what gpu do u have?

[ShadowedZenith]

Since everyone else is posting specs, I might as well join in!

32GB DDR3 1600MHz
Intel i5 3570k OC'd to 4GHz (With Cooler Master V8 Heatsink IIRC)
EVGA Nvidia GTX 670 (for when I feel like setting up SLI)
2 2TB Hard Drives, 1 1.5TB Hard Drive, 1 500GB Hard Drive (for Linux), Multiple External Hard Drives, 1 120GB SSD, 1 64GB SSD
Razer Naga Mouse (Got it on sale for something like 40-50 when I bought it)
Razer Marauder Keyboard (I love Star Craft >.>)
Razer Banshee Headset (Again, I love Star Craft >.>)
Windows 8 w/ Start8 Start Menu Replacer and WindowBlinds (because Metro is ugly)

I actually have no DVD drive due to a power supply issue. All of its SATA cables are being used on my harddrives, and the 1 that's left isn't long enough to reach to the DVD drive. It came down to a decision between a Hard Drive and a DVD drive. Clearly the Hard Drive won.

i7-3630QM @ 2.40 GHz
8GB RAM
1TB HDD
GeForce GT 650M
Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 (bulkiest mouse in existence)
Windows 8 x64
17" screen, 1600x900
See, I thought my specs were good. I suppose they are for a $900 Dell laptop.

So hopefully, I can get more stuff done now

Well, a better computer isn't always the solution to getting more stuff done. While better hardware can improve it, most of the time it doesn't. I've actually written a few programs on my iPhone, now that is an awkward keyboard to code on, especially when you need symbols a lot!
Besides the most efficient system is a perfect balance between CPU clock speed, CPU cores/threading, RAM speed, RAM quantity, Hard Drive read/write and various other specs that I'm not going to list... More of one does not make it faster, because you're still being limited by the other choke points.
To put an analogy in, its like having a pipe that carries 1L of water per square metre, no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to pump more than 1L per square metre into that pipe. Or to invert the analogy, what is the point of installing a pipe that carries 10L when the maximum load will never exceed 1L of water. The same applies to computing/technology, we must strive for balance, not large amounts of RAM, or beasts of CPUs, without concentrating on the other components too, balance gets us speed, imbalance gets us expensive, show-off-to-your-friends-how-much-money-you-have, paperweights.

Clearly you haven't seen the Logitech G700.

how?!


My turn for specs I guess:
Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz
2 x 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 (woo ) but when that isn't enough power, on turns....
AMD Radeon HD6750M 1024 MB
750 GB HDD
15" 1680-by-1050 and 23" 1920-by-1080 displays

Soon-ish I will be upgrading to a new system, it will improve the following

Spoiler

2.2 GHz i7 —> 2.7 GHz i7 (several generations newer, yay all the other things Intel has added since)
8 GB 1333MHz RAM —> 16 GB 16000MHz DDR3
750 GB HDD —> 512 GB SSD (maybe I'll splurge and get the 768 GB SSD)
AMD Radeon HD6750M 1GB —> NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1GB of GDDR5
(by the time I get it, it should have this) 802.11n —> 802.11ac
15" 1680-by-1050 and 23" 1920-by-1080 displays —> 15" 2880-by-1800 and 23" 1920-by-1080 displays

[M4sh3dP0t4t03]

My specs are:
Intel i5-2450M
NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M
8GB RAM
500GB HDD
15" 1366x768 build-in-screen
external 23" screen with Full HD
Edit:
I also want to build a new PC soon that has:
Intel haswell i5 but I haven't decided which one yet
GeForce GTX 660 TI
8 GB RAM

I'm considerably rough with my Windows installs. As well, in the past few months, I've had a few rough encounters with self-replicating viruses which have forced me to literally reformat every drive I have, losing a countless number of 3D models (I didn't realize until it was too late that my backup utility had failed to backup my computer for about a 3 month span and that my Virus scanner had the same thing happen, it had failed to scan for about 3 months).

Basically, how it works out is the 1.5TB Hard Drive stores everything. That's about 450GB worth of games, 100GB of applications, 100GB of music, and 100-200GB worth of videos. So, that's about 800GB worth of stuff. Then I back up my Windows install to that drive as well, keeping about 2-3 backups at any given time, so another 180GB right there. After that, I back up the 1.5TB to both of the 2TB drives.

The 64GB SSD is currently unused until I get a chance to install Linux Mint on it. I normally only use my Linux partition as a virus scanner and test environment until I get a MB that supports IOMMU and an i7 processor, which then I'll be officially migrating to Linux. I'm mosting wanting an MB with IOMMU for virtualization of Windows so that I can run my Windows install on top of KVM or Xen with GPU passthrough so I don't lose any gaming by migrating to Linux.

Haha, thanks. Figured doing that would be easier than copying down the specs from it.

Why do you think I have 2 displays My ultimate goal is 3 x 27" displays
1 to the left for social media, entertainment, etc (Facebook, Twitter, Skype, iTunes/Movie, etc)
1 to the right for reference materials and other such things I use but not the main focus
1 in the middle for the main thing I'm doing
