Hey all, I built this PC in late 2017 for the main purpose of Video Editing. It's had a small upgrade since then, but otherwise great.
ASUS ROG B-350F
Ryzen 7 1700 -> OC to 3.6GHz
2x 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHz -> OC to 2933MHz
Intial GPU was an old R9-290x upgraded to Aorus RX 580 8GB
4x case fans plus Wraith Spire on the CPU
Still using a Western Digital Black HDD (Big fan of WD, have had Seagate fail twice)
Corsair RM850x PSU.
Old but really solid still.
Some small issues with the 1st gen ryzen chip but otherwise I've been really happy with the performance of the build.
Thanks for reading!
This box has been through a succession of motherboards starting, I think, with a 386sx.
MB: Asus P8H61
CPU: Intel Core i3-3240 3.4GHz
SSD: Crucial CT250BX100SSD1 250Gb
HD: Seagate ST1000524AS 1Tb
Display: ASUS EAH5450, Phillips 170S4 1280x1024
Sound: Asus Xonar DG
OS: Windows 10 Home, Linux Mint 20.2, macOS 10.13 High Sierra
Case: Ancient, anonymous
I retired it because it kept resetting, which turned out to be the button on the case, disconnected.
Hello all,
At the tail end of 2019, I found out that I was going to be working from home due to the pandemic and I decided that I wanted to shift back to PC gaming after taking a hiatus from it for many years.
The build ended up serving multiple purposes for me as I was still heavily involved with my custom Android ROM project (Dirty Unicorns) at the time. However, as time progressed -- free time did as well and as such all good things eventually come to an end.
Be that as it may, the build is still fantastic and powers me through all the games that I want to play with ease and still leaves some room for upgrades in some regards; mostly aesthetically (case, particularly).
My specs are as follows:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3900X
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Vision
Motherboard: Gigabyte AORUS X570 Master (Rev 1.0)
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 64GB (4 x 16GB) 3600MHz CL16
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i RGB Platinum SE
Storage: 2x 1TB Sabrent Rocket 4.0, 2TB Corsair MP600 Force
PSU: Corsair RMx 850W
Case: Corsair iCUE 465X RGB
Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQR -- 32" Curved/1440p/144Hz/HDR
Pardon the dust on my kb lol.
Some upgrades to the beast:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL
AIO: Corsair H150i Elite Capellix (w/ LCD upgrade kit)
Case: Corsair 5000X RGB
Fans: Corsair SP120 RGB Elite
Fan Controller: Corsair Commander Core XT

Hi everyone
I'd like to share my current PC setup which I have slowly upgrading over the last 6-7 years or so. I switched platforms from Intel to AMD and have been really impressed with the performance since I am mostly using it to either do some editing, code work and VR/gaming! Also one of the oldest parts in my build is probably the power supply. It was definitely a future proof choice when I got it way back haha
NZXT H510
AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
NZXT X63 AIO upgraded w/ Noctua fans
Aorus Master X570
Aorus RTX 3060TI
32GB G.Skill TridentZ
2x 1TB Samsung 970 Nvme drives
Be Quiet 850W Platinum
For monitors I have a dual screen setup consisting of an ASUS and LG 1440p monitor.
Both are IPS and 144Hz which is super nice, though the LG has way superior colours!
If you're interested I can add some pictures later!
nice
Way back in 2014 my son and I built this PC with parts we purchased locally in Mumbai.
The idea was to build a PC on which my son could play games.
This was and still is the configuration....
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz
Memory 16 GB DDR
Hard Disk: 1 TB
Monitor : 24 in Acer
Graphic Card : Asus nvidia GTX 750ti
Monitor Resolution 1920x1080 pixels
Cabinet : Circle Gaming Cabinet CC 821
SMPS: Corsair VS Series VS550 - 550 Watt SMPS
Keyboard: RedGear
After my son moved on to a PC with better specs, I got my hands on it and have been using this device for the last 3 years. My use has been restricted to Office work. The only high performance task I do is the occasional building of a custom ROM. That required the 16 GB of RAM. It also takes about 3-4 hours. Off late have stopped building ROM's and stick to browse, email, chat all office related stuff. Occasionally use GIMP to edit photos for social media posts. That justifies the RAM.
Have added the following two hardware components.
Audio : Use bOAT Aavante Bar 1130 60 W 2.0 channel soundbar connected to the speaker socket
Printer: HP DeskJet 2332
The OS for the past 4 years has been Ubuntu and the current version running is 20.04.4 LTS...waiting for the 22.04 LTS to be released.
With the old proverb 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' at the back of my mind, thinking of upgrading the PC before it collapses and leaves me stranded.... Looking for some tips on this forum.
I wouldn't bother upgrading it, save perhaps for installing a SATA SSD drive if your 1TB drive is the traditional kind, or better yet a PCI-E M.2 drive adapter if you have a spare PCI slot.
I'd maybe re-apply thermal paste to the CPU and give the heatsink and filters a good clean but otherwise it just isn't worth the bother.
If you are going from traditional HDD to an SSD you will appreciate the boost.
for a few bucks you can get a win 7 pro license and use it to install windows 10. A sata SSD would be a nice addition. Nvme might not work without some bios modding to add nvme driver to it.
