re: Gaming PC's

In that same vein, I'm wondering what types of monitors ya'll are using.  My old 27" Samsung 1080p monitor bit the bullet, and I'm in the market.  If anyone uses a 4k or 1440p monitor, I'm especially curious about that. 

As for my rig, it's aging but holding strong:

i5 2500k (not yet OC'd) on a Asus Z68 Deluxe board

16gb corsair ram

MSI Golding Gaming GTX 970 

EVGA 1200 watt PSU for MOAR POWA!

re: Gaming PC's

I've had the same system for 4 years now and still running strong.

i5 2500k

8gb ram

geforce 550ti (used to be a 680 but I sold it during a gaming slump and now I wish I didn't)

I used to have 2 monitors, an HP 27" 1440p and a crappy Acer 23" 1080p but the 27" fried recently and I've been too lazy to replace it so I've been *gag* solo monitoring for the last 2 months. I dearly miss having dual monitors so I really need to become un-lazy and get a new one. Nowdays I could get a pair (or borderline 3) of 1440p monitors for the price I paid for my old one 4 years ago.

re: Gaming PC's

Mine is about a year old and put together on a tighter budget then I would have liked, but haven't had any issues with it. It's my first AMD machine and designed first as a home lab/dev/work environment and then for gaming. The case keeps it pretty quiet and when I actually hear the fans kick up, I know the cats have been hanging out too close to the PC and it's time to blow any dust out/clean filters/etc. :P

I plan to add another 16 GB, for virtualization, and a sound card for audio production at some point. Otherwise, I have yet to really stress the machine in my day to day use, so this should keep me for a few years with minor tweaks along the way.

Video: XFX Black Edition Double D R9-280A

Monitor: Acer G246HL 24-Inch

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB)

 

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P

Processor: FX-8320E FX-Series 8-Core

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl 

HDDs: Crucial 240 GB SSD (OS), WD 1 TB data

PSU: Rosewill CAPSTONE Series 750W 80 Plus Gold

re: Gaming PC's

I've got no complaints. For my purposes, I have yet to really stress it. My uses are generally gaming, streaming media and running up to three virtual machines concurrently. I'll run more VMs once I get around to adding RAM and it is convenient that the motherboard supports 32 GB at a reasonable price. :) 

I don't tend to play the "latest and greatest" games so SWTOR and ESO are probably the most demanding of what I play. Neither of them really puts any noticeable stress on the CPU so I wouldn't consider it to be a bottleneck on performance.

On the motherboard, any complaint I really have are not the fault of the motherboard. The way things are mounted in the case I have, the bottom PCIx slot is unusable. Like I said though, not the motherboard's fault and it has been fine. I've not done any overclocking, or really screwed around with the BIOS since any initial tweaking, so can't really speak to how it performs when OC'ing.

 I'll probably google about the BIOS while waiting for it to get here I love OC'ing
