The "Post Your Gaming Rig" Thread

Are you that guy on APB who insisted that tri sli on 3 580's isn't a colossal waste of money?

I've never played APB in my entire life. If you like to benchmark its not a waste of money at all...

[Snarf]

Is benchmarking a sport now?

I never suggested it is...

Here's Mine:





I have the Sandy Bridge 2600K Proc OC to 4.5 GHz
The corsair cpu liquid cooled heatsink, meh
8 gig corsair memory OC to 1600MHz
Nvidia GTX 580 SLI

On the desk I have a:

27" LED-LCD Monitor and a 22" one in portrait mode
I believe its the Logitech G5 keyboard
Razer Mako sound system
Razer Megalodon for headphones
and then a Logitech gaming mouse, I forget the model number
and a Razer gaming surface[/list]

Exactly the same as me.

So I am convinced that Butane is the only one in this thread who should be allowed to buy parts for his computer.

HOLY SHIT. It's funny cause in 4 years I could spend 1000 dollars and have a better rig.

I'm running a GTX280 with a Q6600 and four gigs of DDR2 1600 ram I payed 700$ for in 2007 when this shit was top of the line.

Actually I've still yet to find a game that I don't get max FPS on (other than crysis, which sucked noodles. Why do idiots spend so much money?

I mean, I'm about to upgrade but I've yet to see a benchmark where a GTX570 didn't get full marks, and I need a new processor and ram for Photoshop because they turned photoshop into an unstoppable monster that eats resources and leaks memory... but buying intel EXTREME and buying multiple cards at once? The entire advantage of SLI'ing is that you can buy one card and then buy a matching one when they get cheaper, if you're going to buy two why don't you just buy one card, save the money on the second for the next generation to come out?
