Computer specs
Forum! How can we have a computer forum without a specs thread? :)
Here's mine, it's just new and I didn't pay xD
ASUS X58 Sabertooth motherboard
Radeon HD 6950 2GB
8 GB RAM
Intel i7 960 (quad-core 3.2 GHz)
2TB HDD
Windows 7 Home
Needless to say, I'm damn happy with it :D

It's not the fastest system out there. I started from scratch. To pay for the components, I went college, and earned £30 a fortnight just to pay for the parts. I'm currently focusing on better components such as the motherboard, and graphics card. I'm still happy with it though :)
Personally, I wouldn't be happy with a system that I didn't build myself. Not bad specs though.

I did build it myself, do you mean I should have paid myself? :P
If so, I can't even get a student job yet...

Lol. I wish PC components would fall into my lap :)
Thinks: I want a Intel® Xeon® Processor E7-8870.
15 minutes later: There's a knock at the door; it's a man from Royal Mail holding a parcel with my name on it.

Lol it's just a tad harder. For the amount of time begging for a new PC (over 2 years) I could've bought my computer 5 times xD.

I brought a Xeon desktop PC once, and it p****d me right off. The PSU was buzzing like there was a wasp inside it, the core clock was only 1.4Ghz( two physical cores ), the FSB was about 444Mhz( that's it ), it weighted f***k knows how much, the HDD was only 80GB( the TR was so slow, it would've been faster to manually write the information onto the disk with a needle ), and the only form of cooling the CPU's had, was a single 80mm system fan( even the CPU heat-sinks had no fans on them ). Finally, the graphics card only had 32MB of memory.
Of course, it played Far Cry 2 without any lag because it was that good.
Honestly, by far the worst PC I ever owned. I've still got it now actually. I might actually consider using it as a household server.

ASUS P7-P55D deluxe
Inten i5 760 @ 3.29 GHz (OCed)
XFX Radeon HD 6870
8GB RAM
1TB HDD
550 W PSU
Ran The Witcher 2 ultra, w/o ubersampling, 1280x720 at 55-60 FPS, really happy with that. 720p is enough for me as I have reduced eyesight and notice no real difference anyways on higher resloutions in games. I really didn't understand what ubersampling did other than ruin the framerate and make it blurrier.
It costed 10,000 kr (around 1,750 USD -- Norway's really expensive).

@Gisle: I was able to run The Witcher 2 on ultra at about 70 FPS. With Uber-Sampling I saw no visual improvement and it slowed the framerate down to the 20s.

Do you use Eyefinity to play games across those 3 monitors?
I could never game on more than one monitor personally, having bezelles stuck between my gaming view doesn't do it for me...
I just ordered this so I can play at 2560x1600:
