It'd be cool to see what kind of hardware people will be playing this game on and maybe even see what upgrades are in mind.

Simple really.
-CPU
-GPU
-RAM
-Storage
-Motherboard
-Feel free to add in any quirks such as watercooling or badass cases

For example I'm running
-i5 3570k
-ATI 7970
-16GB 1333Mhz
-256GB SSD+ 1TB HDD
-Asus p8z77-v
-nothing special with mine (yet )

My computer was found in an archaeological expedition years ago. It is said it could belong to the ancient civilization of Mu, but this is very controversial.

-Dual Core 2.2 GHz
-MSI R5750 1GB GDDR 5 (AMD)
-2GB 800Mhz RAM
-500 GB HDD
-An Intel old motherboard I think
-I have no special fans, just one in the CPU and another one in the power supply

Recently I bought an AMD FX 8320 (eight cores), an ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 motherboard and 4 GB RAM, but the vendor sold me the wrong mother for the processor and I broke some pins of the FX when I had to remove it, so I had to go back to my old archaeological discovery until I can replace it. (I'll be paying it for two years, so that might be not too soon.)

I have a laptop but I still think it is of worth to put here.

CPU - i7-3630QM (quad core 2.4ghz upto 3.4ghz)
GPU - GT 750m (soon to be sli because lenovo is boss and I have a ultrabay)
os - win 8.1 64bit (not bad when you never have to use metro ui hehe)
RAM - 8gb ram ( of what i don't know)
Storage - 1TB (i know, its awesome for a laptop)

its a y500 and I love it. Runs almost every game in ultra or high. Planetside 2 is the only game I have to have a few things turned down. I haven't tried any crysis games yet.

I was going to post my macbook pro specs here but when I did read yours I didn't dare anymore
(please I don't want to hear that macs aren't made for gaming, I know that they aren't made for gaming and I didn't bought it for gaming, that however doesn't mean that I don't want to play games on it.)


Well anyway, I'm saving up some money for a gaming rig (want to spend about €1200), does anyone have some tips on this?

For the first time in my life I have a modern computer...

-Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
-Processor: AMD FX8320 (8Core)
-GPU: AMD Radeon HD7870 Dual Fan
-RAM: 8GB DDR3
-Harddrive: WD 1 TB SATA3
-OS: Win 8.1 (and lamenting each second of it)
-Case/Cooling: basic gaming case and a couple of extra fans.

I plan to use this conf. 2-3 years and then update the GPU and maybe something more.

My desktop:

Core i7 3770 @ 3.40 Ghz
16GB 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM
256gGB SSD + 500GB HDD + 2TB HDD
Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Antec Sonata III Case
Windows 7 Pro x64


Keep thinking it's time for a graphics card upgrade, but I never seem to get around to it.

Maybe when LT is released.

Hey nothing wrong with giving the specs of your puny mac
But seriously If you're contemplating a gaming rig then I can suggest either an i5/i7 Intel or an octa core AMD chip. The motherboard would depend on the chip. An AMD 7970/R9 or nVidia 770 for the GPU. 8GB of ram would be a good start but if you fiddle with photo or video editing, bumping up to 16GB would be beneficial. Definately get yourself a SSD for the boot drive (and LT obviously) with a HDD backup for media. Feel free to PM me for any other details

What's with the lamenting?
Sure 8.1 isn't as desktop friendly as 7 was but it's a huge improvement from 8 (heck I even had to deal with the developer preview ).

I've found 8.1 to be nice and speedy top but if you're having withdrawal symptoms from 7 then give Classic Shell a try if you haven' t already.
Nice specs overall though.

It's the whole mobile background of it. Yes you can detune it for desktop, but the whole thing with apps and so sucks... You must work around to make same things as in 7. On the other hand, security issues apart, I could use XP Pro Enterprise forever so... You see, I'm 32 and already "newtech resistant". I'm the most anti-smartphone/tablets guy you could ever imagine, all for PC

I'll give the the specs on my newest rig, about to be replaced in a month or so with a monster.

GTX 670
i7 2600k OC 4Ghz
Corsair H60 closed loop liquid cooling
64Gb Vertex 4 SSD (OS)
256Gb Vertex 4 SSD (applications)
2Tb WD Black (storage)
Slimline BD read/writer
16Gb RAM Intel Extreme Patriot
Silverstone Sugo sg07b (case/PSU)
ASUS P8Z77 Delux (MOBO)
Windows 7 Ultimate

Ok here are it's specs:
2,5 GHz Intel Core i5
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB (dammit apple why u no use dedicated gpu?)
500GB HDD

And about the gaming rig, I was thinking of putting these things in it:
Intel Core i5-4670K (no idea if I would need additional cooling or what one)
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-D3H (motherboard)
GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-4GD (GPU: GeForce 770 GTX)
8GB ram (probably from corsair?)
A SSD (no idea what one to chose) and a 1TB HDD (seagate barracuda?)
PSU (no idea what one to chose)
A CD/DVD (write/read) (probably the cheapest I can find since I don't use a lot cd's anymore)
wifi-network card (no idea what to chose)
No idea what box to put all this stuff in :s

It must be the age... Because, same here.

I'm a self employed shopkeeper. A while ago there was this young guy wanting to sell us a system for a customer loyalty card. When I asked him what made it special, he said "you get an ipad with an app to manage the customers, their cards and points". You can probably guess my reaction.

Yea I kinda know a lot about PC specs and you're going to replace ^that^ with a "monster"!?
Are we talking multi-gpu, Ivy-E, quantum tunnelling cannon ? because those are some really respectable specs already and making a monster intrigues me.

Nice I'm not the only one Katorone

greenie214, I'm also intrigued by Sky's statement He'll probably go for alien hardware, with living chipsets and quantum bus

Perhaps something in the line of this ?
