Thread: My PC, opinions-taste?

So this is my gaming/movie/torrent PC. Tell me what you guys think about it.
She doesn't got a i7 or something fancy as that, but still KICK'S ASS! I build her day by day slowly
Didn't have the money for all of that in one scoop so got it over the year...



OS:Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Motherboard:GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS4
CPU:Intel Dual Core on 3.5 Ghz (OC)
RAM:4x 2GB PC8500 Corsair, 1066Mhz
PS: Corsair TX 950W
Graphic card: Gainward GeForce GTX 260 Golden Sample 1792Mb DDR3
HDD's: got only 3 of them in the PC all Seagate 1TB,1TB and 500GB
Monitor: Samsung P2770HD 27"
The case is NZXT => "Crafted gaming armor" LOL

Take a look PIC:

wicked man. great configuration. like the corsair :)

Looks fine. Do you have some plans for the 950W PSU?

I have a computer coming, its being shipped at the moment, and I would just like it to hurry up and arrive. I'm looking forward to having three screens.

Well i don't know exactly but each HDD takes around lets say 20W, I'm not sure but its something like that. I will definitely put more HDD's inside and maybe one more graphic card, the same model i got now. And its strong so i need a lot of power. Or im thinking even to buy a motherbaord, ram and a cpu so i replace the old things. So far my PC kick's ass and im not thinking much about it or chacning it

Dude 950W is EXTREMELY overkill for just about any rig, you wasted a lot of money sadly. Unless you wanna go Tri-SLI with GTX480s or something, a Corsair 750W is comfortably sufficient (even 650W would do), even more so here because you have a power-efficient dual-core.

Also, building PCs over a time-span may yield quicker reward, but it's best to get it all in one go once you have enough cash. New products are coming out all the time and you loose a lot of potential performance by getting bits and pieces early.

P.S. Before even thinking about getting another GPU, get a better CPU. At this moment you're probably entirely CPU bottle-necked, not to mention the performance gain from SLI or Crossfire isn't really worth it and comes with a ton of problems of its own.

I wouldn't consider changing it either if i had a PC like this:001_tongue:

Not bad. Should get at least a quad and oc it though :p

nice rig, but why 950w? add 2 more gb of memory

not bad,its a good configuration
