Good overall. Fantastic processor. Capable video card. Adequate power supply. Nice couple of SSDs!

 

There's some healthy room to upgrade the GPU and displays, although doing so may require a beefier PSU. The rest of the system should be solid for a few years to come, and if you're already happy with your performance, then you're in a comfortable spot!

The only thing I can complain about in your setup is your keyboard really, but it's all really good :D

I hear you about the keyboard! This BlackWidow is the only Razer product I've ever purchased, and it's because it was at the time the best-valued mechanical keyboard with beautiful-sounding Cherry MX Blue keys.

 

I'm still undecided about what sort of keyboard to eventually upgrade to. I love the good ol' IBM Model M, but I'm useless without a Windows/Super key. 

 

Afraid I can only give you a 4 for your system, though. :P The CPU's a bit dated and the GPU is quite low-end. You've got a decent 1080p display, though ,and the system would work well for casual use and playing older/lightweight games. The 8 GB of RAM is good too.

Is it the 2013 Blackwidow version? Because I heard the 2014 version doesn't have Cherry MX switches.

 

And yeah, my system is less than impressive. It's like 4 years old now and was  already low/mid end at that point. It plays very casual games alright and Skyrim.. I not ideal, but it's possible. Will probably upgrade towards the summer.

It's much earlier than either one of those. I bought it in either 2010 or 2011, if memory serves. It's from the very first line of BlackWidow keyboards that they released. I actually had to do a tonne of Googling to find any information about it, since most of my searches brought up stuff about the new models or the (very similar) 2013 models. :P Even searching the base model number (RZ03-0039) brought up the 2013 version on Newegg since it's got a similar model.

 

Had to search the full model number - RZ03-00390100-R3U1 - to actually find what I was looking for. This thing seems kinda rare now! It's unavailable pretty much everywhere.

 

It's definitely Cherry MX Blue keys, though. That's why I bought it!

 

EDIT: Hoorah, found an old review for it! This keyboard was quite popular back in the day since it was competitively priced for having the highly sought-after MX Blue keys.

 

The keyboard really has held together quite well. I don't have any major complaints about it, although the plastic bits under the larger keys (like spacebar, shift, numpad 0, etc) feel a bit cheap in comparison to everything else, and the glossy finish really is a fingerprint magnet just like reviewers commented.

Awesome rig, would crush most games ect, but what is letting it down (imo) is the lack of custom water cooling, I just can't imagine it being too much of a looker.

 

Mine is a i5 4670k

ASUS Maximus Gene vi

Intel 530 series 120gb

DCUii GTX 760

All housed in a Sugo SG09 (most awesome small form factor case for air cooling imo)

 

(Oh, and I don't touch none of that windows shit. Ubuntu, running Gnome 3 for me.)

10/10

 

It's a solid performer that should tear through virtually all modern games. I just hope that you're pushing 1440p+ and/or 120/144 Hz with that hardware! It'd be a shame to have so much muscle and limit it to 1080p60.

Virtual machines, a business database application, games and because I got a Newegg gift card I wanted to use.

Sounds like a pretty good gaming setup. 10/10 would play on again.

 

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+

 

Mobo: Abit NF-M2PV

 

RAM: 4GB of old RAM that I don't know anything about

 

GPU: Some old Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series

 

Case: Thermaltake WingRS (Stores HDD's in the most beautiful way I've ever seen)

 

Storage: 2 dying 250GB Maxtor HDD's

 

PSU: A PSU that used to be 450W, but because its like 10 years old, it only outputs like 250W, so whenever I play games such as LoL, the GPU takes up so much power that the power supply can't handle it and just says "peace" and shuts off. I have to wait 10 minutes before queueing up for a game because of it. brb kms

Eeek... I'm sorry :( I would say maybe a 3/10 or 4/10 ? I think that may be being generous.

 

Reason for a higher rating is you actually have a GPU. But.. that's about it :/ I feel mean :'(

Looks pretty good! I would recommend a 256gb SSD instead of a 128gb one, or you'll only get space for the OS and not much more.
