Your PC config
Hi guys,
I'm just writing this post, wondering what type of PC config you use. Whether you have a beast or just a simple laptop, I'm still curious.
My PC config :
Processor
AMD FX-8350 8 cores clocked at 4 Ghz (Black Edition)
I took that processor since I was on a budget and since it still gives a good bang for the buck.
Graphics card
Sapphire Radeon R7 260X
It's not the best card ever but it handles pretty well all the games I throw at it.
Motherboard
Asus M5-A99FX pro R2.0
I don't really know what to say except that it's perfect for my needs.
RAM
8GB of Crucial Ballistix
It's RAM... XD
Case
Antec One
It's a good case for my needs, the only regrets that I have are that it doesn't have a basement and a window even if I don't need those features.
HDD
1TB of WD Caviar black
SSD
Crucial MX100 256GB
It's the drive that handles windows along with all my important softwares.
Power supply
Corsair 430W builders edition
Tell me what you think and tell me what config you have I really like anything hardware realated so don't hesitate.

We actually have pretty similar builds.
I have a pretty middle-of-the-line build. Suits my needs well. Plays any game I've thrown at it at max or high settings. Obviously handles any programming tasks.
I don't have any pictures of the computer, but here's my setup: http://goo.gl/fg7TnS
Cables are a mess, someday I'll deal with that...

Shared this before, but here is the computer I built a few years back. Thinking about diving into my technology savings account to build a new one soon.
Here is some pictures also of the setup http://imgur.com/a/9Zekw#0 P.S. Since the time of these pictures I have finally fixed the wiring to actually use the case ;p

ResidentBiscuit :
Nice build ! Your right, we do have similar builds. I also have the CM Hyper 212 evo, stock coolers just don't work out for AMD. Your graphics card is a little better than mine. It's the only part I might upgrade in the futur.
You said you had windows and ubuntu, did you put your pc in dual boot ? I was kind of thinking about doing the same, how does it work ?
Zereo :
Seems like a good build. Why do you have 32Gb of ram ? isn't it a little overkill ?
I was also wondering, what where the specs of the laptop sitting next to you ?
I have a dell latitude running a I7-2640M @2.4Ghz along with 32Gb of ram. I know it's overkill but it's my dads old laptop so I'm not the one that upgraded the RAM that high.
Peter87 :
How does it run ? I assume you don't game or you just game a little. Do you lag a little sometimes ? I use to have a pc that had about the same specs as yours and it was just horrible.

@mindoo,
Yeah I have dual-boot set up. My BIOS made it kind of difficult, but it ended up just being one flag needed changed. But since then it's worked great. I recommend doing it. If you need any help, just PM me or find me on our IRC channel.

Yeah really like the build, runs anything without any trouble and hasn't had any hiccups so far. Also yeah I probably went overkill on the RAM, was the first high end computer I built and have always wanted to build one since I was little and finally was lucky enough financially to do it. So figured why not go all out.
Though right now I am still happy I got that much, allows me to run quite a few heavy programs at the same time (Like Maya/3ds Max, Unreal Engine/Unity, testing version of the game, etc) and still have enough RAM to keep all my browser tabs open and other programs.
As for the laptop it is a Lenovo X1`Carbon which I use for on the go stuff (Got it mainly because of how light it is). Definitely isn't a powerhouse laptop and definitely not meant for gaming (Can run most fine on medium but has some cooling issues because of the thin design).

| What do you use linux for ? |
Most of my development I do on Ubuntu. I spend most of my time over there, I get on Windows if I wanna play a game other than Dota 2.

No, I don't play much games nowadays. Mostly simple games like GNOME Mines, and occasionally old games using DOSBox or ScummVM. I'm using Debian 6.0.10, and I don't have any performance problems at all.

I've got a pretty old but functional setup:
CPU: Intel Dual Core 2.8
RAM: 4gb
Graphics: AMD R7 240 (bought recently, had a 5450)
Screen: VGA, 1600x900
OS: W7 x64
HDD: 500gb (200gb free)
Supply: 600w (uses abt. 450w tho... what a waste)
If I were to upgrade my pc, I'd do it in the following order:
CPU (quad core)
RAM (+4gb)
Screen (HDMI)
Graphics (TBD)
HDD (Secondary HDD for games)

It's a super budget build from a couple years ago. This thing literally gets hot enough to heat my room after a couple hours of gaming though :/
