This is my latest and greatest setup. I haven't posted on the forums in a couple months and I was wanting to come back with a bang (sorta). This is my latest gaming setup, and I want your guys opinions on it, please. Just leave your comment below, and tell me what I could do to improve it.

Without further ado, here are some photos:

ASRock Extreme3 Gen3 Z68 Motherboard
16GB G.SKILL RipJaws X Series 2133MHz RAM
Phantek PH-TC14PE Heatsink (wasn't exactly sure what to do with the 3 fan cables. There was no where that I could route them. I tried.)
HIS IceQ X Radeon HD 6950 2GB (Plan on crossfiring next month, and I will be upgrading to a Corsair 750W Modular power supply the month after. I know the 650W is just enough to handle crossfire.)

2TB HDD
128GB Crucial M4 SSD (For Windows 7 and a couple other programs. Still have 90GB free on it. )

This is after a couple hours of gaming on DayZ. When it is just idling.







That is my gaming setup. Please be sure to tell me what you think!

I am typing on the same keyboard and using the same headset at this very moment Sidewinder x4 keyboard? I think you might even have the same ASUS monitor as me! PM me the full name of it because I might forget to check this thread (90% more than likely).

I suggest upgrading your PSU. I have an 850 watt PSU, and I don't overclock or crossfire or anything. It's there just in case. You're working your PC and leaving the bare minimum amount of energy left. As for that GPU, it's not that bad. I've seen some vids on it, and it does a good job for the price. Also, why do you have 16 GB of RAM? I get it saves you time and it's better to have just in case (not sure what for though), but you don't need that much

How much did it cost? If you have the money, then it's whatever, go ham! I give it a solid 7.5/10

I am going to upgrade the PSU the month after I crossfire. I found a calculator on Google that allowed me to choose the parts that I had, the clock on my processor and all, and as of right now I am using about 550W of power. When I added another 6950 to the calculator it was using a total of 640W. So I am just in range. I will be getting a Corsair 750W Modular PSU.

The reason for 16GB of RAM is for rendering videos in Adobe After Effects. I do a lot of stuff on Youtube, and AAE uses about 14GB of it. I have 2.5GB reserved for other applications. Render times are insane.

Also, I got the graphics card when it was one of the best things out. I think I first completed the build back in May, and that was before the 7xxx series came out (And when I had a Hyper 212 EVO). That is why I am crossfiring. I get 680 performance for about the same price of a 680.If you add the cost of both the cards ($250).

I would NOT trust that stand underneath your computer. I had one just like it under a brand new computer, and it randomly collapsed. However, on the setup itself I would rate it a dayumm, gurl (9/10)
