My PC build consists of;
Processor: Intel i5 quadcore 4670k 4th gen
Motherboard: (i did have one but its faulty so im looking for a new one) when it was working i had a Gigabyte B85-HD3
RAM: 16 GB 4x4GB Corsair Vengance
PSU: Corsiar 600M
GPU: Asus Nvidia Geforce 650ti
HDD or SSD: 1Tb WD green drive - 128 GB SanDisk SSD
Network: TP-Link TL-WDN3800 N600 Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter
Case: NZXT phantom 410

When it was working my main use for this system was music production and video editing along with some small amounts of gaming.

Spec in sig.

i only posted it in this section rather than the general PC section since i was wondering what other PC gamer use their rigs for other than gaming...
 
For my spec see sig below.

As well as gaming - I use mine for streaming HD content and encoding, Blu-Ray ripping and encoding, video/photo editing, as a media server and general computing tasks. TBH - although it does all this very well - I intend to build a HTPC to share some of these tasks as I frequently have to reconfigure the PC for different uses.

I wouldn't be without an i7 for encoding, ripping and editing. So - if you can - upgrade your CPU to an i7 it makes a big difference.

C'mon people let's not snipe with personal insults ... again ... it's getting a bit tedious. Again.
 
For the last year or so I've been using a system with the following:-

Fractal Core 1000 Case
Intel Core i3 530
Gigabyte H55M-UD2H
4GB Corsair XMS3 RAM
64GB Samsung 830 SSD
500W Akasa PSU

Used for internet and e-mail.

Thought I'd give the thread some balance being at the low end of the spec chain. :p

Like the old chestnut, "...up here for finking, down there for dancing.." I have a PC for gaming, a HTPC for HTPC stuff, Macbook for browsing and ripping (IVI + Handbrake) iPad for reading comics, Kindle for reading books....
 
i72600K, 16gb ram, 780, used for Games, animation, video editing and porn.

I've curbed my spending on my PC recently after buying a 780 and playing mostly Hotline Miami and super meatboy afterwards :facepalm::D

And i also took my Noctua's out as i realised I like the noise of my cheap fans to cover my tinnitus
