Post your gaming setup!

Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB

Very nice overall . Hope you learned from the previous dude to order the low profile vengeance though o_o

[laggspike]

Nearly same setup atm, BUT i won a SSD from Dreamhack winter :3

just add a corsair force gt 120 gb

[Asera]

My system is a couple years old mostly, wanna upgrade but can't justify it yet:

Case: Fractal Define XL
Motherboard: MSI P55A-GD55 (I think)
Power Supply: A good one that was enough (XFX XXX 750 watt modular as I recall)
Processor: Intel Core i5-750
CPU Cooler: Zalman (CNPS9500 or similar I think)
Memory: 8GB (2x4gb) of memory that was on sale and good (Think was Mushkin)
Graphics Card: Power Color ATI 6950 2GB (loud as hell, don't buy it)
Hard Drive:
OS and Some Choice Games - 2 x OCZ Vertex 60GB SSD's (Originals) in Raid 0
Filer backup and other games - 1 x Western Digital Black 2GB Hard drive

External Hardware:
Keyboard: Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard
Mouse: Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse
Desktop Speakers: Old Altec Lansing 5.1 Surround Speakers (No idea on the model, they're well over 5 years old)
Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp 2407wfp 24" LCD Display

Coffee: Lotsa sugar and cream, hate the taste, but keeps me awake for more games

Oh boy! Another Nova Scotian here!

Speaking of Force 3 drives though... Mine seems to be acting strange...

I didn't really know of this but yes it's a low profile vengeance. Thanks for mentioning though, since if it wasn't I were still able to change the order to that

Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 ($0 after $30 MIR)
Processor: Intel Sandy Bridge i5 2500k ($150 after $100 off)
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-V LX ($70 after $60 off)
Memory: 8GB Patriot DDR3 @ 1600MHz ($30 after $5 off & $20 MIR)
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6770 ($70)
Solid State Drive: Samsung 60GB SSD ($50 - from a friend)
Hard Drive: Western Digital 250GB ($0 - already had)
Case Fans: 5 x Cooler Master 120mm Blue LED & 1 x Cooler Master 140mm Silent ($30)
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper N520 ($10 after $15 MIR)
PSU: Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 460w ($0 after $15 MIR)
Monitor: Acer 21.5" Widescreen LCD ($0 - gift from a friend)

Total Cost (After MIRs): $410

[Xuvial]

Well that's no fair, seeking deals and cutting corners on almost every component >_>
That setup cost you less than half what it's actually worth!

[anb]

super badass for that price. ofc the 6770 seems out of place, but for 400 bucks you just can't complain.

Did someone spend some time at Micro Center? ;P

Going from a laptop with:

Intel Core2Duo T5750 @ 2Ghz
3GB Ram
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470
300GB HDD

To a desktop with:

Antec Three Hundred
Corsair 500W true power
Asus P8H67 USB3, SATA3
Intel Core i5 2500k 3.30GHZ 6MB cache
Gráfica EVGA GTX 560 TI DS 1024MB GDDR5
8GB GSKILL RIPJAW-X ddr3
1TB sata2 7200rpm

Seems nice? I think it does. ;D Skyrim, i'm waiting for you <3

500W is the minimum requirement for that GPU are you sure you don't want to have atleast a 550W to be safe?

That whole system could be run on a 400w psu if needed... I think 100w is more than enough to cover some possible overclocking and such.

Minimum of a 500 power supply.

EVGA just wants people to spend more moneys. All the companies do. ;P

real average power consumption of a system with i52500k and 560ti should be around 350W no more. However 350W PSU can't deliver that wattage. And most likely won't deliver needed amps. Thats why manufacturers recommend more expensive hardware just to be sure their recommendation works 100%. Or rip off more money

500w minimum required could also possibly be assuming maybe you have an older more power hungry CPU+chipset than 2500K and P67/Z68 lol.

That's true. I put a 650W in my own system (said 550W req) just to make sure it's enough (also for future upgrades) besides that using a low PSU might get troubles with warranty.

[DeltrusDisc]

Yeah, I've had my Corsair TX V1 650watt PSU for about a year and a half, and I won't be upgrading it till I have the money, but I definitely am going to get a modular, probably around 750 watt for possibilities with SLI in the future or something similar.

AX750 doit doit! I have a thing for that unit. Even getting pleasure by others having it ^^.
