I've built a number of them but I rarely game anymore so building a killer rig is overkill for me. The last thing I built was a Hackintosh last year to do video editing. Outside of that, it never gets powered up (I was going to say "turned on" but I'm on to you guys :lol:)

Surprised there are this many other PC gamers here... I built mine way back in 2009 then continued upgrading it. I got an i7 920 back then and really have seen a need to upgrade the processor since then. To give it a boost I got a Noctua D14 cooler and overclocked it from stock 2.66ghz to 3.8ghz about 2.5 years ago.

Currently it's:

i7 920 @ 3.8ghz

ASRock X58 Xtreme motherboard

12GB Kingston DDR3 1600

2x GTX 680(1 EVGA. 1 Asus) in SLI

3x Dell U2211H monitors for NVSurround

Corsair TX750 PSU

Sandisk 120gb SSD, 3x SATA 1-2TB drives

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

 

I may entertain a new build once the next gen console come it since that's usually what drives gaming tech/graphics forward in general. Things have been pretty stagnant with the PS3 and 360 being so old, upgrading your processor has been relatively pointless as long as it's a decent quad core.

I wouldn't mind building a Hackintosh for some audio stuff...  Maybe one day...

wait, i don't think you understand... gaming is for gaylords.

 

no no, my build is to power complete 360 degrees 4K monitor setup to watch 12 eyefinity full HD full feature length porn movies of varying disciplines, while simultaneously watching HD broadcasted motorcycle racing of europe, asia, australia.

 

one handed.

we should stop posting computer specs and simply post the number of full 4K res porn we can simultaneously play on our quad 32" apple cinema displays mounted above the fireplace mantel.

I would love to upgrade the SSD and the video card in my PC, but my second monitor decided to die last night, and I use it quite a bit for audio editing.  I think the monitor will get repaired or replaced first.  I think I'm going to go for a 23-24 inch that's "full HD 1080" resolution to replace the 22 inch 1680x1050 monitors that I have now.
