Just thought it would be cool to see your before and after pics of your Pc's. 

(Either before you upgraded and after you upgraded your pc. Or your old pc and your new one.)

Showing your before and after specs would be cool too.

 

Should have a post of mine by Christmas.  :P 

The biggest bottleneck is the Aussie internet..

Anyway I guess I can show my desk setup and old ass budget computer for the time being.

 

Setup - Samsung TA550 | Flatron E2411 | PS3 Slim | Audio Technica ATH-M50x | iPhone 5s | iPad Air | Logitech Z506 Surround | Some basic Logitech Keyboard & Mouse (Has served me well) | Old PC |

http://i.imgur.com/GrGE9p9.jpg?1

 

Old PC - Intel i5 650 @ 3.2 | Stock CPU Cooler | Nvidia GTX 260 | 2 x 1 TB HDD's | Some old foxconn/intel motherboard | 450W PSU |

http://i.imgur.com/iBhSfLJ.jpg?1

 

So thankful that I'm getting a new PC even though this one has served me well for the last 3-4 years.

(Should also be upgrading my mouse & keyboard in the near future).

 

Edit: Yes, I'm aware of how messy the cables are. This will be fixed in the new build.

Nice, but I'm starting to regret creating this post. All of these builds are killing me. Why when you want something in life, everyday feels like a week?

I know that feel...

 

As for my build/setup, the only things I purchased are the heatsink, case, PSU, keyboard, and side/end tables... Everything else was lying around at home so I put them to good use...

Same thing with me. On my new PC I'm getting the CPU, HDD's, Mobo, Ram, Heatsink and PSU for free. Obviously I  still gotta purchase everything else. Also may I ask how much your current PC costs? My new one is going to be around $1600.  ;)

Edit: That price is just for the PC btw.

Initial cost was around 490USD including peripherals... Upgrades raised the price to around 700 USD... The most expensive part that I personally bought was that 260X...

The only original part is the memory and one SSD.  

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

There have been many wars that have rocked the face of Earth, Many have heard of WWI, WWII, The Cold War, The Vietnam War and the Iraq War. But there has been a war that only a handful of humans know.....AMD vs Intel. It all started in 1985 when Intel released the first 32bit processor, the Intel 386. This war has been raging on for decades and Intel and AMD are still at each others throats. Fanboys have been ruthlessly killed, motherboards have been short circuited and most gruesome of all... CPU pins have been bent. Stop this war before it is too late. #STOPTHISWAR
