I play a lot of fps and a decent amount of rts too. I try to stay clear of the mmorpgs though, too much time and money and it requires no skill.

Mostly I spend my spare time at lans and watching movies, and of course reading destructoid.

So I bought my new rig about a fortnight ago, but I still haven't got round to posting about it yet. Everything has been running perfectly and I've been playing a lot of Call of Duty 4 which hardly stresses it but is the best game I have on me. I still haven't picked up Crysis, Bioshock, Hellgate London or World in Conflict but I intend to play them through sometime.

Components:

Motherboard -Asus P5E (x38 chipset, PCI-E 2.0)
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Memory - 2x1GB Corsair 800Mhz CL4
Graphics Card - XFX GeForce8800GT 512MB
Hard Drive - Seagate 500GB SATA Drive 32MB Cache
Sound Card - Asus SupremeFXII (packaged with motherboard)
Power Supply - Corsair HX620
DVD Drive - Asus DRW-1814BLT SATA DVDRW
Case - Antec P180B
Monitor - Dell E771P 17" CRT
Mouse - Logitech G5 (Blue 2007 Edition)
Keyboard - Standard Dell US Keyboard
Headphones - icemat Audio Sibera Headphones
Stereo - Sharp CD-MPS660 Stereo

The keyboard, and monitor are from my old Dell. At some point I'm going to get a usb keyboard and a nice big lcd. Perhaps a blu-ray or hd drive, whichever wins the war too.

Enough talk here's the pics:

Do you happen to be the same Resonance I know from wayward?
All that nice stuff and you play with a CRT monitor :( why?
Ick...stay away from Hellgate: London. But thats just me.

Anyways, nice rig but why not throw in some extra money towards a nice CPU Heat Sink? It never hurts to have one to maximize your CPU.
On the subject of heatsinks, I personally recommend Zalman heatsinks.
Sweet setup but lol @ Dell monitor.
The-Excel: Sorry but I don't know what wayward is :P

mutilate: I just spent all my money, but as soon as I save up some more I'm gona get a nice new monitor.

Tragic Hero: I was going to get heatsinks for both my processor and graphics card, but because I got such a nice case I didn't have much money left and everything is running cool at the moment.
@Resonance

As long as you thought of it. Just assumed you opted out for some reason. Kudos to you and your rig.
that's a mighty fine word processing device you got there.
Seriously, drop everything and get a widescreen LCD. Now.
Nice system but yeah that monitor is a killer.
Nice. Very Nice. If my motherboard hadn't crapped out I would invite you to some Cod4 fun with my clanmates.
LOL @ Rofflewaffle's misfortune.
Guys, CRT monitors are not bad (that one in particular does not seem to be one of the "flat" crt). In fact LCD monitors with more than 2ms of response look like crap, specially for videogames. I know they are nicer and everything, but still some CRT are way better than a not so good LCD. And a very good LCD for playing and movies (not for office use, meaning word and internet), is going to be expensive.
Taumpytears...you heartless newbie... ;) Who went 4-0 and who died 8 times in a row whilst playing on your pc...thats right... Waffles>Taumpy
that rig is a base rig for DX10 gaming, nice one... if you dont have Vista hold out till Sp1 to buy it or stay the corse and get Sp3 for XP... with that rig the only upgrades to future proof are quad core/ram/vista thats the only thing i see you possibly needing in 3 years time
@Oninusar
I'm sticking with XP, dx10 isn't worth the hassle of vista.
