Uhm erm its old, it was a mid grade system that I build using some existing parts and some new for about $600 US something like 6 yearsish ago or so. (monitor, power supply, blue ray, and case from old system)
AMD Athlon II X2 260
8G ram DDR2 I think
111G SSD
AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series with 1Gig
@pyrlix you know someone is serious when their PC can cool more heat than some cars.
Iāve got a fairly low end laptop, although i will need to be getting a new one later this year once i go to college so it can actually handle running CAD.
My current one is:
4GB DDR3
500GB HDD
Intel HD graphics
Intel Celeron N2840 processor
Then again, thereās my unfinished big-tower system, still missing itās GPUās and water cooling.
CPU: Xeon E5-2683 v3 14-core
Mainboard: Asrock X99 WS
RAM: 64GB DDR4-2400
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Tempered Glass
Storage 1: Samsung 960 1TB M.2 SSD
Storage 2: Crucial MX300 2TB SATA SSD
Power Supply: Cooler Master V1000
Once this is done, itāll replace my 2600 system.
Beholdā¦the iBuyPower WA550G gaming computer.
This is my full setup. (I knowā¦is a bit messy)
Here are the inner works of itā¦
OS----Microsoft Windows 10 Home Edition, 64-bit
Chassis-----Raidmax Horus Mid- Tower
MoBo-----AMD 760G
CPU------AMD FX 4300 āZambeziā @ 3.8 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache (AM3+ Socket)
GPU------Nvidia GeForce GT730, 2 GB Dedicated VRAM (Driver Version 376.33) w/ HDMI
RAM------8 GB DDR3, 1600 MHz SDRAM
HDD------Toshiba DT01ACA100 @ 1 TB
Monitor-----Acer S240HL 24" @ 1920*1080 FHD (shown)
Audio------Realtek High Definition Audio Chipset, up to 5.1 channels thorough Line-out
It runs most of my racing game library without a hitch @ 125 FPS+ on some older titles. Of course it also runs Automation like a charm. Not bad for a $500 gaming machine, Right?
Fine. Iāll bite.
AMD FX4100 on a GA78LMT-S2P with 16GB of DDR-1333. Windows 10 64bit on a WD Blue 2TB, games on a 1TB. Graphics courtesy of an R7 370 and an AOC 22.5"ā¦ plus HDMI to the amp/TV
ORā¦
Phenom II x6 1055T on a GA880GM-USB3 holding 16GB DDR-1333, with Win 10 64 on an 80GB (yesā¦ I said 80), games on a WD 500GB. GTX750 feeding a BenQ 19".
I donāt o/c anything.
PC
Case=Sharkoon Bandit
MoBo=Asus P8H61-M LE
CPU=Intel G2030 @ 3.0 GHz, 3 MB Cache (Socket 1155)
GPU=Gainward Nvidia Geforce 9800GT Green Edition(for now since my GT430 is at maintaince)1GB (Driver Version 342.01)

HDD=Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX @ 1 TB paired with Samsung HD105SI @ 1 TB
Monitor=Targa Visionary 17" @ 1280x1024 LCD
Runs most of my games pretty darn good sadly some games are unplayable due to GPU incompatibility
Laptop
CPU:Intel Dual Core i5-2520M (Sandy Bridge) 2.5GHz (Turbo 3.2GHz, 3MB Intel Smart Cache, 32nm)
RAM:4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz

I use an MSI GT72 Gaming Laptop. It has-
Intel I7-6820HK CPU @2.7ghz (4 cores)
32GB DDR4 Memory (2 of 4 slots used so upgrade to 64gb will be slightly cheaper)
Nvidia GTX980M GPU with 8GB
2x 255GB SSD in raid 0 to give me a 512GB primary drive
1x 1TB HDD
17" IPS Display runs at 1920x1080 @ 75hz
Yeah I know the same money would get me a superior desktop, but
1 - I need portability
2 - I canāt afford / justify 2 PCs
3 - I donāt really have the location to permanently home a desktop setup how I would want it.
well Iām working with my old workstation laptop, 14" Hp elitebook 8460p
Intel i7-2620M CPU @2.7ghz (2 cores, 4 virtual, boost at 3.0ghz)
4GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD6470M
512GB HDD @7200 rpm
Docking station with connected 24" Samsung FHD @60hz display, secondary 19" portrait Hp HD @75hz, some keybord, gaming-ish mouse and speakers.
Itās got quite some problems running any game, so Iām thinking for a while now of building budget gaming rig but time I spent playing games is really low and for other work, this laptop is still ok and very reliable.
so new computer spec thread?
i canāt even remember what motherboard i use.
AMD A8-7650K on old type stock cooler, non OCed because stock cooler
Asrock FM2A68M-DG2+ (was actually written on the mobo itself. derp)
1x8GB Geil something ram (i know single channel and APU is stupid. but i had a reason for it, bit complicated)
running on the iGPU. which is pretty decent. plays almost any game if youāre willing to play it on low.
128GB Sandisk SSD Plus
2TB WDC HDD
and some actually decent $30 Chinese computer case.
What happened to your 2500k system?
that is the story of why iām on a single channel APU system.
short storyā¦ i burnt out 2 2500k with their motherboard somehowā¦ ran out of moneyā¦ scraped whatever i can to get something at least running.
forgot to mention iām running this through an overkill 550w PSU
because i was anticipating an i5-2500k and a 7970
It only cools a load of 400W in utter silence 
Coolant reaches 36Ā°C at full load with 45% fan speed
I think your silent cooling is almost as good as my entire load, including monitor and power supply losses.
65w with the cpu, I think 125w for the video card, 120w main monitor 180w second monitor, maybe another 50w for everything else speakers included.
Went from a 500w system(not including monitors) to this one and we noticed on the electric bill.
waitā¦ does monitors rally consume that much??? O_O
Usually theyāre in the 2-digit Watt range, I donāt know what special monitor consumes 180W.
(My 28" 4K TN-Panel is rated 35W power consumption)
AMD Phenom X2 550 ā¦unlocked to X4 B50ā¦and overclocked to 3.4GHz
8GB RAM
Gigabyte Mobo (so I could unlock the X4)
GTX 550Ti
Yup, itās a shitbrick but it plays the main games I want to (Automation, GW2) and lots of other games I play occasionally.
Thatās what they say on the back, the one that draws the most is an old LCD, and its the backlight that draws the majority of the power. The old CRTās drew about twice as much.
Is it the maximum power draw or power draw during normal use?
I have an old lcd from 2008 that says it takes 1.5amps at 110v on the back (165 watts). But in the manual they say that power draw during use is just 48 watts
My P2415Q is using 75W in normal use, and its not at maximum brightness. I believe thats due to the 24" 4K IPS Panel since the U2312HM thats standing next to it uses a generous 40W, at maximum brightness.
Nothing can beat the heat of an CRT though, had an old 19" CRT āback in the daysā. You could feel the enormous heat and the static when you were close to it. I do miss the 100Hz times thoughā¦
My guess is that is maximum draw.
