Subject: Whats Your Rig?


So i run the following.

CPU: Phenom X2 555 OC@4Ghz
Ram: Kingston HyperX DDR2 @ 890MHz
Mobo: ASrock K10N780SLIX3-WiFi
GPU: Zotac 9800GTX AMP's x 2 SLi @ 750MHz
HDD: Westen Digital Caviar Black 500GB SATAII
PSU: 750W OCZ Fatal1ty
Case: X-Clio A380Plus
Display: BenQ G2222HDL

Im looking to go one of 2 routes, either Keep my current Mobo and go down the GTX460 or 465 SLi route or get a new Mobo and swap to AMD for my graphics too and get a HD6950 or HD6970 and getting new RAM as well.

Feel free to use the template bellow for your rig.

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 930 @ 2.8GHz
Ram: Corsair XMS 6 Gb Ram
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
GPU: XFX Geforce 8800 GTS 512 Mb
HDD: 2 of the Westen Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATAII
PSU: Ultra X4 850-Watt Modular Power Supply
Case: Ultra Mid tower, clear sided case
Display: Acer X223w 22" Monitor

I want to upgrade my Video card to either a Geforce GTX 580 or just below that model when the price drops.

Also would like to get an SSD for a boot drive only. Maybe an OCZ series SSD or something, but not sure which one to go for.

Also want a 2nd monitor for max productivity - or be greedy so I can play a game one one screen and still see my xfire, skype and internet browser on the other.

Well, decided that now was the time to finish my upgrades for this year and so my rig is now the following:

CPU: Phenom II X4 B55 OC@3.6Ghz (stable)
Ram: 8GB Kingston HyperX XMP special edition DDR3 OC@1800mhz
Mobo: ASRock 890GX Extreme3
GPU: Asus HD 6850 Direct CU
HDD: Westen Digital Caviar Black 500GB SATAII
PSU: 750W OCZ Fatal1ty
Case: X-Clio A380Plus
Display: BenQ G2222HDL

Got a new Mobo, new Ram, and a new GPU so i have USB3, SATA 3 and eSATA 3 now with the ability to use ASRock's UCC feature and see if i can get any cores unlocked from my CPU.

Well... the rest isn't worth mentioning... lol. My little laptop can't even run The Sims 3 without crashing...

Anyone feel like donating to the "Penguin needs a new laptop that can run Crysis 2" Fund? lol..

It lowered my cpu temps about 10 degrees C. I think i paid $50 for the corsair h50 on ebay new, so it was a great deal.
