PC builds/specs by CraftingTheory May 23, 2017 at 4:05 PM UTC

Hi all, just wondering what set ups all of you have. There's probably another post like this, but I imagine people's PCs have changed since then, plus we have some new people on the server, so no need to resurrect dead threads.

I'll make a template to answer so it's easier for you all :D you can add cosmetic items such as cases as well, do so after the components!

PC PART LIST:
CPU:
Graphics Card:
Motherboard:
RAM (include speed if known):
SSD:
HDD:
Water cooled/Fan cooled?:
Estimate of PC cost:
Anything else!:

My own PC specs:
CPU: AMD FX4350 4.2GHz
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 750Ti
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M LX3 (some randy one, not too bad)
RAM (include speed if known): 8GB 1600 MHz
SSD: SanDisk Ultra II 480GB
HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB 7200RPM
Water cooled/Fan cooled?: Fan cooled
Estimate of PC cost: £400 (original) + £200 (upgrades) = ~£600
Anything else!: Dual band WiFi card (though I currently use LAN wired connection)

Might get a new motherboard/case/CPU for Christmas, though for now it's good enough to play avi!

Save up, building it yourself is cheaper- get a good motherboard and a good intel cpu with onboard graphics (the HD graphics kinda stuff) then you can save up for good graphics card, SSD, etc- add as you go :)

Thinking about going Dual CPU but would need to change a lot of parts like PSU, RAM and an extra Cooler

You'd need a new motherboard too, I don't think you can go dual CPU without a server-type setup (which aren't the best for gaming). You could probably do dual graphics cards, that would definitely give a performance boost, but dual processors isn't very feasible atm (a quad-core processor is actually 4 processors in one, so just get a CPU with more cores) as most programs can barely use 4 cores properly.

The program I need it for can use unlimited cores, and I can get a pretty good deal on two xeon E5 2658 v3. It's not ment for gaming and my fps will drop but don't really care

Don't know really. I used to use a better one... but it's just as old. I just know it can at least get that 40-100 fps cause of the graphics card.

That's really cheap, how do you survive with only 160GB of storage though? D; is it good for mc?

Since it was my own build, it didn't come with all that extra junk that is pre-installed, so that helped. Other than that I mainly have Minecraft and CS:GO on there, but I only have like 7 GB left on my hard drive xD.

My FPS is at least 60 with optifine, but maybe more on normal settings.

You could probably put a cheap graphics card in there and get a big performance boost!

I'd recommend getting a GTX 1050Ti (around £120) but if that's too much a GTX 750Ti (quite old, I have one myself but it's still supported - around £80 ish) or a GT 710 (£20, still better than hd graphics tho).

Even if you're getting a new PC soon, you can just take the graphics card out and stick it in your new one :D

980 sc is a beast, 1080 is a god that not many people need. Plus jump from 980 to 1080 isn't massive, 1080 Ti maybe, but 980 will last you years to come
