Who has the most overkill setups for the intended use?

[STRMfrmXMN]

People who buy Macbook Pro's and Alienware laptops and use them as Facebook machines make me want to punch things.

[Mentalguy]

A Mac to use FaceBook, Freaking overkill, Just get a Raspberry Pi

 

(That was a joke, I have a mac )

he said overkill, not overpriced

[connorpiper]

You have a 5.1GHz 3770k and a 212 Evo for cooling? F**king bulls**t!

 

Task manager. That's actually 4.0GHz.

I have a 6GHz 3570K to windows.

Oh sorry, I didn't read the title hahaha

[Toddwjp]

for example: running 4 980s in quad-sli for 1080p gaming. people might say my rig is overkill, but i need a solid productivity machine as i am doing computer studies for GCSE and A-level and want to pursue this as a career. 

so, who here has the most overkill rig for their use?

 

ha this is funny. you wouldn't even need that rig for a computer science degree.

[UltraNeonGaming]

That rig has the recommended specs from ubisoft to get a min and max of 30fps

I have dual 290X DC2OC paired with an 8350. Got them for mining. Don't any more as the difficulty sky-rocketed. Now I just use them for gaming on a 1080p monitor which is not only overkill but unusable. 8350 holds back dual 290X's, a lot.

[UNFKNBLVBL]

my 4690 has a corsair h55 liquid cooler only because it looks better through the window

[Kingofpants]

Not actually mine.

[StarFire]

TBH, if I installed windows, this would be right about right to run everything at medium.

[Mush Brain]

I would say mine is slight overkill at 1440p, but i want to max games for more than 10 minutes.

[Sandvich]

i7 for gaming (what it was cheaper then a i5 at the time).

[faziten]

i7 laptop... 9gag until fall asleep.

[Briggsy]

290 crossfire for 1080p gaming... I absolutely hate framerates dropping below 60 at max settings, especially on a 32'' screen where its more noticable.

[Lord Gaben]

My Aunty inherited an imac, 16GB for web browser (one tab at a time) also 2TB for literally nothing

[ManWithBeard1990]

I have a case that's 75 cm tall and has 8 120mm fans and it just holds an APU.

[alby800]

My $1100 AUD "Gaming PC" is used for browsing the forum 90% of the time

[GhostWindGamer]

My $1100 AUD "Gaming PC" is used for browsing the forum 90% of the time

My $700 system is used for gaming 60% and the forum the other 40%

[phillrulz]

780ti for runescape. 

[alby800]

780ti for runescape. 

LOL, you can run that off like, a carrot or something

[phillrulz]

LOL, you can run that off like, a carrot or something

You would be surprised but it does take a little power, when i had my 650 it couldn't keep 50fps 

 

[Slinkey]

Play League of Legends and BF4, don't think it is "complete" overkill.

[district_11]

my downloading/web browsing machine receives a lot of comments about overkill.

 

4670k, H75, Gryphon Z87 mobo, 8GB 1600Mhz ram, 250GB SSD boot drive, 4TB HDD, RM550 PSU

no it is thil laging for me on fb

[ccaian]

I aced the GSCE O level computer studies and im pursuing a diploma now. My GPA is 3.58.

 

Its actually not that bad. The subject that people fall behind the most on is Enterprise Information Systems and Programming. Programming is that sort of thing where if you lack the fundamentals, everything is fucked up. EIS is sort of like the business aspect of IT, and its pretty meaty. Discreet math is okay if you put in effort.

 

And by the way, I use a macbook with jgrasp for programming. So no, you don't need any sort of powerful rig unless you're like taking CAD stuff.
