I have a very nice gaming machine (in performance, not looks).
It was custom built, by myself. I chose the parts, I built it, I installed the OS, and every now and then I clean the dust out of it.
Here’s the spec list (no over-clocking involved):
The Beast
Hardware:
- Case:
Cooler Master HAF Stacker 935 - Motherboard:
Gigabyte Z97M-D3H - GPU
Gigabyte GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 6G - CPU
Intel Core i7-4790 - RAM
32GB DDR3 - OS Drive
480 GB Intel SSDSC2BP480G4 - Storage Drive
4TB Seagate Solid-State Hybrid Drive (ST4000DX001-1CE168)
– Discontinued, replacement line is the FireCuda - Cooling
Custom-loop water cooling. Not very tidy, very ‘amateur-hour’, but functions well. CPU doesn’t go above 80°C, even running Computational Fluid Dynamic analysis.
Software:
- OS
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (joined to Active Directory)
