    Not sure what the point of this is. Are you looking for advice upgrading?

    Some of us work hard to be able to earn such systems. There was certainly a time where I had a very shitty system. It was a garbage Gateway with a dedicated GPU that I had to add. Dual core E5200 CPU from Intel, that was in 2009, but still, absolute garbage for gaming, so believe me when I say we all are at that low at some point...

    hmm, there's this thing where you give someone a bit of your time and skill and they give you money, for the life of me I can't remember what its called


    honestly though, i wouldn't worry too much about what other people have, focus on your wants and needs, other people are not a stick to measure yourself by, if you want a high end computer, set a goal for one and work towards it, but "keeping up with the joneses" will only leave you depressed and in debt

    This is not a blog. We don't need topics about your first-world problems.
    Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

    I feel like this whole thread is literally just self promotion of your stream which is the only thing found in your signature.

    A lot of the most popular streamers also get a lot of hardware from vendors for advertising purposes.
    Gaming: Dual Intel Pentium III Coppermine @ 1400mhz + Blue Orb | Asus CUV266-D | GeForce 2 Ti + ZF700-Cu | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 | Whistler Build 2267
    Media: Dual Intel Drake Xeon @ 600mhz | Intel Marlinspike MS440GX | Matrox G440 | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 @ 166mhz | Windows 2000 Pro

    Can't be worse than my system ? Gtx 470, I7 860, yes thats the first gen witch is back from 2009.

    My GTX 470 runs up to 95 degress playing Diablo3 on low settings....I haft to play WoW (with addons trough) on nearly all low. I had my GPU fry once, so my PC wouldent recognize it. That happend when I was doing CM runs inn WoW, where you are forced to play for longer times and stuff...luckly restart ftw.

    I wouldn't say that what professional streamers use for hardware is any good indication of what the computers of "most people" is like, go here instead.

    I wouldn't use that as what most people use either. It's a small subset and it includes people who connect from multiple devices as well. If someone logs in from their main computer most of the time, but a laptop occasionally, that laptops specs are included in those statistics. The real numbers are likely somewhere in between there somewhere.

    Your system is most likely better than mine...
    Phenom 9550, 2.2 ghz, 4 GB RAM at 600 mhz, and dual Radeon 4870's. So yeah I can't even do DX11 stuff.
    Also... checking the chart from steam that was linked I am at the bottom 2% for proccessors, and less than 1% for GPU ><

    You should take the case of that 470, and check for dust build up inside of it. My brother had one that was overheating like that, idle at 55 and was running many games over 90. Anyways I took it apart and found tons of dust built up inside the heatsink shroud and between the circuit board and fan. It now idles at 27 and runs most games at 45-50.

    You actually have to be selected at random and agree to submit your system's information. Pretty sure they only poll your most used device when you're selected as I've never gotten it on my secondary systems.

    I'm gonna go ahead and close this thread since there doesn't seem to be any point. If you're looking for upgrade advice, post a thread in the subforum with a budget in mind and we'll be happy to help.
