800-watt power supply.
Intel Core 2 Quad.
4GB 800mhz DDR2 RAM.
Shitload of fans.

But best of all, an nVidia GeForce GTX 2-Fucking-80.

After a wild goose chase to find an incompatible component (it was the RAM) I finally got this asshole up and running, and it works like a charm. I'm currently downloading the Crysis demo to see how that runs, but I've already tried UT3, which goes at 1280x1024, max settings, constant 60fps.

Also that GTX280 is fucking massive. It barely fits in the case in the first place.

Nice.

I have 4GB or RAM too but XP only recognizes 3.25GB of it ;_;

If I had the PSU, I would have waited for the GTX instead of getting a superclocked 8800GT.

280? They gave up calling them 10,000's? That sucks :(

Well, you could technically refer to it as "GT-X280", which would stand for "10280," but I doubt that's what they had in mind.

Crysis demo still downloading D:

They never wanted to call them 10ks.

Also, you're lacking things, such as your OS, mobo, cpu frequency, etc.

Detailed specs in my Profile Computer Information area. Those were just the most prominent things.

Nice setup, your post says an 800w psu and you profile says 750w.

Bah. I almost bought a 750 but decided on an 800, so it's still stuck in my head. e_e

Also played Crysis demo. Running at a nice 30FPS with everything Very High, 1024x768, DX10 turned off. (It doesn't really make that much of a difference.)
