CPU: Ryzen 3600 (£160, Amazon, 2020)

CPU cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock 140mm (£30, Scan, 2020)

Motherboard: MSI Mortar Max (£96, Scan, 2020)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB @ 3200 MHz (£65, Scan, 2020) though they're bugging out so using TEAMGROUP RAM currently.

GPU: 980 Ti (£160, Ebay, 2019)

Storage: 1GB Toshiba HDD (£38, Scan, 2014), 500GB Crucial SSD (£53, Amazon, 2020)

PSU: 750W Seasonic M12II (£80, Scan, 2014)

Fans: A few 120mm and 140mm be quiet! and Enermax ones from the Bit-Tech forum for £10 or £20.

Case: A big black one / Silverstone RL04B (£30, Scan, 2014)

Monitor: Either my old 24" Samsung TV (Christmas present!) or my 42" Panasonic Plasma (£150, Facebook, 2014).

OS: Windows 10

And... a DVD RW drive, keyboard and mouse of course

It can generally go 60 FPS on Ultra (at 1080p), though with next gen games like Watch Dogs Legion and Cyberpunk it was 30 FPS. Before I upgraded the CPU/RAM/mobo I was using a near decade-old 2500K (and briefly 2600K) system and that had no problems with even the likes of RDR2.

I only upgraded GPU because my GTX 780 died. I got an SSD because I was getting BSODs and thought it was old driver issues, but it wasn't, otherwise I might not've bothered.

Howzat? Or was it my Windows 98 / XP PC you wanted specs of? :lol:

It's pretty sweet. I initially had the 1TB drive in my XPS 13 while I was travelling with work, but now that job no longer exists it made more sense to throw it in the desktop and put the original 256GB back in. As for the SATA drive, I think my A4 is just a little out on its tolerances and won't close fully with a mechanical drive installed in the front, so I had no choice other than to pick up a very reasonable SSD drive that was a couple of mm thinner :ahee:

Yeah. I think it has taken a toll on my eyes as well. 27 inches is enough and definitely not ultra wide.

how much did you save? I had a look at pcs for a computer which matches the specs I wanted and they charge ~£200 more than the cost of components (albeit said computer is less specced than yours)

Oh geez now I have to remember it all.

I use two separate motherboards for XP and 98, since the XP isn't compatible, so I use the same case for both and just swap the motherboard.

Windows 98 CPU: Pentium II 450MHz + cooler

Windows 98 motherboard: MSI MS-6147

Windows 98 RAM: 2 x 512MB Kingston RAM @ 133MHz (no typos this time )

Windows 98 GPU: The motherboard's ATI Rage Pro Turbo. I might get a Voodoo card or something.

Windows 98 sound card: None needed yet.

Windows 98 HDD: Quantum Fireball, I think 20GB (which is a LOT)

XP CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

XP cooler: Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2

XP motherboard: ASUS P5N-E SLI

XP RAM: 4 x 1GB

XP GPU: 8800GT (512MB VRAM!)

XP HDD: I don't remember, 128GB maybe?

Case: Antec 660AMG

Fans: 2 little Cooler Master fans

PSU: Antec Earthwatts 500w

Drives: DVD, CD and floppy

I did a little gallery when I started it up:
