[QUOTE=Sartek;29065029]Nah it's not prebuilt just a really budget gaming pc that is like 4 years old
No not at the moment as it only has a nvidia 9800gt thinking of building a new pc so will probably get a ati 6950 and a antec 750 earthwatt While I am saving money for the new pc.
Current specs are
Generic powersupply 400 watt I think as my old 700 watt powersupply blew up while playing css :S
p4 3.2ghz single core 64bit with hyperthreading
4gb of dualchannel ddr2 clocked at 666mhz
galaxy 9800gt 1gb vram overclocked by about 10%
lite-on 24x ide/ata? dvd burner
and a 80gb old sata wd Hardrive
using an external 1tb green wd on usb for steam and everything else
This is what it looks like with 2 monitors

Pentium 4 will bottleneck the shit out of the 6950.
It probably bottlenecks that 9800gt too.
You should probably just wait and do a full system overhaul.
I have a Pentium 4 and it is a huge bottleneck for my 4650.
I don't understand why people upgrade CPU and GPU separately.
By the time you can afford the other one, the one that has been bottlenecked all the time now costs 1/3 of the price.

Because sometimes the CPU is fine like my q9400 its not the greatest but its fine for gaming and sometimes its because the GPU dies and they need a new GPU to get the computer working again and upgrade in the process like the Pentium 4 I have, could have gone with a lower end GPU but that what happened.
[editline]10th April 2011[/editline]
and if you did both at once its a New build pretty much so its not really a upgrade.
just buy one that matches the other part.
You can buy a better one at at cheaper price at later time.
Unless you get it for like 10 bucks.
You might think it's better, but it is not because you used none of the extra speed or feature it offers,
like ATI 6xxx with a P4

holding an inventory in computer electronics isn't a smart choice at all.
This isn't the computer discussion thread.
Anyway, here is my shit setup right now. The reason it is all messy is because I am in the process of quite literally gutting my room. We're setting it up to be painted and have new furniture put in so everything is kinda piled onto my desk.

The camera is shit, and this is only 1/4 of my room
BTW the date is wrong, this was taken not more than a month ago
How can you people have messy desks? It would drive me nuts.

Believe me it does drive me nuts. I can't wait till the summer when this room is completely redone and clean, it's going to be awesome.

Or you just take 60 minutes of your time, Clean up that shit. Throw shit away and have a semi-nice desk until you redo your shit.
You're gonna have to clean that shit up anyway, Doesn't matter if you do it now or in the summer.
Whenever i come into this thread, i feel like cleaning up my room, then i realise i have no where to put this broken half of a sliding door, as well as other things that could be a gone.

I have no where to put the shit. most of it is stuff i need, just bunched up on my table. the house is stuffed with crap from the basement which is having mold cleanup work done on it
I threw the stuff on the table to make room to take out furniture for painting, and once I get room I will take the rest of the stuff out to my porch, probably a few days from now.
By cleaning in the summer, I mean making it clean in the sense that there will be new furniture and a new desk, and it wont look as bulky and junky.

Found this little beauty next to trash... Still working. Who would throw this piece of gaming history next to trash can?
Finally cleaned up the mess of wires under my desk and had a little rearrangement.

Correct, running two 100w Peavy PA Speakers, got the whole lot for £190 like 5 years ago. I love the clean sound the marshall has.

Do you use a power attenuator? If not, that's like ridiculously loud for a bedroom amp. And I must agree, my favourite clean amps are the Marshall JTM30 and the Fender Hot Rod Deville.

Nope haven't got one of them, just using what you see in the picture, thought to be honest when I'm running ME-50 -> Marshall the main volume never goes higher than 1 because of how powerful the sound is, though I can probably turn it up quite a bit and nobody in the house will hear me because of where the room is located, lucky I guess.
Jesus motherfucking christ, I have to clean up my room and put my computer in there.
I'll do it tomorrow, I swear.
Welp, I didn't clean my room today.
