Gamers? Designers? Complete computer nerds? -Post/compare/discuss your PC specs!

[Afaz]

In light of my most recent purchase i figured it might be interesting to see what everyone has got running for their pc's whether it be a gaming rig, gfx design rig, standard rig, stock rig with minor upgrades..etc

Currently i have 4-6 laptops, ive lost count... Most current laptop is a 17.6 Dell Touchscreen well was, until i cracked the screen and disabled touch features so now its my bitch tool to mine for monero. It has an Intel I7 7th gen, 480gb SSD, 12GB RAM with a dedicated 2GB AMD R5 m335 GPU. Not much to brag about but its the better of the few laptops i have...

Current "gaming" rig is a stock HP with a upgraded PSU from 300W to 450W with 12GB ram, Nvidia GTA 750 Ti OC with a 240gb ssd+2TB hdd connected to a 4TB NAS drive which is connected to a 2TB external hdd..

Bumping up this old post to update my specs =D, all you crypto nerds should post here or make a mining rig show off thread but These will be added to my rig in the next week or so... just need to pick up the right SLI HB bridge and ill be allllll set. Super pumped. could have gotten the gpu 10 dollars cheaper but i missed that by 2 days however i got the last day of 0%APR on newegg and will be paying half of it off once it allows me too. Affirm is a dope company. helps build credit and doesn't smack your credit score for taking out the loan(as far as i know)...but who cares cause i just didnt wanna shell out the 700ish all at once...

Original Build listed in the OG post. Build continued

1x "EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2 GAMING iCX, 08G-P4-6686-KR, 8GB GDDR5X, RGB LED, 9 Thermal Sensors, Asynchronous Fan Control, Thermal Display LED System, Optimized Airflow Fin Design, Die Cast/Form Fitted Baseplate/Backplate"

1x "Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators (Value 2-Pack)"

-Cheap, decent reviews so effective for my needs as well... Will probably pop these two in the top two slots on the front of the case, 1 of the cheapo black fans in the bottom slot then 2 of the black ones for the top case slots..will have 1 extra but can figure something to do with it or save for backup...

I'm still using the same pc from 10yrs ago lol, but it sure has been a reliable work horse for all my needs.  Dell Vostro with a Q6600 8gb ddr2, 500gb ssd, 2tb storage drive, evga gtx 760 ti with 4gb ram, hooked to my 42 in plasma running Win 10 pro 64 bit.  Can't really complain especially after both my pc and tv survived a house fire in 2011 and still going strong.
