I'm guessing about 3 or 4k for that build.

For the cash you're spending, get better sound. Get a home 5.1 hi-fi system and spend some money on sound-proofing.
Also, PIPE-DREAM.
The price of that is about £2,400.
I used an online configurator thing and thats what i got.
Just for fun! LOLZ!!

FVCK YOU.
And here I was gonna ask for pics when you finally build it.
BTW, I spotted an actual flaw with your build: The PSU is seriously underpowered. You are running a pair of 6970s, and I'm afraid 650W might not cut it.
Title says it all , oh and pics would be nice as well
Let's start off with mine:
- CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955BE Quad Core @ 3.8Ghz + Zalman CNPS10X Quiet cooler.
- Motherboard: Gigabyte MA770-UD3P.
- RAM: Corsair Dominator 4GB DDR3 1600mhz.
- GPU: ASUS GTX 560 Ti oc.
- Two Western Digital Green HDDs one 500GB and the other 1TB.
- Thermaltake V9 BlacX Edition case.
- Samsung BX2450 1080p LED monitor.
- Windows 7 64bit.

Crysis 2 with the dx11 patch is very demanding I get 30-35fps on ultra, but it looks soooo good that I can't lower the graphics to get smooth gameplay even in multiplayer

Thanks! I've been considering a new graphics card, mainly for more outputs not for gaming, that way I can eliminate my USB to DVI adapter, not sure I want to drop the money though.
Here's my gaming rig (oddly enough, the only gaming I do on it is minimal CS1.6):

Why 460? 465 is better . I got mine today, but got the blue PCB one so I requested an RMA so I can get a black PCB and make it a 470

What? no! the gtx 460 beats the 465 in pretty much every benchmark out there, plus it's runs cool and consumes less power.

Not really a gaming PC, but it was cheap and I was to lazy to build myself. The GT 420 is horrible for gaming, but I'll replace it with the HD 6570 low profile soon enough.

So most of here are geeks in the good scene of the word. We all have our mobile devices that we love and hack and tweak and mod. 98% of the time, to do what we need to do to our mobile devices, we rely on our PC. I'd be willing to bet that allot of you also have a strong attachment to your PC hardware as much as your mobile. Weather its for development, gaming, testing, surfing, working, pr0n? Use this thread to post specs and/or pics and show off all the hardware that sits between you and your modded mobile device.

I use this for everything. Dev, Gaming, School, Work. You'll find visual studio and Borland Delphi 7 along with the likes of MW3 and BF3. I also burn many a DVD and do most of my phone tasks here.
Mobile PCs
See attachment
Top Left, Clockwise -=> Dell Precision M6300, Dell Precision M90, Toshiba A215, HP TouchPad, Acer 5670
All configured similarly, less the Touchpad. Minor variance in CPU from 1.86GHz Core Duo to 2.4GHz C2D. All 4GB DDR2, All Win7 Ultimate (M6300 64Bit). I actually use the Acer the most as its Power/Weight ratio is awesome. It will do post modern 3d gaming with its 256MB Ati x1600 dedicated GPU. But I mostly work in Visual Studio on this. It is nice to be able to take a break and pwn some no0bs in the face and have great framerates . I love my Toshiba as a communications laptop. Its integrated web cam is top notch. And my Dell Precision's, well they are just 17" powerhouses. Mostly used for Mobile Gaming or movie viewing on their awesome large 17 inch displays (1440x900 native).
I did a search and didn't find any like posts. If I just missed it, feel free to merge this with it. If not, I look forward to see what everyone else uses when their not on their phone!
I got an Asus K53SV-SX838V notebook which has some nice specifications. In fact I use my notebook more then my phone.
I do use my notebook for playing COD MW3 and movies and tv series and sometime I like to try other operating systems like Linux, but will do that most time in vmware or live usb.
It's specifications are:
CPU: Intel Core I7 - 2679QM, 2.2Ghz with turbo boost till 3.1Ghz
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 540 + Intel HD 3000
RAM: 8GB
SSD: 128GB Crucial M4
Further it has an 1366x768 resolution and its 15.6 inch. Also it has one USB 3.0 port and an multitouch touchpad and HDMI and a VGA port and an standard webcam.
I'm very happy with it and it was an good deal, I bought it for € 587 excluding the SSD ofcourse at end of january , it came with an 640GB harddrive which is now my external harddrive.
I have a stock Toshiba Satellite for a laptop but my gaming rig is as follows
AMD Phenom II 1090T 6 Core
16GB Corsair Dominator GT
Crossfired 6970's
1.5 TB SATA HDD
128 GB Crucial M4 SSD
7.1 Audio
Nothing real special but it works for me.
Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl Edition
8GB ram
few terabytes of hardrives
2X 8600 GTi in SLi
C2D 2.6 (I think)
Some dust in the case
On a 23" Acer
Runs Skyrim without the slightest lag on all highest settings
Also MAcbook for everyday work, also connected to the 23" and it's closed all the time with an external KB and mouse. lol.

How is the buldozer? not just for gaming but other any other cpu intensive work? Im looking at getting the AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb 3.7GHz on newegg right now for 149.99 (it really is in my shopping cart lol), I'll hold off a few though as ive never actually been able to chat at someone who owns one. This quad i think is at an awesome price/performance ratio though.
My big main PC is the first one that I put together myself:
Intel i5-2500k (stock)
16GB G.Skill DDR3
2 overclocked XFX AMD 6970s
125GB Corsair SSD boot drive
1TB Samsung data/application drive
3.1 Sony soundbar home theater system
47" LG LCD TV.
I've still got my HP school laptop as a backup, but I haven't touched it in a looong time.
My computer sucks :-/ here I go:
AMD Sempron 140 @ 3.65GHz
AMD ECS 890GXM-A 1.0
SuperTalent 2GB (1 x 1 GB) DDR3 1600MHz
ATI Radeon HD 4850 1GB GDDR3
1x 300GB SATA
Windows 8
My PC is getting kinda dated but still does everything I need so no point fully upgrading yet
Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Mobo
AMD X2 6000+
4 x 2GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400
EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti FPB 1GB GDDR5
around 9TB of HDD space 1.5 installed rest hot swapped
22" Samsung 2253BW and 23" Acer X233H
I gave up on desktop, I replaced it with a Lenovo Y470p laptop. Its the first laptop I've purchased even though I built plenty of desktop in past. Never wanted get a one until they are small enough with a decent gpu and price.
This one isn't high end either, but with the AMD HD7690 which is 10% slower than a desktop HD5750/6750, its good enough to handle Skyrim in high settings. And since I only play mostly HalfLife2 mods, that's good enough for me. The laptop screen is abysmal, but I wasn't going to shell out an extra $500 to get an HP Envy 15 with the same hardware spec and any screen larger than 14".
Although I'm using it stationary as a desktop replacement connected to my 32" LCD. The main problem I'm having in term of gaming is the HDMI output signal lags by 30-40ms compared to the main screen. Add that to the 80ms in game lag (due to crappy ATT DSL) and the input lag of LCD itself, and the result is getting owned by wallhackers.
I will never get used to the keyboard and touchpad on the laptop so I'm still using my Logitech G5. I'm down on my last G5 since the other one goes choppy, I think I need to stock up more from ebay, I can't get used to any of Logitech new mice since they seem lower quality. I certainly won't be using any wireless mice or ones with glowing LED lights.
The only mod I did is to turn off the turbo boost for the Core i7 so the temperature doesn't shoot up to 90*C.
Hello
I have decided to build a gaming PC. I am not sure whether I should go Intel or AMD. Currently I have a Mac so i'm not going to choose a side without some help from experts. Based on my budget ($650 ish), I have chosen what I think are good, cheap components. The AMD machine's motherboard seems better, but the Intel one may be faster. I am unsure on performance differences and if I have chosen the right components.
Please note... The SSD, MOUSE, and KEYBOARD CANNOT change! I currently have them in my possession, so they will stay the same on both...

Your hardware seems sufficient enough as it is.
Good graphic card always help.
This hardware will run AS pretty smoothly. In fact, it runs well on Macbook Air 2013 - but builds sometimes take quite a bit of time(up to a minute vs 20 sec on my desktop which is a monster)
You're fine. I run Android Studio on a quad core AMD from 2011 and an NVIDIA GTS 250 with 4GB of RAM.
I want to share one more thing, on Mac OS, run Android Studio with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 for optimized font rendering. You can then configure your project to use Java Development Kit (JDK) 6 or JDK 7.
All the best. :good:
