Rate The PC Rig Above You

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rule is quite simple. Just rate the rig (or the specs of the pc) above you . The lowest rating is 1 and the highest is 10. This is basically a thread for people who want to know other people's thoughts on their rig or just for people who want to discuss their rig. You can post a picture of your rig and the specs but posting the specs would be just fine.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will be using this rig mostly for studies and learning video game programming on Unity 3D but I already have quite a few games and some of them are Skyrim (I play on high settings), Dota 2, Minecraft and League of Legends. There are still more than ten I haven't mention plus I'll be putting Arkham Origins, Red Alert 3 , Fallout 4 and Black Ops 3. I am not a gamer but I do on planning to mod the crap out of Skyrim. I'm quite confident it won't crash with all those NPC overhauls, graphic enhancers and unofficial patches.

Specs:

Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 2333

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 460

Processor: Intel i7 Quad-Core

RAM: 4GB (but screw that http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/new-testing-suggests-pc-games-dont-need-more-than-4gb-of-ram/)

Storage: Local Disk is around 170GB and the Drive around 350GB.

Oh, awesome thread!

Above PC, 2/10. Sorry, but I don't know what CPU you're using.

My PC (I just put my rig together using PCPartPicker since it's easier than listing every part, and I couldn't post a picture):

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jqBZxY

Note: I will be selling my 980Ti, and upgrading to most likely a 1070 when it releases.

EDIT: Now that I know the above PC's CPU, it's new rating of mine is a 5/10.

@battlestreak: Thanks!

You better change that rating mate cause I'm running an Intel i7 quad core. :0

As for your PC, I'll give it an 8.

Rig above me already rated, mine is in my sig

Mine:

• Monitor: 55" Samsung 1080p TV
• CPU: Core i7 4770
• Ram: 16 gb, dual channel hyper x
• HD: Intel Pro SSD 128gb + SSD/ mech hybrid 500 gb with 8 gig SSD
• GPU: GTX 970 oc edition

Going to upgrade to a gtx 1080 if I can nab one at release. I really need to get around to selling some stuff, have a lot of gaming peripherals just sitting in a box.

@KBFloYd: I really need an i7, that 8350 is slowing me down on some games

@thehig1: deleted my post sorry...pimphands post didnt show up when i posted mine and everything got out of wack :P

Anyone mind rating mine? I wasn't able to post the processor before it was rated.

seeing as the gpu is the most important component...id say 5...

@KBFloYd: It can run Crysis well, I shit you not but thanks.

@pimphand_gamer: Gotta rate that an 8.4 man. You're way ahead at me with the GPU. Lol

Nothing above me to rate so here's mine:

• CPU: Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz
• GPU: Radeon R9 380 Sapphire Nitro 4GB Edition
• RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1600MHz
• Storage: Kingston SSD 240GB + Toshiba HDD 1TB
• PSU: Superflower Golden Green HX Series 650W

7/10 I'd say your PC surely plays games just fine!

• CPU: i5-4690k @ 4.4ghz
• GPU: GTX MSI 980ti 6GB golden ed.
• RAM: 16GB (dunno the speed)
• Storage: Samsung 840 EVO
• PSU: EVGA 1000W Gold

Mine is in my sig but for some reason they aren't working anymore on the site....???

^ 8. No worries, I know your rig. You forgot to rate Doozie78's rig.

Rig in sig.

@rocketraccoonthingy: Haha, okay. Changed.

Nice I guess, lol.

I'm not that good at rating rigs because it all depends on what kind of gaming usage you are planning on putting it through.

There is nothing before my post , mien in my sig.

Well I'll go ahead and rate @doozie78 's rig then. I give it a 9/10, top-notch parts indeed. I'd give it a 10 but I usually avoid rating with an absolute perfect score. :P

Ours are quite similar...

• CPU: I5 3570K at 4.5GHz
• GPU: Gigabyte Gaming G1 GTX980Ti
• RAM: 16GB 1600MHz
• Storage: Samsung 850 Evo, Intel 330 + 2 HDD for 4TB
• PSU: EVGA G2 1300W

@horgen:

8/10 - Would have given a 9 but PSU is overkill...why the 1300W? Other than that, close to top notch performance for a reasonable price. The G1 is bonkers!

My PC(s):

Gaming PC - Lian Li PC-08WX, i7-6700k 4.4ghz w/ H105, 16GB Dominator Platinum DDR4 3000, EVGA 980 Ti SC (soon to add a second), EVGA G2 1000, MSI Z170A SLI Plus, Samsung 850 EVO V-Nand 500gb, Intel 730 Series 240gb

HTPC and Productivity - In Win 901, i5-4690k, 8GB Hyper X 1866, EVGA 750 G2, 1TB SSD, Intel 530 120gb SSD, ASUS Z97i Plus. No GPU yet.

Crappy sideways cell phone picture...

@wizard:

Obvious 10 for your gaming rig, 5 for your HTPC - lopped off 2 minimum for no GPU.

Case: Bitfenix Prodigy

MB: AsRock Z77 ITX

CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 (Ivy Bridge) 4 x 3.4 GHz

HDD: Western Digital Black 2TB

Peripherals:

Logitech G105 keyboard

Logitech G602 mouse

Wireless Xbox 360 controller

Sennheiser HD515 headphones

I'll be happy with a 6 or a 7.

@battlestreak: Thanks! A bit small for a non gamer's PC but hey, it's better than a 2. :D

@wizard: Nice picture.

I hadn't planned to buy a PSU with that high wattage, however it was so close in price to G2 1000W so I thought why not. What I didn't mention in my post is that I also have an older GPU running full 24/7. I do a lot of folding for folding at home. So I got a bios modded GTX 680 pulling some power. Everything is water cooled so I got a pump and 12 extra fans to power because of that :P

5820k @4.5ghz

16gb DDR4 2800mhz

GTX 970 G1

2x SSD raid 0, 1 HDD 500gb

@04dcarraher: If 1080p and 60fps is your goal, then I'll give you 9/10 (since you are overclocking your GPU and I assume your CPU as well)

@Dark_sageX:

yep

sick of the console BS. With the new ps4.5 and Xbox scorpion Im switching over for good. Building my new rig based on the gtx 1080

6700k skylake (watercooled)

32gb corsair vengance LPX DDR4 3200

Samsung EVO 850 500 GB SSD

GTX 1080 (when ever i can get my hands on it)

Unfortunately i dont have a 4k tv yet but ill be playing on a Samsung 75" LED. (waiting on OLED to come down in price for this size)

@steveo2000: I give it an 8/10, mobo is missing... and you haven't built it yet, so it might change.

3570k at 4.8Ghz

AsRock Extreme 6 z77 (nothing fancy)

GTX 970 Strix

8GB RAM at 1600Mhz

Intel 120GB SSD, 2TB WD Blue

@GTR12: 8 / 10

A PC almost any PC gamer would be happy to own, but to get a higher grade I would think a higher end GPU would be needed or SLI. + you didn't mention your monitor.

Mine

Asrock P67 Extreme 4 motherboard

Corsair TX650 PSU

CPU - Intel Core I7 2600k @ 4.3 ghz

Memory - 12 GB Gskill @ 1866 mhz

GPU - ATI 5870 (Soon to be an Nvidia 1070 GTX)

256gb Samsung 840pro solid state drive

ASUS 4k monitor

Rokkat Pure Opitcal mouse

Ducky Shine II keyboard

Built it in Sept 2014. Seen no reason to upgrade.

I am also building a bartop arcade. I am just waiting for the power supply and speakers to be delivered before I finish it.

For the bartop arcade I went low end.

Pentium 3258

4GB RAM

GTX 750 ti

@RyviusARC: You didn't rate my rig, follow the rules :D

I would rate yours a 6.5/10 currently and 8/10 with the GTX 1080.

8.5/10. I see no reason for you to upgrade now either, plus you could always do it on the cheap with another 8gb of RAM and overclocking the CPU.

I built a new rig last weekend and these are the main parts. I have a 970 as a placeholder until the non-reference 1080s come out. I haven't overclocked yet because I prefer to stick with stock speeds for a year or two. My old case was a £40 Coolermaster so it's so nice to have one with some quality cable-management.

@whalefish82 Hmmm...I'm going to say 7.5 to 8.0 with the current parts. Closer to 8 if you've got some speedy ssd's, or an m.2 and the GTX 970. Once you get your 1080, it's easily 8.5-9+ depending on the other little goodies you add (cooling, etc.,).

Mine copied from my sig:

CPU - i7 6700k @ 4.8GHz with Corsair H110 280mm Liquid Cooler

MOBO - ASUS Z170-A

Storage - 4x Crucial MX200 500GB SSD's

GPU - SLI MSI GTX 980Ti's Gaming 6GB

Memory - 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 @ 2668 MHz

PSU - Corsair RM 850 Gold+

Misc - Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 Speakers, Acer Predator XB271HU 2560x1440p 144hz G-Sync and a couple of extra fans because I like the way they look. =D

@joseph_mach:

I'll give that a sexy/10. I almost bought that case.

I bought all of this except for the video cards because they're not out yet. Rampage V Edition 10 just got preordered on Newegg. I'll add two more EVO's after I'm not broke.

@whitey_rolls: BenQ FP241W, $1000 top of the line monitor, but it died on Sunday after 10yrs, so I'm left using a cheap HP 23vx until a monitor I like comes along.

24-26" 100Hz+ IPS/OLED, 10bit colour minimum, 1200p or 1440p with DP/DVI/2x HDMI ports and at least 2 USB ports. Those are must haves for me, anything else is a bonus.

@GTR12

• ^Cheap Monitor: -1/10. I give 9 credits for your old monitor but since it died, I deduct 8 credits..... so that now brings you to 0/10
• I'll go ahead and give you + 1 credit for your dream monitor you mentioned. You now have 1/10.
• But I didn't see you mention your rig....so I deduct 1 credit. You are now back to 0/10 in my book :)

*Edit: I now saw where you mentioned your specs. But the rules are for rating for above post....so rules are rules so I can't give any credit now.

where's your rig? 0/10

mine's in sig.

@joseph_mach

Thanks, I already had the other parts including SSDs and a huge air cooler.

Mine already got rated, I replied to the person that asked what monitor I had.

No one ever rated mine. Fail.

;_;

@saintsatan: Damn, that is one monster PC! ROG Swift is great from what I've heard, and with 2 GTX 1080s, you'll be set for a long while. 9.5/10, only curious as to why you need 32 GB of RAM and at 3200. Kind of overkill, but to each his own :)

As for me, a bit more modest of a build. Made it last summer for gaming at 1080p. Wanted to max out all settings and have it play games at decent settings for at least a few years.

^^^ 7/10 Nice system

@saintsatan Yours gets a solid "still in the shop/10" :) Seriously though that'll be a fine system which will definitely score a "f*cking expensive/10"

Mine

• i7 4770: 4.3Ghz CPU
• Corsair H105i cooler with Aerocool Fans
• Gygabyte Motherboard (I can never remember mobo numbers :) )
• 16GB Avexir 2400 DDR3 Ram
• Zotac 980Ti Amp Extreme GPU
• Superflower 1000w PSU
• Samsung 250Gb SSD
• 1x 1TB HD, 1x 2Tb HD
• Asus ROG Swift 27" monitor
• Logitech G19 Keyboard
• Roccat Tyon Mouse
• Corsair 5.1 Gaming headset
• Thrustmaster Warthog Flight system
• Wrapped up in a Corsair 600T white case

I wanted all 8 slots filled. x99 works best when the ram is spread out as much as possible. Yeah it's a big waste of money but it wasn't expensive. $125 on a $6k build ain't gonna hurt. Parts are starting to come in...

8/10 The nice peripherals and quality parts jumped it up a notch

• 4.2GHz Phenom II X4 w/ 3GHz IMC
• 8GB DDR3 @ 1667MHz (7-7-7-13-1)
• Radeon HD 7950 @ 1.2GHz w/ 3GB VRAM
• 750w OCZ Fatal1ty + 550w OCZ Fatal1ty
• 2x D-Tek Fuzion II waterblocks
• 4x 120mm 152cfm Delta fans in case
• 4x 120mm 130cfm Delta fans on Hayden 403 transmission cooler
• 2x 250gph pumps
• Rosewill Thor v2 case
• 42" Haier 1080p HDTV
• 23" Acer 1080p monitor
• E-Blue Mazer II gaming mouse
• A-Jazz keyboard w/ red or blue LED keys

It's a bit old, but it still maxes just about every game at 1080p/60Hz. I'm waiting for Summit Ridge (Zen) and Vega 10 and deciding then what CPU and GPU I am upgrading to.

Too new to pc gaming to rate but this is what I have coming in a few days from Ncix

I7 6600

Corsair liquid cooling

32 GB RAM

Asus Gtx 1080

PSU 600w

B150 mobo

120 GB SSD

1tb hybrid

Mine is coming along. If only I could find some 1080's in stock...
