6.2/10

Not a bad rig, Could use a Higher Motherboard...

Heres my rig

CPU: AMD A10-5800K (Clock 3.9GHz/Turbo 4.2GHz/OC 4.9GHz)

CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Seidon 120V All in One Liquid Cooler

PSU: Corsair CX500M

Graphics Card: None At Moment

HDD: 500GB Caviar Black Hard Drive

RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) G.Skill Ripjaws

Motherboard: Asus Crossblade Ranger (A88X Bolton D4)

Case: DIYPC Shadow-H01-W

Seems an ok budget system. Power supply isn't good, coulda spent less on the cooler perhaps to get a 6800k or so, but otherwise looks good!

@ AliveGhost13

Nice rig, i assume that you're a gamer?

Nice CPU, GPU is also great for gaming;

specs

Base Clock: 915 MHZ
Memory Clock: 6008 MHz Effective
CUDA Cores: 1344
Bus Type: PCI-E 3.0
Memory Detail: 2048MB
Memory Bit Width: 256 Bit
Memory Speed: 0.33ns
Memory Bandwidth: 192.26 GB/s

SSD & HDD, for speed and storage at the same time,

and 8GB of RAM is enough for gaming.

The only suggestion i have is getting better cooling to get the most out of your system.

Giving your rig an 8/10.

Thanks, yeah I am looking to upgrade to a Triton AIO sooner rather than later, and my PSU is a load of crap but it's too late now, and it has only failed once so can't complain that much

GPU is alright for my needs, it's far from the most powerful but considering it's almost 960 speed it's still good!

Your rig is probably an 8.5/10, it looks very nice for a mid end build with decent choice of components

(it's technically not built yet)

Well id say 9/10 since your storage is very good .

7/10, basically your typical mainstream Z87 build but still decent for 1080p

Rotom101 · May 1, 2015

How could i improve on it?

AdamSweitzer · May 2, 2015

How about mine?

scottyseng · May 2, 2015

How about mine?

I'd say 7/10. A SSD would really help you out. Quite solid for gaming though.

My PC:

CPU: Intel i5-2500K (Overclocked to 4.6 GHz at 1.398v)

GPU: Two Firepro V7900 in Crossfire Pro

Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V Pro

PSU: Cooler Master Silent M 700W

RAM: 16 GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Muskin Blackline

Case: Cooler Master Sniper Black

Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212+ (Two Delta 38mmx120mm fans on each side. 3600 RPM at 160 CFM)

RAID Card: LSI 9260-8i CV

Storage:

One 480 GB Sandisk Extreme 2 SSD (OS / program drive)

One 1TB Western Digital Black

One 2TB Western Digital Black

Four 4TB Western Digital Red (in RAID 10 on the LSI Raid Card)

Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster XL2370

Mouse: Steelseries Sensei MLG

Keyboard: Saitek Eclipse 3

Sound Card: HTOmega Claro Plus

Headphones: Sennheiser HD600

Fans:

Bottom: One 38mm x 140mm Silverstone FHP-141

Side: The original 230mm Cooler Master Fan (Will be replaced with two 120mm fans when I get around to it)

Front: One 38mm x 140mm Silverstone FHP-141 and one 120mm Delta Fan

Rear: One 38mm x 120mm Delta Fan (Same fan as the ones on the Hyper 212+)

Top: Two 38mm x 120mm Sythe Ultra Kaze Fans (If I had known about Delta fans when I bought these, these would've been delta fans as well)

Most of my PC are parts from 2008 / 2009 because the hardware hasn't died yet on me. I've just been adding stuff to it over the years (Like the RAID card / SSD drive)

The idle noise is pretty low considering the fans. I thought the delta fans would run louder than that, but they always stay at low speed (660RPMish at 38C). Load is 1400RPM at 68C on Intel Burn Test).

I have never managed to get the CPU hot enough (Even with Intel Burn Test) to make the fans run full speed.

I use my PC for content creation and coding; I'm not much of a gamer. I originally had a Radeon 4850 as my GPU but it started to artifact weird stuff in Revit (Like walls going through the roof of a building when they didn't exist). So that's why I have the FirePro cards.

The 60GBs are raided for use when I record gameplay, edit video, edit audio, or anything else that I need to write a large amount of data to a disk quickly but can't afford for it to be in a ramdisk.

7.5/10

Very weird choices. I've only ever seen 2 dual 760 setups. The motherboard is overkill as all hell, PSU 500W higher than needed and odd storage choices.

8/10 for your rig

8/10 for your rig

9/10 on yours. mostly becuase It's nicer than anything I'll ever own.

heres mine.

MOSTLY ALL CRAIGSLIST FINDS, even the desk and HDTV. only parts I bought at a store were the CASE, which was a reburbish SUPER CHEAP no name brand. and the mouse, which is a kensington that fits me perfectly and its really nice, but it was only 10 bucks on sale.

Core i3-2100 3.1 GHz

8GB generic DDR3 1600Mhz RAM

Intel DH61BE motherboard, very limited in upgrade options. bought this, the ram, and the cpu at the same time off craigslist for 80 bucks.

HD7850 2GB. bought on CL for 90 bucks awhile ago, good deal becuase it was newer then.

42 inch Emerson 1080p HDTV, bought for 120.

Seagate 3TB external USB 3.0 storage drive. gift. backup for the main drives inside the PC

internal 250GB and 750GB mechanical 7200RPM drives. refurbished actually.. scary I know...

craigslist desk, craigslist wired "gamestop" brand xbox 360 clone controller.

Colt .357 Trooper Mark 3 with super bright LED flashlight for if anyone tries to come inside my home without my permission. I may not have a lot of valuable things but I protect what I got.

lawro2001 · May 3, 2015

@mildtinnitus I would say a 7.5/10 for yours because it is fairly modern but that i3 is probably starting to fall behind now but everything else should hold up for a while. although I think its better than my rig.

I appreciate you trying to make me feel better. the sandy bridge core i3 I have is barely on the verge of "good enough" for most applications, but my HD7850 is on the decline now, a modern mid range card would kick its ass, and the mechanical hard drives are really not doing me any favors, the 750gb drive takes awhile to spin up when I need a file off it quickly. the only part in my PC that can carry over into a new build is the 2x4GB RAM sticks, which are only 1600MHz, not too fast by what you can get today.

but thanks for trying to make me feel better about it

Pretty awesome builds. 9/10. Much better builds than mine, though they consume more powa than mine.

Main Gaming Setup:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4590 3.3 GHZ, along with the Hyper 212 Plus

Case: Cooler Master N200

Mobo: Gigabyte H97M-D3H

Ram: 8GB of Ripjaws X 1866MHZ

GPU: Gigabyte r9 285 oced to 1210MHZ on the core, 1550 on the mem(I have the r9 280 in the back , from Club 3D)

PSU: Thermaltake Smart M 750W(don't worry, I've overclocked on it, having 5 systems put through it, even survived a power surge! ;D)

Fans: Default fan from Antec Sonata III(back) and Gelid Solutions FN PX12(front)

Monitor: Benq GL2460HM or Samsung UDe 4k monitor, just waiting for the 390x to come out.

ITX setup to kill consoles:

CPU: Athlon x4 860K(4GHZ, 1.33V)

Cooler: Zalman 12 Low profile cooler(pretty cool temps for something this small and cool, pun get it?)

RAM: Ripjaws X 8GB 1600MHZ

Case: Cooler Master Elite 110

GPU: Gigabyte r7 260x(didn't oc, for not)

Mobo: MSI-ITX AC

PSU: CX430M

Monitor: Any one you would like.

All in all, they didn't cost too much and I like VSR since I don't always want to plug and deplug my monitors all the time, until I have a much more capable GPU .
