| | Posted: | | | | I just finished building a new custom PC and setting it up. What is everyone's current computer build?
Here's my specs:
Intel i7-3770K 3.5Ghz Quad-Core Processor (Ivy Bridge)
Thermaltake Level 10 GTS Mid-Tower Case + 3 extra case fans
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Motherboard
EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI 3.0 Video Card (Superclocked)
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo CPU Air Cooler + Thermal Fusion 400 Thermal Paste/Compound
Corsair 850-Watt TX Series PSU
Kingston Hyper-X 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz Dual-Channel RAM (4x4)
Intel 520 Series 120GB SATA-3 SSD (Boot Drive)
Western Digital 2TB SATA-3 HDD (Data Drive)
LG 14X Blu-ray Burner + LG 12X Blu-ray Player
Gigabyte 4.0/Wi-Fi Wireless Card
Samsung SyncMaster S23B550 23" LED Monitor + LG Flatron Wide 19" LCD Monitor (Dual Monitor Setup)
Windows 7 64-Bit Home Premium
I can upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for just $15 when it comes out this October, if it's worth upgrading to that is. | | | | Corey |

If you don't have Touchscreen, or at least are used to control your computer with Gestures on a Touchpad, it isn't. IMO Win8 is no OS for the classical Desktop computer. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

IMO Win8 is no OS for the classical Desktop computer. You just reminded me that I have a 24" Acer touchscreen monitor. I keep forgetting it - so don't use it. Just tried it with dvdprofiler and it actually is quite amenable to touchscreen use - most apps aren't. |
