Posted March 24, 2014 So i have been reading a lot of post from people with high end pcs and that got me thinking, who out there has a low end pc? I think a lot of people would be surprised by how well a cheap pc can get the job done. Post your specs below. My specs are: Intel core 2 duo e6850 @ 3.0 ghz 4gb ddr2 @ 800mhz nvidia 9800gt 512mb 400 watt psu unknown mobo 640gb wd black nzxt guardian 921rb I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.

Posted March 24, 2014 I have an E8800 @ afaik 2.6ghz Asus PB5 Premium mobo 8gb ddr2 GEIL dunno the speed (but its the Dragon one ) hd5870 1gb (way overkill for the use but hey ^^) CX500m psu (had to buy a new one) some crappy 320gb HDD Random Case. Its fairly good but still sucks quite bad. Everything is super slow but i guess you can mostly blame that on the HDD. It is my mothers and i'll probably upgrade the cpu/mobo/ram and HDD some time in the future.

Posted March 24, 2014 My main PC has an FX-6300 and a GTX 760. My laptop has an A6-3410MX with integrated graphics at 1,6 Ghz. 8 gigabytes of RAM. Believe it or not, it also has Dual Graphics Radeon 6520Gs at 400 MHz. When I bought it it cost like 800 euros because Dual Graphics just came back then. Potatoes are good for your nostrils.

Posted March 24, 2014 Both of my computers (specs below), my main pc does the job, but it is definitely not a gaming machine, i am planning to put a gpu some day but because i don't game that much i don't really care for now. And i got my netbook for free so i can't complain and it also does the job, although in a very slow way but it works. Also i don't like spending a lot of money on hardware because i don't have a job and i hate asking my mom for money but slowly my computer has been upgraded, the only 2 things missing are the gpu and a new case, the latter i will hopefully get next month.

Posted March 24, 2014 When I was a kid my dad built me a computer with a single-core athlon and some very old ATI card. Played counter strike and thats all I needed. I've also still got my old build with an i5 760 and radeon 6870, but thats not nearly as old, just outdated.
