Default Just Got A New PC After 5 Years


I finally thought it was time to update my PC. I've just taken delivery of the following system. Really pleased with it so far:

CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K @ 4.3Ghz
CPU Cooler: Corsair H80 Water Cooler
Operating System: Microsoft® Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68AP-D3
Memory: 16.0GB Corsair 1600mhz Vengeance (4x 4GB)
Hard Drives: Corsair 180GB Force3 SSD S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s
Optical Drive: 12x Pioneer Blu-Ray RW S-ATA
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB
Monitor: Acer HN274H 27" 120MHZ 3D Monitor
Sound Card: Creative X-FI Xtreme Audio 7.1 PCI-E
Speaker System: Sony HTAS5 5.1 Surround Sound System
Case: Zalman Z9 Plus
PSU: 650W Corsair TX Ultra-Quiet

Only tested a few games, but the ones i've tried run great. The system is also very quick and boots up in seconds. I think the large amount of RAM and SSD really speed things up.

Nice! Hardcore gaming system! What games have you unleashed this beast on? The only games I think your PC might struggle on is The Witcher 2, GTA IV or ARMA II. Then again, everyone's struggles to max out THOSE.

Highly recommend The Witcher 2 if you're a fan of eye candy or a great RPG.

Are you planning to overclock the CPU? Since you got a water cooler.

You could run a simulation of the universe in 3D with that. Skyrim is one of the best new games that have good graphics, you should try it if you haven't.

edit

If you play Skyrim I recommend the HD Mod, lush grass mod and lush trees mod which makes it even more realistic. Use the Nexus Mod Manager and get the mods from Skyrim Nexus.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=607

This is a list of some of the best mods for it:

I've got over 500 hours in Skyrim and got bored with it already... even with mods

Good for you Martin...I know you are into computers and games.

I still have the same 4 yr old desk top E-machine at the office..works fine for filing our ins claims , e-mail, and surfing the web.
I did get a new Acer wireless laptop for home use at Christmas time. Works fine so far but then we don't play games on it...just use it for e-mail, skype with family, some shopping, and surfing the web.
Never been much of a techie...I rely on my son-in-law for tech advise and support.

Thanks everyone...

Antoine the CPU is already overclocked to 4.3ghz on each core. I've played Skyrim a lot on the PS3 so i'll prob give it a miss, but thanks for the advice.

You need to place the install folder for Skyrim into the Program Files(x86) folder and right click the shortcut to Nexus Mod Manager and run as administrator for it to work on Windows 7, it's the best way to add mods for many games because it makes it easy to remove them as well.

Yes, but you've beat the game a few times no? It's exceptionally fun to play before you master it.

Battlefield 3 and World of Warcraft look amazing in 3D!
