That's one baller 1st rig! What is it living in? 

[Akula]

I can't even remember the specs, was easily 5+ years ago :o

[fishymamba]

Same as the one in my signature. Except for the motherboard.

 

I got a MSI P67-GD55 on the original build, but I won a Intel DZ77RE-75k in a sweepstakes so I started using that instead.

[joelthezombie15]

CPU Intel Core i3-3220 3.3GHz Dual-Core

 

Video Card HIS Radeon HD 7870 2GB

 

I noticed this as i was looking through but, i think that your CPU is bottle necking the 7870 by a noticable bit, any reason you chose a i3 and a 7870?

[Loe]

I built a computer 1-2 years ago in a 3 day college course with just random parts they gave us. However the PSU was already installed along with the motherboard standoffs and the cpu was already in the motherboard and the thing didn't boot but yeah, that was my first experience building a computer. Admittedly the motherboard wasn't labelled for front panel headers and the instructor showed us the wrong diagram and the right one was upside down.

 

I have also de-constructed my old pc that is now been thrown out and started it with a screwdriver and it worked very slowly, probably     because of the high dust filled parts and HDD filled with viruses I believe.
