    I had an old HP system and felt the need for an upgrade. Needless to say, I went for a pretty powerful setup. I completed the build last weekend and everything went perfectly.

    Hardware
    • CPU: i5-2500K
    • Memory: G.SKILL 8GB
    • SSD: Crucial M4 64GB
      • Crazy fast boot times... using an old drive for most data
    • Case: Corsair 600T
      • Huge case that was a joy to work in
    • Power Supply: Corsair HX650W
    • Motherboard: ASRock P67 Extreme4 Gen3
    • GPU: MSI GTX 560-ti HAWK
      • Seems to be performing perfectly
    Game Performance*
    • Minecraft - default settings: 250-300+ fps
    • Battlefield 3 - ultra settings (with lower AA): 50-60+ fps
    * These aren't official benchmarks by any means, just what I have happened to see while playing the game
    Pictures
    Coming soon-ish...

    Graphics: 2x ati radeon hd 4870 x2 (2gig each crossfired)
    Harddrive: OCZ Vertex 3 240gig SSD 550mb/s read and 530 mb/s write
    haven't tested FPS for any game, don't feel the need to, as far as i can use my comp as fast, high quality and smooth as possible, i don't really care

    You act as if that's something to brag about. There's no point to have that much memory, and it's silly to think so.

    It's his bro's project. Just like, why not! You can host a pretty big mc server on that.

    meh. having 20 gb of ram isnt all.. you also need a good processor and good internet badwidth. if you have 20 gb ram and then a crappy processor then you cant really host a good server on it. :cool:

    On top of this being obscenely unnecessary, wouldn't 20 GB of RAM be an odd configuration (dual/quad channel)?

    I've always thought that would be the best job. I can't get enough of PC building now...

    well... When we built our first computer using donated parts, we found that they had missed out one peice... th RAM

    then when we rebuilt it with the RAM, we think we fried the motherboard.

    The parts, were all from exactly the same computer, not same model,and make, but the same computer. The RAM didn't fit. So we used some other RAM a different person gave us. and that worked, but of course the motherboard was (probably) already fried.

    So no success yet in building a computer.
    We have branched into other areas to get money - namely - website development.
