Also, my first custon build had an i3 3240 with no GPU... which left me with HD graphics 2500...

A lot of people i helped build a PC like this because they only using it as word processing and flash-based game.

They like, "WTF you spend $600 on PC, they look all same."

 

I am using an i3 4360 with a radeon 7750 xD, but 2  1080p monitors.

I envy your monitors :o

 

My keyboard cost more than either one or my monitors. (Acer refurb something 1080p IPS for $120. Brand new Corsair K70 for $130.)

Me too, AOC 1366x768 for around $69, Ducky Shine 2 for $93

It was even worse before. I used to have two 20 inch 1600x900 screens that were ~70 each.

Wow, been a long time since I've been here. My sin now is my network setup (my netbook is hooked up to our router via wireless and there's a network bridge that hooks my router up to my netbook so everything in my room has internet.

 

I bought a rMBP

I'll take if from you. :P

I envy me too because they are 2 different monitors so their sizes aren't the same and it gets kind of annoying but its better than 1 monitor

Im using a 27" iMac, which i paid full price for plus extras from the Apple Store back in 2012. 

Thinking about it now saddens me, for £1700 i could have got something so much better and saved money at the same time.

I like razer. I have a Blackwidow Deathstalker and a Razer Naga

I spent $150 on studio monitor speakers and I don't mix music (M-audio AV40)

I buy games on steam that I don't play

I play about half the games I've bought

 

I still like my Xbox One better. I know my PC is way better, but I probably play Xbox more since my friend made me get Destiny to play with him.

I have a Corsair 750D, and only an AiO cooler, H110. I argue upgrade-ability but let's be honest...

I want to be a filmmaker yet the only camera I own is a GoPro Hero 2.

Honestly, on a sunny day outside, the video of my GoPro looks better than the Canon 5D Mk3 I shot with indoors a while ago.

 

I must use a controller for games, I'm really not a keyboard/mouse guy, except for WoW. Even still, I got this program and the last few months I played WoW I made an effort to use my controller to level up.

 

I think the push for 4k, and getting the cheapest 4k monitor is stupid and pointless.

 

Picture quality > pixels ANY DAY

starting at 1080p of course, since that's the standard.

I care about how clean my PC is more than my room hygiene or my health. Sometimes when I'm still up at 2 AM I'd spend 30 mins to clean my PC then sleep on the pile of unfolded clothes that I never bother shoving into my drawer
