How much has your system cost you as a whole? I'm pretty curious

Re: The "Look what came in the mail" thread

No idea because I have nearly 2 full computers of hardware at this point. I'll add up the cost of the hardware currently in my computer.

CPU: $270
GPU: $400
PSU: $180
RAM: $160
HDD: $500
SSD: $170
Cooler: $60
Fans: $40
Cables: $50
Motherboard: $150
case: $120

= $2100

It's more like a $1300 computer though in terms of raw performance because adding more hard drives doesn't make it more powerful.\

Of course. And it is all well organized too.

Nice hardware, I was interested in putting in a 2nd 770 gtx and I have the money, but I really can't justify it in any way. I occasionally play games that can kind of utilize my card, but nothing would be able to use two of them in sli with 1080p monitors.

So, what do you play that requires that kind of power?

Re: The "Look what came in the mail" thread

I'm just a bit of an enthusiast I guess. I finally got the money to build a future proofed PC, so I did. I was playing FFR on a 1GB DDR2 ram, 512MB GPU 1.8GHz cpu toaster and was having lag issues. The upgrade was huge, but I'm really enjoying it. I guess I play cod ghosts which is a terribly optimized game so the better the PC the better for that. I play blackflag sometimes and TERA, and the occasional crisis 3. It's not because I needed the power, I just kinda wanted it[: And it allows me to play any game I want now without restrictions, but with finals coming up I've not been able to utilize this build's potential.

It's a dinky little flash game. Whatever your problems with FFR, they're not hardware-related, though some suspect it has to do with backwards compatibility.

My PC was falling apart, I was getting random lag spikes while on chrome, so even when using the standalone, I had lag.

Finally got this version of the 4th sharpnelsound album. 3 more albums to go for a complete discography!

Re: The "Look what came in the mail" thread

You should take a picture of all of them together.
