Post your *Gaming* PC setup thread

Solid quality mouse pad available at low price. It has "Gaming" in the name, but its not from one of these "gaming" companies, if you know what I mean. You might get Fellowes Microban, its pretty much the same. Mine got a bit dirty - reasong of getting something "new".

HMRC finally coughed up for my (hefty) tax rebate, so i've updated my machine a little bit, this is primarily for working, but side effect of it being slightly insane in games - hopefully excluding the GPU's this will keep me going for at least 5 if not more years.

*denotes items already owned

OS: Windows 8.1 (because certain components are still reported as unstable on 10, a year after release, stability is king.)

CPU/s: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2699v4 2.2GHz 22 Core/44 Threads each.

Coolers: 2x NZXT Kraken X61*

Motherboard: Asus Z10PE-D16* (bios flashed for Broadwell-E)

RAM: 128GB Samsung DDR4-2133MHz ECC/REG CL15* (8x16GB, still got 8 slots free for further upgrade potential)

SSD's: 512GB Samsung SM951 Boot "drive"*, 2x Intel 750 NVME PCIE 1.2TB

GPU: 2x EVGA GTX Titan X (Maxwell)* (as soon as available, will be getting Pascal Titan X's)

PSU: Corsair AX1500i* (even for this, PSU is massive overkill, but when it was bought, it was on a deal which made it £45 cheaper than the 1200i)

Case: Coolermaster Cosmos II*

Fans: Lots of Corsair ML140's no led version(Maglev fans, virtually silent compared to standard fans)

Now that's a proper corner. Congrats on the setup, I'm planning on getting a similar monster as well from 3XS combined with an ROG Swift curved. If I manage to secure that, somebody won't be happy, but she always needs new shoes.

Btw what chair you use ?

This is what I'm currently outfitted with!

Only recently upgraded my monitor from a 1080p one, but 1440p is staggering. Had it set up in a dual monitor fashion but wasn't too keen, so back to the single 1440p for now. Looking to pick up another SSD in the future and possibly upgrade my CPU, but I'm happy with 'er for now.

Ooh pc people!  :wub:

My PC was designed to be quiet and low powered for it's performance. I keep meaning to pick up an Arctic Freezer CPU cooler, but the stock intel one is surprisingly good in this case. Aside from games it is used for light photo editing and lately is now doing video editing (slowly!).

This year is meant to be upgrade year for it. I was going to get a new graphic card for it, but with the prices through the roof for them right now I'm now looking for some decent price dd4 ram, and I'll just go new CPU/board/ram this year. With the hopes gfx card prices come down next year.
