Eh, long story. To make it short, I "inherited" it from a company that went out of business and it was far superior to the other computer I was using. The only thing I added was the OS and the graphics card.

Case: HAF 932
CPU: i7 2600k (Sandy Bridge)
Motherboard: Don't remember it off the top of my head, but I know its a Gigabyte board :tongue.gif:
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8gb DDR3 1600 (x2 4gb chips)
Graphics Card: Palit GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2gb
Storage: Solid State 30gb, Raid 0 1.8tb
OS: Windows 7 premium 64-bit
Mouse: Rat 7
Keyboard: Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS CHALLENGER
Thinking of buying another GTX 560 and going SLI, you guys think it would be worth it? Or should I should just stick with the single card until I upgrade?
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II x4 955 Processor 3.20GHz
RAM:8.00 GB
64Bit
465 GB (Thinking of getting a Terabyte internal along with the 465GB)
Windows 7 Ultimate.
GeoForce 210 (That's probably the worst spec, but It would've added another 200 if I bought a good one.)

I got this 3 months ago, No point in upgrading >.>
Depends. Do you want to get the added performance? A 2600k+560Ti should run most games on high/ultra, so you may as well stick with your current system.
Just wondering, but what are you using the 2600k for?
I got an i7 2600k for the unlocked multiplier for overclocking. Basically trying to make it as future proof as possible. I also got it during a special deal when it was the same price of an i7 2600.

The point he was trying to make is that the 2600k offers no improvement in gaming over the 2500k.
I got it mostly for photo and video editing as well as for programming (currently learning this in my spare time). I'm sure that the i5 2500k would have offered little difference in this, so I guess I just wasted some 80$ in a sense, oh well. :tongue.gif:

2500k is just ever so slightly out of my price range, and there were no H chipset boards that appealed to me.
Still tweaking the numbers a bit, I have $200 more than I thought I did to spend so I might just go 2500 and up the video card a little.
Get an SSD. It makes a world of difference, compared to say a few more fps out of a slightly better video card or a 2500 vs 2400 (they are both overclockable, but only to like 3.9-4.1ghz)

HDD or SSD is not in my budget sadly. I will be getting neither and using the ones I currently have until the HDD prices go down, or I come into another $100 for an SSD.

That means it's overheating, not bad. Just clean the dust out of it.

I didn't even think computers get that hot to melt plastic before shutting down.

Retired StaffSince he hasn't got a CPU cooler, I don't expect he wants to overclock it.

edit: looks like I'll be going with the standard 2500k/560ti setup.
