This is my new gaming PC. I call her Sandy. It was going to be Dusty, but then I thought that that's probably a bad thing to name a desktop, given how much dust they tend to accumulate.
She's got a 4GHZ CPU, 32GB of RAM, 1000W of power, water cooling, Corsair gaming keyboard and mouse, 5TB of storage, and the best graphics card on the market today, the Radeon 295X2, a twin-GPU card with 8GB of RAM and its own inbuilt water cooling. A 4K rig capable of 4K gaming, if only I had a 4K monitor, but I'm happy with the 24" I've got.
All ready for Star Citizen, bring it on! :D

*nods* Certainly will. To give you an idea, my first ever gaming PC I built in December 2008, and it cost me $2200. I kept it going for 6.2 years, and it played everything I threw at it. With this new rig I'm hoping to go for even longer, maybe even get to ten years if nothing breaks.
To be fair though I went way overboard on what was neccesary. I could have spent half of what I paid and still play every game ever made at maximum settings at 1920x1080. I just happen to have a really good job and wanted to futureproof myself, but I fully admit I went overboard on the spending.
But also take into account I'm paying the Australia tax on every single component. :P

Not really. I spent a year playing EVE onlnine on a 2.2 GHz dual core with 4 gigs of ddr2-800. lowest settings, i had 12 fps on good days, 5 on bad ones. IMO, gaming isnt supposed to be just about the shaders or who has the nicest gui, ii'm perfectly happy with crap for gaming, because im more interested in the gameplay and mechanics itself. Example: my current desktop cost me $570 last year. runs EVE online at medium settings, modded minecraft at full settings, and in both cases I still get around 20-25 fps, which is more than fine for me. I don't see why anyone can say they need dual graphics even, given most of the tech spec comparisons show its unnecessary in 90% of games. everyone just seems to want their numbers to be better than someone elses, reguardless of the games themselves.
