Post your gaming setup!

Absolutely love it. Everything from the minimalist tidy design, component/part choices, cable layout, lighting and audio setup. I wish I had a wooden floor! The glimpse inside the case also shows braided cables (Corsair set?) and good cable management.
What are those speakers beside the TV if I may ask?

Thank you very much for your kind words! Means alot Seems like I managed to make it look somewhat satisfying ^^
Sadly the braided cables are not corsairs (wish they were though, damn that quality...), but some cheaper extension-cables. Just too make it look better!
Yea, wooden floor really lets you know when you need to clean, in a good way! The speakers are... a pair of Sony's I think, hold on... Yep, Sony SSCCP333, came with a stereo system I got many years ago, sadly they are not being used at the moment :/

*Pics will come as I have gotten my order and re-build my PC*

I'll be replacing my case, PSU and graphic card in a week or 2, just wondering what you guys think of the setup ill have then. Main reasons are that my case is about to collapse (it's that old..), I've never had a proper gaming case yet and my GPU fans sound like a jet engine starting when I play BF4. Performance dropping FAST, so it'll die anyday. Also, my new graphic card would not fit in my current case.

Parts I'm getting:

PSU: Seasonic M12II - 620 Bronze
Case: Corsair 500R Gaming Miditower, still thinking about it but I like the white one a lot
GFX: Sapphire Dual-X R9 280X - giving this a try after 8 years of nvidia.

Last month I got myself a:

HDD: Western Digital WD10EURX 1TB

I already have:

Mobo: GA-Z77X-D3H
CPU: i5-2500k @ 4.5 GHz (1.32v, max temp reached under prime95 was 63 degrees... Kind of happy with this)
CPU cooler: Zulaman CNPS10X Performa
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 1600MHz C9 DDR3
SSD: Crucial M4 128GB
A cheap DVD-RW drive
Main screen: Asus VE247H 24"
Second screen: Acer X243W 21"

I'm basically upgrading from a FSP Fortron 500W Source, MSI Geforce 560 GTX and no clue what case.. It's from a pre-build PC I bought 5-6 years ago (of which all parts have been replaced now).

I sure hope I can run BF4 on high/ultra with this setup.

Just moved so walls and etc. are pretty plain and cable management non-existant. Here's an overall pic though:


Everything can change color except the Blackwidow, so I just made everything green to match for the pic lol.

awesome set up, quick question!

the green lighting at the back, is that just an LED strip at the back of the desk?


im in the process of sprucing up my gaming setup, because it sucks, its messy and looks bad. for back lighting i have a lamp which isn't great.

Yes you will be able to play BF4 ultra at 1080p

so yeah heres my desk, since i moved in here last year i pretty much never changed my setup.



im hoping to move the TV to a different wall, off the desk and get a 3rd screen, and then some proper back lighting!

edit: just realised how bad this photo is! can't find lead for my proper camera

(Sorry about the awful quality picture - it's all I have for now.)

I now have an Alienware 14 to complement my rig. I needed a laptop because I'm in the military and there's no way I could bring my rig around with me with how often I travel. The reason I bought an Alienware is because this is one of the only (if not the only) 13/14" laptop on the market that performs as well as the 17" behemoths. I'm very happy with the build quality and performance of it so far (worth the "extra" money). It can handle WoW on ultra, although I prefer to play on a high/ultra custom setup. All I need is to put a SSD in it and I'm good to go.

I guess I need to post a reminder again - Do not quote images, do not embed pictures wider than 800 pixels.

Yeah, it's a self-adhering LED strip that I have stuck to the back of all 3 monitors (with enough slack between them so I can reposition them without damaging the strips).

Pretty cheap for what it does (I usually leave it on white/off-white for ambient lightning unless I'm just really feeling some color lol).

Putting it together tomorrow, pics inc soon!

[Lolkrayd]

Recently got my build put together still learning how to cable manage.
got the i7 4770k for dirt cheap but overclocking it has been a chore and 4.3 seems to be stable.
4.4 was unstable even at 1.4 so I guess I would have to tinker with other things.




~hopefully I didn't screw up the format

[Roblivion]

Great rigs! Just ordered my CM Quickfire Rapid Cherry Red!!! So pumped!

[aevitas]

Finally completed my new rig! New case, PSU and graphic card :-) So yeah, not a completely new rig but a new case makes it feel like one.

Setup:

Asus VE 247H 24"
Acer X243W 21"
Logitech G510 kb
Logitech G300 mouse
M-Audio BX5-D2 studio monitors
Numark Mixtrack Pro (to right of the pics)
Headset Sennheiser HD 205, dirt cheap but pretty good for gaming

PC:

Corsair Carbide R500 case
Seasonic m12II - 620W psu
Sapphire Dual-X R9 280X gpu
Gigabyte Ga-Z77X-D3H mobo
i5-2500k @ 4.3 GHz cooled by Zulaman CNPS10X Performa with 2 fans
2x Corsair Vengeance 4 GB DDR3
SSD: Crucial M4 128gb
HDD: Western Digital WD10EURX AV-GP 1TB

About the case: Fairly easy to build even for a noob such as I am (only the second time I put together a PC, first time in a new case). Made stupid newbie mistakes by not checking for mobo standoffs, trying to connect the case's fans to my motherboard/psu while it's connected with one big cable etc... My cable management was pretty shit, it WAS better but it got worse when I had to take out my mobo when I was almost done to check for those motherboard screws. After a small hick-up (PC wouldn't turn on because gpu power wasn't properly inserted...) I was really happy when it booted. The fan adjust/LED on/off buttons work properly and I'm really happy with it. Overall my PC is about 8 degrees cooler and my CPU is about 12 degrees lower than previously, but that's because I added another fan mostly.

To be honest, I have no freaking clue how people get such clean cases. I really dont see how I could improve it by a lot, I obviously am not happy with that one cable going "over" my CPU fan, it's for the 12v connector to the motherboard.. I simply did not have a longer cable for it and could only just reach it like this.. Is it ok if I keep it this way? It doesn't hit anything on it's way luckely.

Screens:











Too bad it looks like a mechanical octopus died in the bottom of my pc case, but i guess it works like this lol.

Good to see you got it all together, congrats

[yupholladay]

I'll only be gaming on the bottom right monitor but having 4 will be great for projects

I had the same setup, hell it was even the same stand that I bought off of amazon. Honestly hated it. I wasn't using it for gaming just web development but the setup just felt forced and bothered me. Ended up just using three monitors all layed out on my desk. But everyones different, cheers mate

Nice stealth monitor

Do you have pictures of your rig?

[Deleted]

I modded my headphones a bit. I had both DT-770s and HMC 660Xs.


Here you can see Superlux drivers...


And here are the Beyerdynamic equivalents.


Anyway when I was done I had these leftovers... I kinda combined the both headphones, you see.


Here is the final product. Practically a DT-770 with a microphone.

Think my CPU is a bit overkill for gaming. Anyways, let me know how my setup is if you please

Pictures?

And the CPU is not really overkill anymore. It's a Sandy-E quadcore, basically. Ivy i5/i7 is about 10% faster, haswell is about 20% faster.
An FX-8350 about ties with it, give or take. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good processor. But overkill is not really accurate, it's average now.

Here is the final product. Practically a DT-770 with a microphone.

As a seasoned diy-person, I approve.

No case
