Hey All, I thought it'd be cool to have a thread about the PC setup everyone's running. I recently just purchased (built online) a new PC (After 8 years of not having my gaming PC I built around), and thought it would be cool to share. I've always been really into PC's / Setups, and interested to see what you guys are working with! My 8 year old gaming PC Specs: 6GB Ram 3x 2GB DDR3 Intel i5 Dual Core 4400 nvidia GTX 470 500GB HD, No SSD 250W Power Supply All this stuff was top of the line back when I built it! The PC I just had built: Case- NZXT S340 Gaming Case Design by Razer Intel Core i7-7700K Processor (4x 4.20GHz/8MB L3 Cache) - Intel Core i7-7700K Processor Cooling- Corsair Hydro Series H60 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler Memory-16 GB [8 GB X2] DDR4-2400 Memory Video Card -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 - 8GB - ASUS TURBO (VR-Ready) Motherboard- MSI Z270 PC Mate -- 3x PCIe x16, 6x USB 3.1 Primary Hard Drive240 GB Kingston A400 SATA-3 SSD Hard Drive - 2TB WD Black Here's a picture of the case. imgur.com/a/TD1qASuper excited to have this thing come in! Will upload Real Pictures once it's in! Attachments:

congrats on the new rig! the 1070 Asus card is actually what i'm tempted to upgrade to!
my specs are:
I5 3570k currently at 3.40GHz(not currently overclocked, though very much possible) Dual channel 16gb's of RAM (DDR3) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (Asus card) then i have a 120gb SSD for operating system and 2tb harddrive for the rest it sits in a Stormtrooper case (with fancy new green fans instead of red woowoo) for screens i just run a few low ms tv screens, it gets me by, i also have a Razer Deathadder 2013, the Kraken 7.1 Chroma headset and the Blackwidow 2013 Ultimate keyboard
none of it's new, but it still works good : )

I'm eagerly awaiting my PC to arrive!! I need to find a monitor. I'll run in on a TV until I find one, but would love to look into getting a wide screen 29/32 inch to simulate dual monitors without having to buy two haha. I got a cool mechanical keyboard with the purchase, if it's not up to par will be upgrading to the new razer chroma. I use a razer naga that I've had for years atm, still working great for weapon swapping / click macros for consumables.

Getting old now... C'est la vie Asus M4A78T-E Phenom II x3 720 R7 200 series 16GB RAM Antec Earthwatts 500W Built it ~5 yrs ago.. ish.. Found this thread as would like to give it a little boost. It works fine for my needs, but I'm wondering if I could put a better graphics card in it without any 'bottlenecking' issues. Just spent an alarming amount on car service/MOT, so.. need to keep this baby going another year or so.. Was looking at something like a GTX 960, but according to this, not much point.. More research I guess P.S: Any suggestions on the 'best' GPU I can put in without upgrading other parts that won't get bottlenecked..?
