Mine started as a budget build but i later upgraded the GPU

DESKTOP
Case: Cit Vantage Red
CPU: AMD FX 6300
Mobo: ASUS M5A78L
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 Windforce 3 OC 4GB (Previously ASUS GTX 650 2GB)
SSD: Sandisk Ultra Plus 256GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM
PSU: CIT 750W
EXTERNAL
Monitor: 22" Logik 1080p 60hz + 2x Generic VGA Monitors (For IRC and Twitch Chat)
Monitor: 40" Veltech TV 30hz (Only use this for watching movies)
Headset: Kingston HyperX Cloud / Razer Kraken / ROCCAT Kave 5.1

Camera: Logitech C270
Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow 2013 (Cherry MX Blue) / ROCCAT Isku Fx multicolor
Mouse: Razer Deathadder / ROCCAT Kova+
Mousepad: Steelseries QcK

LAPTOP
Model: Lenovo Z500 Ideapad
CPU: i5 3230m
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600
GPU: Nvidia GT635m 1GB / Intel HD 4000 1GB
SSD: Sandisk Ultra Plus 256GB
HDD: Seagate Spinpoint 1TB 5400RPM (In replacement of the optical drive)

Overall my desktop cost me around £650 to build ignoring the previous GTX 650 and my laptop was from Amazon for £400 minus 4GB RAM and the SSD. I also have almost 800 steam games, people often say you need a super powerful CPU for gaming, its not the case. I can run any game in max details smoothly at 60fps and my 3DMARK test (Considering i haven't done one since adding the SSD and without overclocking) Is at 7500 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/5030775?

Sorry for the bad quality and mess at the side :( Yes that is a bed but it's not mine, I took over the guest bedroom and made it my "office" lol

My case is as big as it looks, just measured it to be 25 inches tall and 17 deep (63.5 and 43cm). I think it was a high end case from the 1980's, just had it lying around when I was ordering parts to build my computer and said it'll do :P It keeps surprisingly cool with only 2 chassis fans, never goes above 45C under load :3

I was originally using just that 2nd monitor off to the right but my dad accidentally ordered one tv too many for black friday and sold me the spare, was bigger than I thought so I had to take a spare cabinet door and "build" an extension to my desk lol

Few specs that I can pull off the top of my head; GPU is EVGA GTX 760, CPU is i7 3770k, I believe the motherboard is AS-Rock z77 Extreme-4 and there's 2x 4gb sticks of ram but I don't remember make or speed
It's not the end that I fear with each breath, it's life that scares me to death

EDIT: What is wrong with you guys? It's all about putting runescape on the right hand side of your screen not the left noobs.


Left side is better :s
