Can no longer tolerate other PCs

[unplanned bacon]

My rig's ruined my ability to tolerate other PCs. They're just way too slow now, don't have the horsepower, the features and don't look awesome 😛

Even my laptop which is actually no slower than it was months ago has just been completely shown up, and the PCs at work, although don't freeze, are just far too slow and uncomfortable.

Anyone else had this? If so, sound off!!! 😀

¬_¬ This should probably be in the systems forum

Not really a question, but I like your enthusiasm 😉 What's your rig?

I just built this and I LOVE it:
Xeon E3-1230v3 @ 3.7GHz
Asus Z87-A Motherboard
16gb G.Skill Ares 1866MHz CAS10
(2)Radeon R9 270Xs in Crossfire @ 1150/1500MHz
128gb Toshiba Q Series Pro SSD
Corsair C70 Case
Corsair K70 Keyboard


Benchmarks higher than a 4770k and Titan, 290X, or 780 all for a fraction of the cost

🙁 I forgot to tick the 'this is not a question box'

Right, spec
CPU: Intel 4570 @3.2GHz
RAM: 16GB @1600MHz
GPU: Asus GTX 760 OC with Nvidia Boost clock
Board: GigabyteH87 HD3
Storage: 4.1 TB. 2 x 2TB HDD (WD Green and Black) and 1 x 120GB SSD (Samsung 840 Evo)
WiFi: 2.4Ghz 802.11N
Optical drive: 16x Blu Ray
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus
Keyboard: Logitech K360. I don't use this for gaming. I use a 360 controller (I started on a controller, so there!)

It's not on your rig's level, and I cheap out in one or two places (£50 more = upgraded graphics, downgraded RAM, overclock capable), but for my first one I think I did a good job. The reliability is pretty much perfect (no lie). Given how it started out that's a huge achievement. It takes everything on high. There's the odd game that it won't do (Watch Dogs)

What annoys me though, the same rig in the states with the exact same parts is £300 less! I sometimes look at Amazon's offerings for rigs and I just lol at a lot of them, some are actually pretty good.

Awesome rig! I play with a 360 controller as well (love Big Picture Mode!)

Glad you're enjoying your badass rig!

It does have the occasional random mess up though, but for the most part it's rock solid. It's FAR better than how it was when it first went live
