a quick glance before I posted but didn't really see anything.

If you want, it can be kept to laptops, or anything in general really.

Alternatively if mods think it should be closed then that's cool. :noworry:

Just realised this is nothing like the quoted thread. That thread is for posting photos of your desktop. I'm talking about specs of your computer. ^_^

My bad, there was a sticky here that was for posting pictures/specs of builds. Assumed it was that one.

From a lot of opinions here on sythe i ended up building this about 7 months ago:


Motherboard: MSI Z97-Gaming 5 ATX
CPU: Intel i7- 4790k
Ram: HyperX 4 x 4 gb 1600MHZ DDR3 2X4
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970
SSD: Crucial M500 Series 240GB SSD
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB Hard Drive - 7200RPM
Case: CM Storm Enforcer
PSU: Corsair CX 750W Modular Series

Absolute beast, and no hiccups yet.

I wanted to upgrade things but realized theres nothing i can really upgrade, a higher end CPU would serve no purpose and a higher end GPU would only help with 4K and i don't have a 4k monitor >_<

Damn, that's nice. I'm planning on getting a 4K monitor when the price comes down a bit. Maybe in Xmas sales.

You can upgrade to a 1440p monitor tho

There are always things to upgrade =P

For instance you could toss in a water cooling kit and crank up the clock speeds. Or upgrade your graphics card and switch more features on in games.

I'd need to get a bigger case to put water cooling in, those damn radiators are huge(Time to upgrade ). With my hyper evo 212 i OC'ed to 4.5GHz, not much but it's something with just air cooling. Maybe i'll do like the OP and wait till christmas to upgrade, hoping for some price drops.

 

Graphics card is the 280X

Graphics card is the 280X

Do you not massively bottleneck with that graphics card? Or am I thinking of an older version? Future kids says it's pretty low compared to your processor.

 

[SmokeHut]

I use a h100i for cpu cooling.

I did have it stable at 4,751mhz however backed off a bit to give it a longer life.. It's already over-volted enough!

A benchmark I did when I had 4,751mhz to play with a while back.

280x is a great card.

Don't know what you're talking about, the 280X was AMD's third best card until about a month ago...
