I have seen other members posting about their PC specs, I was wondering what the rest of our fellow ICMagger are running in their PC and if you don't mind, how much you paid.

790i ultra SLI
q9550 Core2Quad @3.83Ghz w/ 12mb L2 cache
4gb DDR3 @ 1600mhz
2x XFX 9600GSO's in SLI (768mb VRAM each)
1x PNY 8600gt for Physics.
2x 500gb WD caviler Blacks in Raid 0

It runs all my games maxed with at least 30FPS @ 1680x1050, that includes Crysis.

Cost=~$1200, a year ago.

DFI Ultra-D motherboard
AMD 3000+ @ 1.8Ghz (was overclocked to 2.52, but I accidentally reset the BIOS one day while doing some work on the mobo... and now I'm too lazy/forget how to re-overclock it)
2 x 512mb DDR1? (lol)
nVidia eVga 6600GT
600W OCZ PSU
160GB HD
250GB HD
320GB HD
500GB external HD
Dell UltraSharp 2209WA 22-inch WS Flat Panel Monitor

Bought everything back in '05, 'cept the 3 larger HDs and the monitor which I bought this past summer. To give ya an idea of how much prices have dropped, everything together (plus fans, heat sink, thermal pate, case, etc) originally (in '05) cost me ~$1,100.

The system plays counter-strike 1.6 smoothly and 720p movies fine. 1080p is a little choppy, but 720p is fine by me. COD:MW2 is pretty much out of the question though, lol. As soon as I get some money saved I'm going to invest in a new computer. It'd be nice to play some of the newer games.

In these 4.5 yrs the only thing that's taken a shit on me are 2 PSUs and the chipset fan on the mobo, which isn't bad.

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4ghz (Haven't gotten around to overclocking it yet) w/ a huge ass Noctua Heatsink that looks like it is gonna crush the motherboard.
2 x 2GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 PC2 8500
EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216
Corsair 850 Watt Power Supply
2 x 500 GB Western Digitals 7200 RPM
Asus Xonar DX 7.1 Sound Card
Lite-on DVD/CD burner

I built it before the summer I believe, I don't remember exactly how much I spent probably around $1200-1300. I have yet to have any issues at all with any of the hardware, I don't really play to many games at the time so I chose not to go SLI for now. It's so much fun building them though, it's crazy how much shit has changed though, remember what the inside of the original Pentiums looked like, damn.
