My Gaming Computer Jan 2011

A look inside of my gaming computer (that almost never gets used for gaming ATM)
I just finally overclocked my system like I have always been wanting to do before I make a video, so I finally did it after about 2 years :P So some components may seem like they are soo 2008, they are...

intel i7 920 OC'ed to 3.84ghz
nvidia 285
10gb ddr3 ram
corsair 850w psu
antech 900 case
2 X 500gb wd blacks
gigabyte ex58 ud4p motherboard
samsung 27" monitor
some random monitor
cheap speakers :P
webcam
corsair h50

[doublethetech]

@buzz9961 I dont know, I dont play BF3

[Jakeyog]

dude, how good is your machine for hd video editing?

[doublethetech]

@Jakeyog Pretty darn nice, this is where 8 CPU threads comes in handy. Renders H.264 AVCHD export from Avid Studio at about 33fps (1080p 17mbps)

[darefreak36]

your core speed is low

[doublethetech]

@darefreak36 3.85 is low? Its not too shabby for an old i7 920...

my Gaming Computer is way better...

it has...

a Pentium 2 rated at 233 MHz

128 megabytes of ram

a graphics card from 1997 over clocked so i can play Doom (have to play on lowest settings)

a 250 watt power supply

thats just a basic over view (dont feel intimidated)

[doublethetech]

@DeathWingWorgen When I am video editing I commonly use 7-9gb of total ram..... And 16gb of ram costs under $200 right now, its sooo cheap. Why not be ready for the future?

My gaming rid is capable of using 64bit but I had to install windows 7 Ultimate 32bit because it was lying around my room in a new box. So I installed that for now. But I'm only going to be using 2GB ddr2 Dual Channel memory for now. Anyways people may say 32bit os can only address 3.50GB of ram. Well they are wrong it can address 4GB. Some computers depending on your graphics card it will use some of that memory. Also on a 64bit. I had Toshiba laptop. 8GB ddr3 7.25 Usable.

how will it run battlefield 3?

@MrNewbieProduction

1. 32bit doesnt allow full usage of ram, therefor can potentially slow everything down, 64bit is the way to go

2. If your setup is x64 capable, then you just install a 64bit operating system

3. yes your pc are perfectly fine

Your dvd drive isnt really an issue, once the game is installed, steam wise etc, it plays directly off hdd anyway.

@MrNewbieProduction 2.upgrade i meant

[MrNewbieProduction]

umm i have 3 questions

1. if i use windows 7 32bit on my gaming computer is that bad?

2.if so how can i replace it

3.my spec are

3.41ghz amd phenom 2

8gb of ram (3.25 usable cause of 32bit)

an ati radeon hd 5700 series(1gb i think)

so would my pc/dvd drive affect gaming if it wasnt that good?

PLEASE RESPOND Thank You
