Currently using an FX 6300 and an R9 290 and I'm entirely satisfied with it, as it plays every game I want to at 1080p60 without a hitch. Sometimes I think I want an i5, but I don't NEED it.

I'm that guy with the GPD Win.

For gaming my PC is fine for my needs but content creation is suffering. Really could use a i7 5820k or better.

Could use a second 980, but over all I would say I am pleased with it.

yes for now, but looking forward to CF my 290.

my current setup is perfect for 50-60 FPS most games at 2560x1080 at high or better

dont get me wrong, i love my current build. but there are some things i wish i had done differently. currently have 8350 and a 970. main problem i have is that i just flat out need more monitors. also wouldnt hurt to throw in another 970. power supply is also really crappy. needs replaced. cant even get a stable OC on my gpu. mobo is crap. case is okay, actually kinda like it but not enough room at the top (only need like two or three more millimeters) for a AIO to fit properly. i crammed it in there but its resting against the RAM and that makes me a little uncomfortable. overall, it has its issues but its still a reasonable build. was my first one, and wont be my last

Unsatisfied.

It's not even a gaming build.

It's an old HP laptop from 2011 that can barely run Windows itself.

I've never actually 'gamed' on this old thing.

Mine's really fine for now. Just upgraded to a Sapphire Dual-X R9 280 3gb so I can finally play games decently. I would love to build a low budget gaming pc, maybe a console killer.

No. Hard drives are too slow and they are almost used up.

My USB 2.0 ports don't work anymore on my case.

My power supply is not the best when it comes to overclocking.

ASUS mobo PCI-E brackets are hardening or something but the hinges broke off.

I also can't work because I am being treated for cancer. I want to replace/get new parts.

I'm happy with everything in my system except the decision I'd made a few years back to give SLI a shot and get dual 660 Ti's.

 

For the most part, they still run everything really well that I want/need them to (especially since I'm currently sticking with 1080 gaming), but lately games have started requiring higher VRAM capacities to enable the the most highres textures, and my current 2GB doesn't quite cut it.

NO. And probably never will be. Especially since I keep running into problems getting a new pump for my water loop.

 

I'm using FrankenPC as a fun side project until I kill it. By then I should have enough saved for an i7 and a good Z97 with a second GTX 970. Then I'll maybe be partially satisfied. For a while.

Well no, I was lazy in my last build with an SSD, so my SSD is like 3.5 years old now and it shows that it isn't very modern.  I'm a bit sad that my 780Ti doesn't like to be pushed, it's already SC from the factory, but even turning up the core offset to +50 starts causing artifacts.

 

I'm not satisfied, but it's gonna have to wait until Broadwell/Maxwell proper or something.

Yes!

 

I have:

 

I7 980, 12 Gb ram, SLI GTX 970s, Raid 0 1 Tb Sammy Evo 840s, couple of 4 Tb HDDs ...

 

The only problem is its only Sata II, but the raid 0 SSDs still have 500+ Mb/s read and write.

 

I'll be waiting for Skylake + Pascal next, only going to upgrade the CPU and mobo then because Pascal will be using a new interface and need a new mobo.
