Desktop: i3 Gen 7 CPU w/8 GB Micron memory MSI motherboard. MSI Nvidia GTX 1050 video card. Previously had dual MSI 1050 video cards, but sold one. Assembled the rig for crypto-mining. Desktop sits idle.

My current work laptop is a Core i7 9th gen CPU, 64 GB RAM, 1.5 TB SSD HDD and 4 GB Nvidia Quadro T2000 video. The SOB screams!

386-SX 20Mhz, 2 MBs RAM, SVGA Graphics, 2400 baud modem. Livin' large. That was my first system circa 1990 or 1991. Wing Commander and Wing Commander 2 were the bomb-diggity.

Asus ROG Strix motherboard
Intel 10900f
32gb Crucial Ballistix
1tb NVME, 1tb SSD, 500gb SSd
A massive MSI 1060 6gb video card

Been sitting on this damn 1060 for ages thanks to the video card apocalypse. Now I'm thinking about just keeping the thing until Nvidia drops the 4000 series. Almost pulled the trigger on a 3070ti today but didn't.

yeah same here man. My pc is beefy as hell minus the gpu. A 3070ti is 5 percent faster than a normal 3070.

How's the parts situation these days? My son upgraded his PC last year and had a heck of a time finding a video card.

A lot easier to find a video card now. Almost all of the usual places have plenty of them in stock. Prices are still inflated, but they are coming down every day. Will be at MSRP soon.

Things are better now. You can find most any part that isn't a video card, but prices are just a tad bit inflated.

You can also find video cards now, but you have to work at it like it's a job, and you cannot hesitate when you find one for sale. Buy it or lose it. You have 30 minutes tops.

Hoping to build a new PC this summer. My current PC was built in 2015 and is finally showing its age.

planning to go with the new Alder Lake intel chipset, 32-64 GB of ram, one of the new M.2 SSD’s, and a 3070 or 3070ti GPU because I have an ultrawide monitor and I’ve read that those are great cards for that resolution. Might even be a total ******* and throw in some RGB lighting

Funny, I think that's about when I built mine. And same thing, it's starting to show it's age. I'd like to build a new one in a year or two.. more so just to keep my IT/PC build skills up to par. I'll be racking and stacking Dell R750's later this week.. about 7 of them at roughly $20,000 a piece. So one could say I "have my hands on the biggest hardware"

I want to build a PC one of these days. A budget one that can still run most games at a decent level. If I choose to game on it (mostly play on console). I helped my son build his. Wasn't hard but just have to be careful with making sure all parts will work together. As soon as my son moves out his room becomes my man cave. Then I will have the space for one.

Haven't built a rig in a decade, and it is in storage at this point. I kinda lost my interest in any type of gaming over that decade, only thing I seem to still like is Dirt 2.

Specs back then were: core i7 860, 64gb SSD (I think I paid $160 for it back then), 1 TB storage drive, 16GB DDR3 memory, and a Geforce GTX 460, back then that mainstream gaming GPU cost me ~$125.

I much prefer smaller computers these days that are very efficient and much more capable than you would think. I bought a stick PC last year with pretty minimal specs off Amazon warehouse for ~$125 that I took on vacation last July and it served us well playing Jackbox games like Fibbage the day Hurricane Elsa (by then a tropical storm) scraped the Outer Banks. It's also capable of playing 4K movies.
