I love this stuff, but when I build a decent PC it lasts me too long. I built this one in 2016 and other than two case fans, it's been perfect.

I had to dig back in my 2016 emails to find this information. Not a gamer, so yeah only 2GB video card, don't laugh I'm/it's old!

Case	1 x NZXT Source 210 Mid Tower Case

I didn't build my current system (something I generally enjoy) since I got tired of trying to keep up with the latest and greatest parts and specs, so off to Dell I went a few years ago and bought a pretty nice system during a Christmas sale and used it as a base to customize.

Dell XPS 8930
Intel i5-9400
24GB of DDR4
500GB Samsung 970 EVO NVMe SSD
NVidia GeForce GTX 1650 Super

It's by no means the fastest system out there but it's served me well for three years and I plan on getting at least another three years out of it.

 

[SevenBizzos]

It's showing some age - especially in the drive, but still runs games easily.
i7-8700k
32GB RAM @ 2666MHz
GTX 1660ti
2TB HD
Unknown make Blu-Ray Optical Drive
42" Curved Samsung 1080 Monitor
Some kind of Logitech 5.1 surround

 

[AandPDan]

Nothing fancy with me.
AMD Ryzen 5600G
32GB RAM @ 3200MHz
500gb M.2 SSD
Running Kubuntu 22.04 LTS

My latest build: AMD Ryzen AM5 HTPC Build v1.5 (changelog: upgraded from a 2080 to a 3080Ti)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
RAM: Corsair DDR5-6000 megatransfers per second CAS Latency 36 RAM (still remember the DDR days chasing the lowest latencies, etc)
MoBo: MSI Pro X670-P WiFi
GPU: RTX 3080Ti for the power to push 4K@120Hz via a Belkin UltraHD HDMI 2.1 cable to a LG C9 OLED 65" TV. (Yes the cable is significant with this config, used a bottom bin HDMI cable and 4K@120Hz was not available in the options.)
PSU: SilverStone Technology HELA 850R Platinum Cybenetics Platinum 850W PCIe 5.0 Fully Modular ATX 3.0 Power Supply. (C&P from the website lol.)
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow Case

Computer has been rebuilt twice, now Antec case, Gigabyte motherboard, Athlon 3000G CPU...something inside must still be from the original Gateway I bought on a day-after-Thanksgiving sale years ago.

 

[dogememe]

My main PC is one I built recently combining some new parts with stuff I already had.

i5-11600K CPU, 32GB DDR4-3200 RAM, 1TB Samsung 980 Pro SSD for OS/Software/my stuff + 2TB Kingston NV1 SSD for games, Radeon RX 7900XT 20GB GPU, Antec AP201 case, Thermaltake GF1 850W PSU, running Windows 11 Pro. I work and game with a 27” Dell 4K60 monitor.

I have a secondary system that I rarely use based on an i3-10100 and Arc A380 GPU.

Then an old Dell Optiplex I got for pennies shoved full of components as my Plex server. Downsized from a custom made server I had with 24 bays. Just didn’t need all that lol, it took up way too much space.

Other ones include two test systems one in an open frame test bench type chassis and one based on an old Supermicro motherboard in some random cheap case. I use these mostly to test video cards as I repair them.

I have many more components probably enough to put three more builds together lol but my stash changes continuously as I upgrade or repair clients or friends or family’s systems.

Just changed out my case to a Thermaltake P3 TG Pro, an open-air type of case and a Deepcool LT720. It took me forever to assemble the case enough; it's like a box of legos. This is my first AIO cooler as well. After putting a friend's computer together that also had the NZXT Kraken, I really wanted one. Next step is getting a pcie riser cable to put the GPU horizontal.

I have a computer addiction-lol
But I do use them for business-no gaming though.
I just ordered some parts and will update when I get it done. I'm sure nobody cares but I
am doing things different these days.
I made myself wait 14 months this time and actually sent 5 out the other day as donations- they were refurbed
by me and really custom stuff. But those are the rules.

My parents never bought a computer as I furnished them too.
This time I am (assembling-key word) a basic workstation desktop- simply a business machine.
Gone are the best of the best as if you really sweat the specs you can pay double for a 3-5% gain.
is it worth that to me-Nope... I love to load up the memory but limited to 32GB as to many that is too
much but I got a deal - not an oil hoarding deal but a decent discount on everything which is surprising.

I paid big on one part, and I hope that makes it what I want it to be. No RGB and no cute stuff.
Taxes and shipping on the complete deal was $705. and that includes W10-PRO
With the OS I always just buy a key... saves you big time. Plus, as you all know W11 is a free upgrade.
Much restraint was used, and I always pay up on a PSU- always all Japanese capacitors. Junk here can cost you the machine.
This is also the first time I did not buy an aftermarket heatsink. Went OEM because I always wanted to machine my own later
on and that to me would be exciting.... trial and error of course.

No pics but currently have:

10600K OC'd to 4.5ghz
64gb DDR4 ram
AMD 6800XT
dual 27" 1440p 165mhz monitors



will probably upgrade when 15th Gen Arrow Lake cpus come out

Leaked benchmarks reveal major performance leaps for Intel's 15th-gen Arrow Lake chips

Even though we're nearly a year away from launch, leaks have emerged showing Arrow Lake's performance advancements over current-gen options. Thanks to Igor's Lab, we can start...

Not too bad. I average about 100-120fps in 1440p 165mhz playing COD: Warzone

not bad, not great

This is a very nice build and at a very good price. Purely on specs, I don’t think you could get a pre-built for this much. Component quality wise, it is a superior build.

I also have a Lancool 2 case and that thing is solid, but you don’t want to move it much. It’s a heavy case.

Yes definitely solid and heavy.
Many thanks guys...
