Hey everyone,

I didn't see a thread in this forum section about this already so I figured I would start my own so people can show off their computers. I have taken an interest in building computers after building my own.

Post up components/build specifications for your computer:
1. What do you primarily use your computer for?
2. What components does your computer have?
3. Approximately how much did you spend?
4. Is there anything you plan on changing or upgrading in the future?
5. Do you have any specification scores or overclocking specifications? If so what are they?
I will go first as an example:

1. I use my computer for a little bit of everything, so I wanted it to be versatile. It is very quite and used for Internet, video editing, engineering work, gaming...
2.

Sorry this might be a bit short, on break so trying to make this quick. 
I use my pc for work and gaming.
My computer is about 4 years old and I am in the process of building a new one. Currently my headset is my most expensive computer part. 
Not counting keyboard/mouse/headset I spent $475 on my pc
Prices are compared to what I paid for the parts at the time. They are rounded up or down.

Cpu : AMD Phenom II X4 840 Processor 3.20 GHz ( Over clock at 3.6GHz ) $110
Heat sink : Just an older Cooler master heat sink $30
Motherboard : GIGABYTE GA-M68MT-S2  $90
Memory : 1x4Gb kingsford DDR3 1333 ( My other stick died a few days ago, which is too bad because when I bought these they were $30 a stick. $30
PSU : Refurbished 740 Watt ( Don't know the name of it right now ) $40 
HDD : Western Digital 700MB ( I forget the speed but it isn't great. I am sorry I am on my work VPN so I can't run cpu-z right now to get specifics ) $55
Video card : Radeon 7770 HD - $120
Airflow : 5x 120mm fans ( not including heat sink fan ) didn't pay for the fans
Case : My tower is a HUGE old alien ware case from 2002. ( back when alien ware wasn't with dell and still made quality products )

My accessories :
Mouse : Logitech g700s wired/wireless mouse - $80
Keyboard : Microsoft basic mechanical keyboard H- $70
headset : Logitech g930 wireless/wired 7.1 surround sound headset. $170
Web cam : Logitech c310 HD 720( For CS:go streaming and work online meetings/conferences ) - $50
$370

I am in the process of building a new computer. My plan is to start playing with water cooling. I have not done water cooling yet, but I have read a lot about it so I do have a pretty good understanding. I am currently saving up for a Nvidia 980ti , which will be the first part I buy. I haven't decided on my cpu or motherboard yet, since it will take me awhile to save up. My budget for my new pc is $1000-$1500. Hoping to have it built by next year and hoping to buy parts that will last at least 5 years.
Nice computer you got there, what pc games do you play?

sYndROCK:  Nice, it is funny that your headset is the most expensive part.

I like your build, it seems simple yet unique and is a heck of a lot cheaper than what  I bought.

There is a ton of information out there about water-cooling vs air-cooling  and beyond. I really like the idea of water-cooling and taking advantage of water's ability to transfer more heat. When I went with an AIO I was under the impression it cooled better than the air coolers and would last longer, but in retrospect, the marginal performance improvements may not be worth it for me in the long run. It looks nice though .

If you are talking about a custom water-cooling setup that would be very cool (no pun intended). Let me know what you end up with part wise.

As for the 980Ti. Are you concerned at all with Windows 10 and DirectX 12 on the near horizon and compatibility with the 980Ti?


My computer:
I like it, I could have been a little more budget conscious and gotten similar performance, but oh well. I play:

Final Fantasy 14 A Realm Reborn (So awesome but only played for a month free)
Assassins Creed Series
Batman Arkham Origins
Grid 2
Dota 2

I just started getting into gaming, so still looking for more games to expand to.

@Ultimatone
Concerning the 980ti, they stated it will be fully compatible with windows 10 and have full direct x12 support, so that shouldn't be an issue. There is a chance I don't even upgrade to windows 10 for a few years, depends how smoothly their launch goes .Direct X 12 is the major thing I am looking at when deciding on a graphics card. Since it will be the cornerstone of every modern game to come out starting next year. I do not want to go too cheap, yet I do not have $1000 to drop on a high end card so the 980ti seemed the best choice. With it being only $650 and having a lot of the same specs as nvidia's Titan, I thought it was a solid choice. I was looking into AMD's FuryX, but recently it had some pretty bad benchmark reviews, so I decided not to look further into that card.
I will go with a custom water cooling set up because I want the experience setting one up. I will let you know when I do decide to start choosing parts. Like I said, I want to save up for my graphics card first. Because that could take awhile I didn't want to start picking parts till I am ready to order, since tech changes constantly.

As for the headset, it is my baby. I love it. Best headset I have ever owned. I play Counter Strike religiously and have for around 14 years, so sound is very very important. 
I just downloaded Dota 2 the other night, I haven't tried it yet. I play League of Legends a lot, but mostly with my girlfriend, since that is all she plays as far as pc games go. If you want to add me to steam you can search sYndROCK or ATF_sYndROCK
