What are your computer specs? Thread.

Currently a Dell Inspiron 5555 with:
AMD A8-7410 CPU, 2.2 GHz (turbos to 2.5)
12 GB RAM, 1600 MHz
2 TB 5400 RPM HDD

For my "If I Get The Money For It" Build, see here. Current cost runs to roughly $2800.
Man, if I though $1,000 was enough, I need to save throughout 2 to 3 months of work for a part-time job I have. I am currently using an AMD computer, which uses a AMD FX 6 Core Processor with HD Raedon 5450 right now.

I can't wait to get my upcoming setup build, hopefully I can post pictures of it here.
 
The finished spare.

Asus P5Q Pro Turbo
Intel E6240 @ 2.13Ghz.
Team Xtreem Dark DDRII 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15
Asus GT710
NEC USB 3.0 card.
WD 500GB HDD
Corsair VS350 PSU
Silverstone GD09 case.
Phanteks Low profile CPU heatsink black edition
Customized Windows 7 HP SP1 x64
 
Updates to my PC situation.

Replaced much of my simrig pc and built an all new pc in my room for moba and fps.

An update on my room build. Was able to overclock the CPU as follows;

Stock Clock (1.12V and 3.5Ghz turbo'd to 3.9Ghz)
With Base Voltage (Stable 4.5Ghz)
With Voltage to 1.3V (Stable 4.8Ghz)
With Voltage to 1.4V (Stable 4.9Ghz but temps were over 80c during load so no go for me)

Was really hoping to hit 5.0 once I saw the initial overclocks with such low Voltage. But to no avail. The CPU hit it's wall at 4.8 - 4.9ish :/

My pewter apparently has the CPU of the Orion flight computer. It's also often as silent as the outside of it (when running, yes). GPU is an R200.
My laptop runs Wasteland 2, has some more RAM (14x512 MB) and no dedicated GPU.

My CPU fan died and as I was a little bit bored with my old case (window, lights, noise) so I got a regular one. Last snap before it was all hidden :D

@Grayfox
Why pick a mobo that is more expensive than the cpu itself especially if it is a lga 115x platform?
I cant understand why people that are running the mainstream platform aim for so expensive mobos when a 99buck z-mobo will be as good? You wasted over 200bucks for a mobo when you could instead choose a cheap x99platform or just a 6700k with a more reasonable price mobo for way more performance especially if you are running at 100mhz over stock only.
You need dual lan? You could pick a gigabyte z-170 mini itx mobo and be able to overclock to even higher mem speeds than with this one.

But anyway, how does it look with the sidepanel on?

100Mhz now, will go higher later.
Just need to read up on the Z170 overclocking methods as they have changed a little over the Z77

I have no need for an i7
I have 2 PCIe card, may get a 3rd, so iTX is out.

Are you forgetting about australia technology tax.

The cheapest X99 board is $350
And it is a piece of crap As-Rock

A 6700K is $490
A 6800K is $610

The look is darker due to the tint when I get a new soldering iron I will make up the LEDs for the case lighting.

I live in Scandinavia so I know about over prices too, :)

But still, that board is a bad deal if it will be paired with a simple i5. A cheap z170+ with an 6700/6700k would be a better buy than your setup right now. If you dont need an i7 why are you then ocing your i5? a stock i7 is often faster than an oced i7 right now.
If you look in my sign you see that I used a cheap 100dollar z-170 Gigabyte mobo. Sure no sli support but sli/xfire is crap nowadays any ways. The thing that z170-z270 has changed compared to the z77 is ony giving you the option to oc with the baseclock ie the pci-e frequency. Using that i got my locked 6700 to 4.8 at 1.4volt at 80c :P

All you need to do is up the multiplier and the voltage like before. If you have switched from a different brand some stuff will be called a bit differently.

All Z170 boards started at 300 here.

Plus I now run the 6600K @ 4.7 @ 1.3v

Tried 4.9Ghz but the voltage was going over 1.4 with quick messing with voltages.

Had an Asus before.
On my Asus I could use a Negative offset IIRC, now I have to use positive

Will have to take my time if I want to hit the 5Ghz mark.

My GTX1080 is running at 2.1Ghz

Will attempt overclocking ram after the CPU.

My 6600k did the same thing at 4.7, then when i tried to go for more, I needed to pour loads of voltage in.

134 AUD= 100 USD If you would take something cheep like a Gigabyte z170 hd3 mobo. Right now. if we would ad 50Aud for the price at the launch it would be 140 USD at launch.

Intel mobos are not like the old AMD boards. Intel is quite strict about what quality the intel mobos are allowed to meet. Not like Amd in the past, when the cheap ones blew up right in your face :D

So now you know, do not aim for the most expensive ones as they are just, expensive :P

I did check the prcing, There were no Z170 boards for 150, chepest IIRC was 270 and it was an AS-Rock and it looked ugly.

The B series were under 200

Dont know what the tech tax is like in sweden, but here we can easily pay 2x more than the US for the same thing.

And I started building this before the new Z270 boards came out.

And do not want nag but start always with looking at lowest priced boards with the chipset you want and "work" your way up so to say. Because buying a more expensive mobo will not get you anything performance wise compared to a faster cpu or gpu or in some cases faster ram.
I dont know how serious this site is but I did found this:

Those are H boards.
Not for overclocking.

I know I Looked at the Z-170 but somehow did paste the H170 board and did not look at the link after that.

http://www.shopbot.com.au/intel-z170/motherboard/computer-components/australia/81/g/38914?order=1

asrock from 130 to gigabyte 170 aud. much cheaper then the super expensive but offer no better value for you over the other cheap z-170 boards.

having a i7 with a cheap z-board with your fast ram and gpu would give probably about 15-20 more fps at 1080p res. So your choice of mobo was not that great.

Tried a Ryzen today, was impressed how low cpu load was. Fps wise it was about the same as my rig. Got really impressed to be honest, but there are no min-itx boards out yet, gonna snatch up the cheapest am4 mini-itx mobo I can find after the summer :P

Plus you looking at prices now, after the Z270 boards are out.
I started this build before Z270, so the Z170 were at normal price.

I just got side tracked with other things

And this is the board I liked the look of and wouldn't clash with the theme of the build.

A lot of boards had red accents or some other color, and I did read up on reviews.

Not my first PC build, it is my 4th.
 
CPU: i5 6600K

Eventually there will be proper water cooling in there. This build started 9 months ago without a GPU in a tiny crappy case, and evolved to here much to the chagrin of my wallet.
