What’s the worst part of your rig?

[flibberdipper]

The fact i can't find a video card that can not bottleneck this beast. 

GTX 990.

[luk9400]

If your mobo supports get a core quad

 

I wanna upgrade to 4670K this summer, so I'll wait a little bit.

[Bob]

The stock case fans, I like them because they have red LEDs but they are loud. 

[Guest]

its only voided if they have the stickers on the screws, my gigabyte card can be taken apart without voiding the warranty

Hold the fans down

[Alex780]

My $20 2006 microsoft membrane keyboard and the fact I don't have an ssd. At least I'm gonna buy a Corsair K70 soon

[Cwazywazy]

My A8-3850. Even overclocked it manages to bottleneck my 650ti in some CPU intensive games. (Especially BeamNG drive. It bottlnecks by about 20-30FPS on max settings.)

 

And my Apple keyboard. It was free with a $20 iBook G4 i bought (Which I had some fun overclocking) but it has some girls name written on the bottom and the 4 6 and 8 keys stick. The 8 key cracks and creaks when I press it too.

[Solarisfire]

The fact I have zero interior lighting... I need some cold cathodes or LEDs or something...

Well... Where to begin? Lets list off the specs and go from there.

 

Gateway DX4300-15e prebuilt.

 -AMD Phenom II X4 810 (quad core, 2.6GHz @1.3V according to CPU-Z).

   -Stock AMD heatsink.

 -Foxconn RS780 motherboard.

 -8GB DDR2 @ 800MHz.

 -ATI Radeon HD 3200 Integrated GPU.

 -On-board audio.

 -1TB Seagate 7200RPM HDD.

 -Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit).

 

Monitor: Acer P186H

 -18.5"

 -1366x768 resolution.

 -Only connector is the attached VGA.

 

Don't mind the amount of RAM (never come close to using all of it), the HDD size (not even half full) or the OS.. Or on-board audio I guess. Never heard audio from a dedicated sound card, so I don't know what I'm missing out on lol. Everything else is terrible. Can't game on it at all really. Lowest settings + lowest res = about 13 FPS. I'm saving up for parts to build a new computer, but there's no telling how long that'll take.

[Fiq]

I have only one, 500GB HDD. I dont have a SSD, i have some no brand shitty PSU, I have 3 year old AMD phenon with stock cooler. It´s a piece of shit PC. Only good things about it are my 7770 and  Corsair 500R

I'll take your Phenom.

[EpicGeekonFire]

Its a laptop and it can't stay cool on idle

[tovleander]

The air coming out of the rear of the case, is colder than the one coming in from the front. It makes my feet cold. 

[ManOfDisguise]

Send it my way, the 8350 is truly the perfect chip.

nah it can limit your performance in some games where the games dont use more than 4 cores. for example i play dayz sa(i know its hsitty optimised) but because of my 8350 i get around 20-45 fps while my friend who has a 760(weaker card then my 770) but a 4770k gets around 70 and sometimes even 120fps. i bet even a 3770k would do much betetr than the 8350.

[Matthias2556]

430 Watt PSU.

Video editing and some 3d work on an a8-5600k....

4.0 ghz on a stock cooler. 69+ celcius

 

500gb WD Caviar Blue when the 1tb version is only 4 dollars more.

430w? 300w here

i also do video editing and 3d work in blender... but on and a6-3650 (thankfully its quad core) at 2.6 GHz   

runs minecraft at 50 FPS 

 

my PC is an HP pavilion, i bought it at best buy before i knew how to build a PC. scored a pretty ok deal on it though.

im planning on upgrading in a few months so i can play star citizen, may wait for maxwell to come out.

[Vica]

Your desktop wouldn't happen to be the HP Pavilion P7-1234, would it?

[DTV998]

Hmm... Nothing really, I love my PC but... maybe I would like to have another 770 

[Extrow]

Whew, there are so many different things I don't like about my rig. For starters, there's a lack of dust filters and I live in a REALLY dusty place. Secondly, the fans are pretty loud which tends to bother me when I'm just watching videos. And lastly the lack of an SSD makes loading times much longer than I wish they were. And being a broke college student, I think I'll have to live with these problems for a long time D:

as a matter of fact it is!

My grandma has the same PC with Samsung RAM and the stock motherboard, no SSD. Thing has some kind of screetchy coil whine like noise when you load something (and it's not the hard drive). Although hers does pretty well with Minecraft (solid 55-60 until you start to blow shit up). I'm actually very impressed with the performace of it.

 

EDIT: And a 1TB Hitatchi Deskstar (or Deskpro, whatever the hell it is) 7200RPM HDD.

[SebastianThorn]

Well, that would be my optic drive.. Everything in my build is Black and Red, except the drive.. I can always respray it but still.

[Matthias2556]

My grandma has the same PC

 

Gee, thanks man......

 

i put the ssd in myself, and mine does still have thestock mobo, i just took a wild guess that it was msi.

mine has a segate barracuda 1tb, and the ram is probably samsung

Her's is actual SAMSUNG RAM though (not G.Skill with Samsung chips). She really does take advantage of that 8GB of RAM though... I think she's splurged now that she has more than 1GB of it. Hers is a Pegatron AAHD2-HY (link HERE).

 

EDIT: She can put in an A8-3850 if she wanted to...

my mom cant even convince my grandma to get a Kindle, let alone an actual device, and shes not even that old! (~65 i think)

i just got my grandpa a kindle fire though *applause* he needed it for a trip

[djayarr808]

I really hate that my PC plays my games so smoothly at high framerates. Sometimes while using FRAPS, my FPS gets so high, the fourth digit blocks my view of the game.

 

K that was pretty dumb.

 

I hate that my pump started smoking on me. Now I have to wait on ANOTHER RMA...first world problem at its finest.
