Computer specs - Innerwebs - 01-20-2013

Just a thread to discuss your PC rigs and parts.I wouldn't say I have the greatest PC to ever graze the face of the Earth, but it's pretty nice. I can run everything from L4D2 to Crysis and BF3 on relatively high settings on 1080p with a stable framerate. Here are the specs, btw:
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 AM3+ 970
CPU: AMD FX-4100 4.1GHz
Video card: NVidia GTX 550ti
Ram: 2x Corsair Vengeance 4gigs 1660MHz
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm
Case: MSI Nighthawk
PSU: Antec EA-650 650 watts

shhhhh, it's supposed to be a secret

Get an AMD CPU. They're not as bad as you make them out to be. Especially their APUs. Quad core with a 7660 is a lot better than the crappy HD4k Intel ships with.

Fraps and general video editing. 6 minutes of lossless 1080p video is 4 gigbytes. when recording and editing a lot, it can amount to 100 gigabyte video files.

Very carefully.

I don't really know the importance of paying so much for more data and space on your computer. Do you really need room to store thousands of files?

Amazon was having a sale on the 2 terabyte hard drive. It cost only 5 dollars more than the 1 terabyte model I was aiming for.
