My PC is actually a laptop~.
Toshiba Qosmio X775
17.3″ screen @ 1600×900, second monitor 42″ at 1920×1080
Intel Core i5-2410M @ 3.5Ghz
Nvidia GTX 560M 1.5GB
6GB DDR3 RAM
Western Digital 600GB HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Run everything and anything without problems, though the only issue is that it heats up horridly on the left side.

I just recently got my upgrade PC.
AMD Phenom II @ 3.5 GHz CPU
Nvidia Geforce 610 GT 1 GB DDR3
4 GB DDR3 RAM
Hitachi 1 TB HDD
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, because I find that the Pro version is the most stable.
If any of you guys’d like to add me on Steam and play a round of CS:GO or Trouble in Terroist Town on Garry’s Mod my ID is playersbro, just like my screen name here. Happy PC gaming, guys! Also, Anthony, you did well for a 600 dollar budget, so good job, also to Nick for helping you out with it.

Man, there sure are an awful lot of Edgewalker’s on Steam!
Mine is AlephNull if anyone wants to add me.
Quad Core i5 2.8GHz CPU
AMD 6850 1GB
8GB DDR3 RAM
A 1TB hard drive, the make of which I cannot remember
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
I’m just using my Samsung SyncMaster 2333HD TV as a monitor. Works a treat! But I need (like, REALLY NEED) a battlesation after seeing my friends for the first time.
While I love my comp, it runs everything really well, looking at the rigs some of you guys have makes me jealous!

Nick, that’s a great machine, but you could use a graphics upgrade.
And Anthony, you’d be better off with a cheaper cpu (g620 or g840) and a more powerful graphics card.
I though have a bit of a dated system with a phenom II x2 550, it used to run great with all 4 cores enabled, but recently it started to crash if I enabled even only 1 of the disabled cores. I also have 4 gigs of ddr3 ram, a 1gb version of the GTX460 and an asynchronous dual monitor setup.

Well, because of the 32-EFI she can’t accept newer GPUs, it’d be pointless to get a new card. I just need a whole new machine so I can have 64-bit architecture.

You could sell off the LGA775 platform, and get yourself an ivy bridge i5. Depending on your needs, you could have either an Z77 or a H61/H67 motherboard and you just have to add in the needed amount of DDR3 RAM and you’re good to go, the graphics card is still good for about 2 years.
But since it’s windows and you’d be swtiching motherboards, you’ll have to reinstall the OS.
Damn shame about the EFI, since otherwise it’s a really great platform

Here’s mine.
Dell Studios XPS 7100
AMD Phenom II X4 945 Processor 3.0GHz
6 Gigabytes of RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series
1.5 TB of memory
It runs well on what I have played, and looks great using my 32 in Vizio as a monitor. Also I really need to get back into Diablo 3. Its been a long while since I’ve played it.
