LOL, yes I know . . . . but I'm still intrigued. .  . I suspect most people will say gaming but you never know

 

I use mine mainly for Photoshop, and I used to use it for Skate 3 montages with Premirere Pro, and AE. . . I wanna start using it for gaming, so mainly what did you build yours to do? thanks.

Programming and benchmarking. My primary interest is the hardware side of computers and how to push that hardware to its limits, plus I rarely have time to play games anymore.

Mostly YouTube, Forums, eBay, office stuff and movies.

 

I don't really play many games for gameplay anymore honestly. I play most games just for the graphics.
