Thinly veiled guts thread?
Total after everything is probably pretty close to $3500. Paid in full at time of purchases. Originally only had 8gb RAM, 1HDD, 1 980, and a shitty 720p TV. I had all the money at the time originally, but didn't think to need it, thankfully I left myself options.
Won't be "upgrading" for a very long time. Eventually the case and most of its internals will be salvaged and used as a home server / NAS. Likewise I'll make my current server / NAS my primary gaymen PC.
>>54108489
>12.5GHZ
Dank.
Probably around $2.5k without peripherals.
Peripherals are a das model s with browns (~$100), a $5 WMO, a 10 year old dell monitor, a 5 year old samsung tn monitor (~$100).
I'll probably buy a real monitor eventually, rather spend my income on other things right now. I have no intention of upgrading anything else for years to come, with the exception of another hdd if necessary.

It's fine, doesn't overheat even playing games. It's always in my bed and if I move it there's definitely a warm spot but not super hot. I do alway have a fan blowing near it which helps but mostly have it as I prefer having a bed fan.
The airflow on it is silly though, intake and out flow are both on bottom so it sucks up its own hot air lol

I'm probably going to upgrade to a Pascal/Polaris card this year. Other than that I might upgrade to Zen or whatever Intel releases as a response and I'll definitely get a second 500gb SSD.

I have a U2414H (I'm this guy >>54109068). It's almost perfect in terms of image quality and trust me, I'm very sensitive to stuff like uneven backlight, crosshatching, backlight bleed etc.

Seeing how I've always wanted to build my own "dream machine" through buying high-end parts with my own "hard-earned" money, probably a good 6-7 years like my now-past system I built in 2010. I quote "hard-earned" because I'm still single, still live with my parents, but was raised to have a good work ethiic. So like any fucking normie I got a job as a RN and started making my own money that way.

Not that guy, but it really depends on how good Zen is. There's no point in keeping it if AMD release an affordable 6 or 8 core CPU with similar or a bit weaker single threaded performance.

Intel
3570k
8gb of something or rather
gtx 980
windows, since it's a gaming machine. I prefer OS X, and use that + linux at work.
3. Looking to upgrade to a single 21:9 when one comes out that does 144hz, gsync and 1440p.
>financing a PC holy shit water u doin
next gpu upgrade will be a 1080ti or equivalent. Whatever the next flagship nvidia card is with HBM.
>>54109180
Nothing right now really uses 6 or 8 cores, so wait a few years until more things do before upgrading, that is a brand new quad core intel he has, no reason to "upgrade" even if something better comes out from zen.

Most likely when something's in dire need of an upgrade. Next on my schedule would be the CPU/Motherboard/RAM combo (e.g. skylake+DDR4), which I'm thinking might be come relevant if high-bitrate HEVC ever becomes pirateable.

They don't need more than 4 cores, but they benefit quite a bit from more than 4 cores. You can play most games on a GTX 560 ti, but you still see people having GTX 980s and 980tis. Maybe I want better, more stable framerate?
>but generally it's a couple of FPS
Regurgitating the same bullshit doesn't make it true. It's definitely more than a couple of fps which in itself doesn't mean anything. I'm talking about percentages and more cores and or threads will often give you 30-40%+ better performance in certain titles which is worth it, at least to me.

$900 cash for i7 4790k, 8GB RAM, GTX 970, Arch/debian/Windows 10, and 2 monitors (1680x1050 and 1280x1024, got them off craigslist for $30 and $40). I plan on upgrading it in 10 years or so. For the past 10 years I've had a emachines prebuilt PC with an AMD Sempron 3100+, 512MB and an integrated nForce 6100, so I'm pretty sure I can last another 10 years with my current set up.
>>54109625
5930k so as to make sure there was no benefit from extra PCI-e lanes, (there are, but even SLI 980Tis don't benefit much more than 5-10%)
>>54108420
Current setup around $1700 Australian funbucks
Home build
4th gen i5, can't remember which specific one but a higher end one
8 gigs DDR3
Gigabyte GTX 970 memecard
Windows 8.1, pirated and works well enough for now
Two monitors, one 21.5 inch 1920x1080 and one nice CRT that I use for a cheap second screen solution, might spring for a proper one soon.
Paid cash
Put this thing together about a year ago, no plans for any massive changes any time soon. Might overhaul the innards once VR headsets get a little more convincing.

Usually upgrade my GPUs yearly, replace everything every three or four years, or whenever a big advancement in CPUs hits.
>tfw I have one of the most expensive if not the most expensive battlestations in this thread yet the weakest components based on this listing
Leave it to /v/ to spend more on the CPU and GPU than on the peripherals, even though the peripherals are the most important component of a computer designed for human interaction.
>>54109860

oh okay.
Built my rig back in like 2011. Still fucking with same i5 2500k @ 4.5GHz. And let me tell you I have been cooking the fucker the entire time.
Upgraded the gpu twice, we 960 now. Totally fine for my casual ass for the next 3 years or so.
RAM is 8GB of 1600. I should probably remedy this next.
Windows 7 but I will likely upgrade to 10 for the fps meme. It is just a Steam machine basically, I do all my real work, fapping etc on linux

Dunno, whenever I feel like a change
Case is a powermac g5 that I picked up for $30, better than the piece of shit case I had at the time so I gutted it and put some epoxy down for the standoffs, and cut a hole for the io shield. If I had to do it again I'd mount the mobo vertically and just run extension cords to the stock back panel, but I think it turned out alright. Only thing left to do is get the front usb port working (just gotta fix the wiring). Macbook pro on the left is for work, its a top end mid 2012 retina 15". Gotta get the screen fixed (its cracked) but when I do I'm going to be putting arch on it. GPU on top of the speaker on the left is a 780ti.

>>When will you upgrade your battlestation?
Always upgrading something or another, got an M.2 SSD recently when I upgraded the mobo, got a CPU cooler not long after I bought it, a better case some time later. In terms of major upgrades I'll probably update the GPU in a couple years time, CPU won't be upgraded for the forseeable future.
>>54110157
Add another $10 to the HDD and double its capacity.
Not sure how massive and expensive of a cooler you think you need on a 6700k, even on a heavy OC.
Nothing wrong with bronze, if you want modular and gold add $50 for the 500w version.
Not sure what kind of case you're looking at, but in general most people don't need to spend >$120 for a quality case, even at mITX.
Even with all those values maxed out its still a lot closer to $1000 than $1500. By all means show me this magical $1500 system based on 6700k and GTX 960. I know it's possible with certain things like the stupidly expensive mobos or more / higher capacity drives. But the point stands, quality can be had @ ~$1000 for those base specs. Take off another $100 because 90% of people don't need the 6700k over the 6600k anyway, especially not for medium level gaymen with a 960.
>>54110262
Yeah, I've had a couple, this ones a Pioneer SX-580 that I got from a family friend (along with the tape deck). Sounds great. Have it hooked up to the denon receiver, it handles my computers and ps3.

i5-4690, 8GB, GTX 960, 1080p IPS monitor
Debian Stretch, Win10 strictly for games
Might upgrade the GTX960 when the new gen comes out. The only game I'm playing right now is SFV, which can be maxed out on my 960 so I don't really have the itch yet.
>>54109535
I just have them in SLI just because I can. Most games work fine in SLI, some cause stuttering even with the high frame rates. I have games running full-screen on one of the monitors (1440p with G-Sync, soon to be upgraded to a 4K with G-Sync) and it usually stays above the refresh rate of the monitor. It's not twice as strong as a single card, it's more like what three 970s with perfect scaling would be.
>>54109548
It's for LAN-parties or when the main battlestation is busy rendering videos. I rarely use it anymore. It was the first computer that I built for myself since I started really getting into computers. I'll probably use it as an HTPC at some point, but I'll need to replace it with a mini-gaming rig. I'll probably go with an i7-6700k and a Radeon DualPro or whatever the dual Fiji card is called.

I got it about a year ago. I wanted a DDR4 computer. I also wanted just the best possible thing I could get so I didn't have to deal with issues anymore. Overboard? Yes, but that was the point. I got it because I wanted to get more hardcore into video games.
Then, I realized that video games are pointless and were going to seriously hurt my life more than they already have. Wasn't worth it. Took it too seriously and even when I didn't, it was just such a stupid waste of time that it didn't matter. Was just running from my problems, ironically making them worse. Not to mention the gaming community is terrible, but I suppose that's what you get when you place a bunch of socially awkward people in one place that focus on a virtual world that means nothing.
The community was starting to ruin me the more I got into it. I had a friend who quit a few years back and bought a motorcycle and he said his life became so much better after he left. I did the same a few months ago. Haven't played a game since January and never will.
Got a Mac. Life is good. Nice and comfy now. There's your autism for the day. I'm sure (You) can handle gaming and it's totally not a waste of time (which is what I told myself too...) and I'm sure you're right and that you can handle it (no you can't), but I couldn't.

See no need for upgrades anytime soon, if anything maybe RAM to 32 GB, more HDDs (3.5 TB currently), maybe an SSD for Debian, maybe a new graphics card for Windows. Won't upgrade CPU until AMD makes something good for the first time in 10 years or Intel stops being jewish.

~$700 initially (late 2012/early 2013)
home built from parts
- gigabyte 990FX UD3 mobo
- FX8350 CPU
- EVO 212 cooling block
- EVGA GTX 760
- 2x 8 GB GSkill Sniper 1866 DDR3
- 620 W Antec Bronze PSU
- WD black 750 GB HDD (system)
- 2 TB Toshiba HDD (storage)
- ASUS blu ray burner
- ASUS DVD burner
- noname generic case
- some fans
- couple other misc support items
2x monitors, Dell U2412M @ $220 each (cost in addition to $700 main system).
About $500 other support equipment (performance USB flash drives, external enclosures & several 2 TB HDDs, router, switch)
Keyboards, mice, USB hubs, speakers all scavanged from previous systems, almost all of which was free from somewhere else or another.
~$210 in upgrades in 3 years
- MSI GTX 960 (last month)
- 250 GB MX200 SSD (system) (January)
All paid in cash (via credit card online ... I don't buy anything that doesn't get paid off by the end of the month).
A few small upgrades will keep this system running strong for at least 5 years, such as 2nd & 3rd SSDs for multi-boot system and at least one 4 TB HDD for storage. So, another $180-$200 in the next 12 months.
Will then spec & price out new home built system in ~2020 or 2021. Can't say more because most of that tech hasn't been invented yet. Probably under $1000 budget, maybe as low as $500 ... I buy quality parts for long-term use.
Old system (current one described above) will get relegated to some sort of home server/firewall function until it breaks beyond repair, which might be 2025 or later.

Wish to upgrade the 280x. Not sure for the 2500k.
No idea, but i reckon it was too much all in all. All was in my main until i built the fileserver/htpc out of my old cpu+mobo.
Also, Corsair Air 540 is amazing. Even with the fire cpu, everything is pretty alright considering ambient temp in this room.

AMD CPUs are shit, you're a retard if you are building an AM3+ machine right now. AM3+ hasn't changed since 2011, they are using 3rd party addon controllers for USB 3 and SATA because the chipset doesn't natively support half of modern shit.
Like I already told you, get a low end Intel CPU and a better graphics card.
If you aren't actually here for advice, go build your shitty computer and live with your shitty purchase.

I've been making minor upgrades such as adding more storage drives and changing some case fans, but I think my next big upgrade will be a new case since I like mine, but it feels and looks cheap considering the components I have inside. Idk when that will end up being though. I'll likely just cave once I see a deal for a case I like.

Not for another 5 years or so, since i just built it earlier this year.
A good chunk of the cost was finding a motherboard that supported AMD-Vi and had enough sata ports for 5 2tb drives and 2 512gb SDD. I didn't want to get a pci/pcie sata controller because i was worried with 2 graphics cards and the tv card i had all my slots would be in use or blocked. I was right.
