My little rig

[etheros315]

Hello there members of @LinusTechTips Forum!

 

I'm gonna present you my little rig.

 

• CPU:  Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E7400 (3M Cache, 2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
• GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 650 (2GB, 128bit) (inno3D)
• RAM: 2x2GB DDR2
• HDD: 2x75GB HDD
• MOBO: ASUS P5GC-MX/GBL
• PSU: 350W or 400W No-Name

I am very grateful that I could afford this. After almost 2 years of using a GT210, I saved the money enough to buy a SH GTX 650 from a friend of mine and now I can play League of Legends much better. Hope that one day I will be playing GTA V.

What does that even mean?

I've been looking through posts in this category and saw only amazing builds. I thought that this one may be removed or stuff like this. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you want, I will remove it.

No no, we are a very accepting community and will take in anyone with any rig they have or can afford. The reason you only see amazing builds on the forum is because well, they are amazing and not many people like to show off their rig if they don't have anything similar or better than that. You are being different, you should be proud.

Dude don't judge yourself like that. Your build doesn't make you "bigger" or "smaller" as a person. That's very good build for playing League and some other games :)))))))))

Thank you for your wise words, @Brennan_Price. I am happy that I can be a part of this gigantic community!

You are very right, I can play League of Legends clearly and smooth. Not only LoL, but even CS:GO, Rocket League, Streamline, Saints Row 3. But someday, I will be playing the grand masterpiece, Grand Theft Auto V!

dude as an owner of gtx 650 ti i can give you 1 very important advice for games  - look for cheap q6600 (and ofc if your mb supports it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT) get one  (i got my for 27 leva and i bet you can get similar deal to that in romania as well )- the 650 just doesnt like duo cores and the q6600 is getting cheaper and cheaper  and i bet you wlll see good boost in the performance (caught rise of the tomb rider mid settings stable fps caugh)

I was considering buying a Q processor, but my motherboard doesn't support it, and my budget doesn't afford it. My parents work hard to maintain me and my sister and I don't like to bother them about my wishes while they have their problems which are more important.

yes i totally understand this situation bec for me its real as well - just sharing my experience (i had my 650 with single core / dual core and now the quad core and due to the terible duo that i have it was legit even worse than the pentium D 3.00 ghz )

Yea, the C2D sometimes runs as hell, it freezes and causes lag with only Facebook, Youtube and maybe Twitch open.

I have found many Core2Quads, but my motherboard don't support this type of processors and I can't afford buying a motherboard too.
