I5 3570k or something. Its good but old (2012) and suffering because i need thermal paste 8gb ran 120gb SSD for the OS and 280gb SSD for games. Some dvdrw drive who cares ive used it 3 times ever since i bought it Geforce 750gtx aka disappointment in a box. 32 inch 1080p monitor. Microsoft keyboard. Some kind of Gaymer mouse with two extra buttons and a lightshow LED thats annoying when im trying to sleep. All told i like the PC but i would happuly replace that gpu this year and the mobo/cpu next year if i can.

You can get quite a bit more data than i did last year this year, maybe 500gb for under 150

Frog Act posted:goons have so much loving money, look at these specs. god you could just save up. a very good gaming pc can be built for 8-900 usd and it will last you for 3-5 years especially if you upgrade stuff like your gfx card later. CPUs have hit a performance wall and my 6 year old i5 760 is just now barely starting to have trouble with newer games a good PC is literally the best investment, so much free entertainment..

The best upgrade I made for my PC in the last year is buying a Steam Link so I can play my games in the living room.

Frog Act posted:right now i have a Dell with the following guts You dont need more ram at all, 8gb is the minimum these days. I'd get a new case and the 1060 or a Rx 480 depending on how much you can spend. May wanna get a small ssd for Windows to run on too. Edit: just realized there is a really small 1060 out, it would fit

Frankenstein PCs are how people who dont have stupid amounts if disposable income to blow building entirely new pcs every year do. This SSD was bought back in 2011 and has been paired with 2 cpus 3 graphics cards 2 motherboards etc So yes it can. OEM pcs sometimes gently caress with form factor and poo poo to make it harder but it's almost always doable.

If you aren't planning on upgrading the CPU/Mobo anytime soon I'd personally bump up to 16 gb. DDR3 is probably as cheap as it's going to get. It'll only get more expensive as DDR4 gains traction.

I plunked down and got an i7 6700 with 8gb of ram from Dell outlet I could upgrade cheaply. Threw 32 more gigs of DDR4 in it coz I like to mess with 3d modeling and vm's and an SSD for the OS with a nights tips from the bar, recently finished it off with a gtx 1060, everything runs slick and cool and quiet, it's nice to have a nice computer again. Turns out video games kinda aren't as fun any more, but the eye candy does look nice.

treasure bear posted:Unless you're doing video editing/encoding or running virtual machines nobody needs more than about 10GB atm If you have 32 GB of ram or more you can make ramdisks and put your games n such on a ramdisk file and then mount that every time you want to play a game with essentially 0 load times. If you go this route, you should reevaluate your life choices and factor in how much 5 seconds agonizing loading screens ruins your days.

I'm a poor scrub. i3-4170 @ 3,7 GHz - box blue 2x8 GB RAM - blue MSI Z97-G43 motherboard, also blue Zalman 650 W active PS - black 1x 64 GB SSD with 550 MB/s RW - black 1 X 1 TB HDD 7200 rpm - aluminum 1 x 2 TB HDD 5400 rpm - aluminum and a loving red MSI 960 GTX 4 GB because the blue one died after one day and i couldn't get another one. This all packed with 3 fans a bigass CPU cooler in a Zalman mATX case. 850 € plays everything on high to ultra settings so far. I still need new screen so I can enjoy goatsies in HD.
