CPU: QX6850 (liquid cooled)
GPU: Nvidia 8800 Ultra (liquid cooled)
RAM: 2GB OCZ Flex with 3-4-4-15 timings 800Mhz
mobo: ASUS Striker Extreme
HDD: RaptorX 150GB
PSU: 800 watt OCZ

I have a photo of it on and running if you want but its like a spaghetti junction inside XD

All i'm gonna say is everything but the case is good, but still for 400$ that isn't so bad, pretty good spec for that kind of price actually.

Doubled my ram last week, so..

Windows XP Home SP2
Pentium 4 CPU 3GHz
2048mb DDR RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS OC (AGP)

new computer:

cpu: amd athlon 64 x2 5000+ black edition (runs stock at 2.6ghz, overclocked to 3.1ghz)
ram: 2gb (2x1gb) ddr2 667
video: xfx nvidia geforce 8600gt 512mb
mobo: ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
psu: 580w
monitor: acer 20" widescreen
hdd: seagate barracuda 7200rpm 500gb

Hey peeps is this pretty good?


• AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 5600+
• 3GB of DDR2 memory
• LightScribe-enabled
• 400GB hard drive
• Burns DVDs and CDs
• 15-in-1 memory card slot

This desktop features advanced NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE graphics with TurboCache and 128MB dedicated memory, an addition to the main system memory, and 623MB total available video memory. This high-end memory is great for more demanding games or video editing.

It's $699.99 just for the tower (which is all I need) and considering the comp I have now was $1200 with everything and it sucks (256mb ram, 40gb hard drive (I added another one for music)...other shitty stuff) I think it's worth it but I could be wrong.  Oh and I'm not really a gamer.

After years of not upgrading, Neo finally has a new rig.

Processor: Intel Q6600(quad core) @ 2.4GHz
Graphics Card: BFG 8800GT 512MB PCI-E
Memory: 2GB DDR2 800Mhz
Motherboard: Intel DG33TL(it's shit, but that's what you get when you do retailedge)
Hard Drive: Seagate 320GB SATA 7200RPM
PSU: Rosewill 550 Watt
Monitor: Acer 22" Widescreen

It's all inside a Cooler Master CM690, which is the best case for just $50.

Old Rig(just for the hell of it):
Processor: AMD 64 3400+
Graphics Card: Nvidia 6600GT AGP
Memory: 1GB DDR PC3200
Motherboard: Asus shit.
Hard Drive: 160GB ATA
PSU: 350 Watt....came with the case.

I haven't set up my new one yet, but once I do, I expect to see a huge difference.

Nothing has been updated besides my Videocard

Pentium 4 3.2GHz (Overclocked to 3.85GHz)
2GB of some shitty dell ram (Runs as a CAS latency of 3 IIRC)
320GB of hard drive space.
nVidia Geforce 8600 GT 256MB (Pretty shitty card. Just save up a bit more cash and buy an 8800 rated card. 8600s truly are mid end. You can play the new games on the lowest settings!

Instead of getting a new socket 754 mobo I decided to get an LGA 775, so I can make further upgrades in the future. The fanless video card works just as well as my old 6600 GT AGP, but doesn't get as hot.

Processor: Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.6 GHz
Memory: 1 GB PC2-5300 (333 MHz)
Motherboard: Gigabyte P35-DS3L
Video Card: GeForce 7300 GS PCI-E Fanless
Power Supply: Coolermaster 500W

you live?!

Got no intertubes at my new place, so I have to use the library. Good thing I have a stacks of DVDs with games and movies to hold me over.

New card comes tomorrow, but here's the specs:

New:
Athlon 64 6000 x2 3ghz @ 3.2
K9N4 SLI Motherboard
2gb Muskin DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 in dual channel
Gigabyte Geforce 8800 GT 256mb

Old:
(x2)eVGA 7600 GT 256
21' Viewsonic G810
Creative Audigy 2 zs
160 GB seagate SATA
160 GB western digital IDE

The video card was 200$US, the motherboard 75$, ram 30$, CPU 170$, which shows that you can get a good PC upgrade with less than 500$.
If you went with an Athlon 64 4200 x2, a non sli mobo, and a 100$ 8600 GT, you could get a midrange system upgrade for under 300$!

Heres my resulting upgrade with my existing video cards, from left to right and top to bottom:
|Athlon 64 4000 & 1gb DDR 400 with one 7600  |2915|  ...with two 7600s   |4676|
|Above set up with one 7600                         |3310|  ...with two 7600s   |5933|

Speaking of 3dmark06....
I don't really like 3dmark that much, since scores vary a lot depending on your processor. I just like what I scored here, since my old computer had a score around 1000.

My specs are a few posts up. I only spent around $600 for my brand new rig.
Crysis looks nice. =)

got my 8800 WHAT A DIFFERENCE
