    Seanne1986 Yeah, I can't compete. Though that's a pretty good setup though. You overclock any of it?

    Roc, I could never maintain any of my laptops. Though it seems that one has some decent specs.

    Ayreon, You have any other planned uses for your beast? (Sorry if this turns into a thread jacking)


    6GB DDR2 RAM
    AMD Athlon II X2 3.0GHz
    GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H
    Hitachi 500GB HDD
    HIS RADEON HD 4670 1GB
    COUGAR 560W

    Nothing spectacular by any means, but I can run editing software pretty well, along with most games on medium high settings

    haven't had a single problem with this 'top, other than the internal HDD being fried by US/Canada Customs X-ray scans. Back and forth to school... 4-8 x-rays per month. Kerplowy.

    You got a solid PC being built there and yes it is pretty futureproof for a bit depending on your gaming tastes. I still personally refuse to add a SSD drive to my stuff. The price still isn't worth it to me. Couple years it'll be fine.

    My Current Rig [Built a few months back]:
    Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid Tower [Black]
    AMD Black Edition Phenom II X6 1100T [3.3GHZ] [w/ Cooler Master ThermalFusion 400 Paste]
    ASETEK 510LC 120MM Watercooler
    MSI 890GXM-G65 [AM3/AM3+]
    2TB Hitachi SATA III HDD [6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB Cache]
    8 GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 [PC3-12800]
    AMD Radeon HD 6870 [1GB DDR5]
    Black LG WH12-LS30K 12X Blu-Ray Burner
    XTREMEGEAR 700w PSU
    Windows 7 64-BIT Home Premium
    ASUS ML238 23" Monitor [1920x1080]
    + Other Odds/Ends Goodies

    I am very ready for Guild Wars 2. Lag while I PvP is NOT ALLOWED!
    This thing will OC like a champ as well. Been able to get it to 4.1ghz on all 6 cores and stable.

    I've overclocked my gfx card a little. GPU from 810 - 910 MHz, and memory from 1250 - 1330 MHz.
    I can overclock more without getting any artifacts. But I seriously don't see any difference in performance when I overclock more than that.

    Tbh.. I don't even see a difference between my settings and the standard settings.

    The way I boost my performance is 2 softwares called Game Booster and Vista Services Optimizer to shut down unnecessary programs. I've experienced 15-20 fps increase after using both them programs.
    My gfx card is far from the best there is also.. But if my motherboard was capable of crossfire, then 2x 6950 would be awesome.
