What Type of Computer/Gaming RIG you Use?

[Brock 5amson]

pc's.. except for most of those crap cans made by "dellienware" , can be as different as people.. some go buy some standard car off the lot.. while others grab up a slew of different parts and try to make a work of art or something competitive...


nothing else matters.. a pc is more than those 3 things.. it's the sum of all the parts AND how you've lay them out, the design and management of it all.. that would be like bragging about having a v-12 in your garage.. but it has no car to run in.. or worse still, you put it in a pinto somehow and feed it low grade 87'......

Most of these guys just buy pre-built gamer rigs, and think they are DIY system builders cause they bought a led fan to stick in.
Parts are parts. I didn't do anything special when I installed the CPU water cooling. I don't care if my rig has a rainbow of colors coming out of its ***. It's pointless stuff that drains a little more on the PSU, and worst of all the extra light from the case. I feel like a lot of people watched a few too many fast and furious movies, and put that same racing gimmick into their computer cases.

You mean it's expensive to you......Is it overkill? Probably depending on what else they use their computer for. In the end it's really no different then they guy down the street who tunes imports, some people just want to see what kind of monster they can build

Really good advice though for people who are looking for the most bang for their buck on a gaming only rig. Core i5 3570k's are more then enough for gaming while giving you a good option if your into OC'ing and the Athlon II X3 is pure goodness for the price.

No. I meant what I said. It is expensive. This is not a relative term to me or you. The definition is - Adjective: costing a lot of money. Several hundred dollars for an I7 compared to other processors with similar specs that are sub $100, qualifies it for that definition.
