Post your computer configuration!

[JmZ]

CPU: i7 920 (not overclocked, yet) (thermalright heatsink w/ 1 noctua fan and 1 TR fan)
RAM: 6GB DDR3 1600mhz
GPU: GTX 285 FTW (nvidia ftw, pricey but they outperform ati)
HDD: 3x320GB, 1x1TB, 2x250GB
PSU: 850w enermax
Mobo: EVGA Classified (ridiculously expensive mobo, best i7 mobo available)

On a side note, SLI and crossfire are pointless. Unless you're some 3D modeler or similar, you will NEVER use the full power of all your GPUs combined.

JmZ Reviewed by JmZ on 3rd Sep 2009. Post your computer configuration! Just curious so i started this thread.So i will start Core 2 duo E7500 @ 2.93GHz 3GB RAM 250GB HDD Nvidia 9800GT DDR3 512MB video RAM Keep posting :) Rating: 5

I had my eye on the EVGA classified but found it seriously hard to justify spending that much money on a mobo. True tri-sli does sound tasty but would the gains be that noticeable considering that I'll never be able to afford a monitor that's capable of displaying 2560x1600?

What were your reasons for going with the EVGA JmZ?

Oh and I can attest that SLI/Crossfire comes in very useful when playing at high resolutions!

You can run things at very high resolutions with a single card such as my 285. Having SLI/crossfire is no true benefit, people just get it "for the hell of it".

Also, I agree it has a ridiculous price tag (the classified). But it was ?100 more than the next mobo down (an ASUS P6T of some kind) so, because I was spending a lot anyway, I thought why not?

I have been having problems i cant figure out though and nobody seems to be able to help me no matter where I post (not specifically mobo-related problems).

I suppose I bought two 285's for future proofing. Plus they display Crysis beeeyootifully @ 16xAA.

Totally wrong. I've tested few cards in SLI at the test center and they give significant boost in frame rate (games). So, they are not pointless

EDIT: Also, if you want to build a new gaming rig this is not the right time. I suggest you hold your horses for few more months as new hardware technology is expected to hit the shore soon.
