PC Build - Battlestations

Hey all, I built this PC in late 2017 for the main purpose of Video Editing. It's had a small upgrade since then, but otherwise great.
ASUS ROG B-350F
Ryzen 7 1700 -> OC to 3.6GHz
2x 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHz -> OC to 2933MHz
Intial GPU was an old R9-290x upgraded to Aorus RX 580 8GB
4x case fans plus Wraith Spire on the CPU
Still using a Western Digital Black HDD (Big fan of WD, have had Seagate fail twice)
Corsair RM850x PSU.
Old but really solid still.
Some small issues with the 1st gen ryzen chip but otherwise I've been really happy with the performance of the build.
Thanks for reading!

[?] What's your PC specs?

Just a simple thread where everybody can share their specs if they want to. Normally I'd start off but the graphics card takes my 9.8 down to a 4.9... so yeah.
It was a suggestion to do this in another of my threads, and here it is.
MSI 890FXA-GD65
AMD Phenom II X6 1090t OC to 3.7. At stock voltage.
Wintec One 8GB DDR3 1600
AMD Radeon 6770 1GB. OC'd GPU clock to 950MHZ and memory clock to 1300MHZ
DiabloTek PHD850 850w
OCZ Vertex 3 120gb SSD
Western Digital Caviar Black 750GB
AOC 20" something or other
Hyper 212 Plus
Windows 7 Home Premium and LMDE.
It only cost like $700. Which isn't bad. Need to upgrade the graphics card though.
My laptop is the Gateway NV78 with LMDE on it(after 2.6.35 it broke backlight. I made up a guide to fix it) I got it in Nov of 09. With Linux it still beats out many.
Asus p6t
Intel i7 920 2.67 @ 4Ghz
12gb @1605Mhz
3+ TB on 5 drives
Xfx 6850be @900 core clock and 1200Mhz x 4 ( I think that's how it breaks down)
Blu-ray/hd-dvd/dvd-rw DL
Samsung 55in led @1080p

Lol why do you need a 55in led monitor? I just swapped down from a 32 to a 25... Perfect for me 32 was just a bit to big
You can look up my full specs on OCN, but here's the basics:
ASUS P67 Sabertooth
16GB Vengeance 1600MHz

I sit back like 8 feet, the only downfall is the usb extension cords, because wireless has too much delay in games. I thought the 55 would be to big, but it was free and my 46 was dying. I ended up falling in love. Blu-rays look fantastic except for some flashlighting in darks scenes cause the tvs bent, but it was free lol

Nice VR setup
Thanks, it's the original Vive Pro, got it a little over 2 years ago when I built this machine.
That head stand is actually from a Call of Duty collectors edition that came with a (poorly) working set of night vision goggles, the NV goggles have long since gone off the fritz, but I remembered I still had the stand when I got the VR headset.
What do you need all of that storage for? Just curious, because it's more than a little over average lol.
I guess I'm a data hoarder, might need an intervention. Still have a SATA slot available, I'll probably wait for a 20TB drive to fill that vacancy.
now u need a custom watercooling loop in that case
Thought about it, maybe in the next upgrade.

How much total did you spend on that?
I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and respectfully decline to answer your question.
But yeah, that was a lot. Still, always wanted a dream build and I did get a chance to build it for way less than it would have normally cost, so I took the opportunity.

The 2020 White AMD Beast Build

Hello all,
At the tail end of 2019, I found out that I was going to be working from home due to the pandemic and I decided that I wanted to shift back to PC gaming after taking a hiatus from it for many years.
The build ended up serving multiple purposes for me as I was still heavily involved with my custom Android ROM project (Dirty Unicorns) at the time. However, as time progressed -- free time did as well and as such all good things eventually come to an end.
Be that as it may, the build is still fantastic and powers me through all the games that I want to play with ease and still leaves some room for upgrades in some regards; mostly aesthetically (case, particularly).
My specs are as follows:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3900X
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Vision
Motherboard: Gigabyte AORUS X570 Master (Rev 1.0)
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 64GB (4 x 16GB) 3600MHz CL16
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i RGB Platinum SE
Storage: 2x 1TB Sabrent Rocket 4.0, 2TB Corsair MP600 Force
PSU: Corsair RMx 850W
Case: Corsair iCUE 465X RGB
Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQR -- 32" Curved/1440p/144Hz/HDR
Pardon the dust on my kb lol.
Some upgrades to the beast:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL
AIO: Corsair H150i Elite Capellix (w/ LCD upgrade kit)
Case: Corsair 5000X RGB
Fans: Corsair SP120 RGB Elite
Fan Controller: Corsair Commander Core XT
Some visuals

My PC & Laptop

My main use case for these computers is uni, I'm doing cyber security and need something powerful for encryption/decryption, running multiple VMs at once, computing hashes, etc. I'll also use it for my internship.
Desktop:
CPU: Intel Core i9-13900KF
CPU Cooler: EKWB AIO D-RGB 280mm
GPU: MSI GAMING X TRIO RX 6950 XT
PSU: Phanteks Revolt Pro 1000W
RAM: Kingston FURY Renegade 32GB DDR5-6000
Mobo: Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ELITE AX DDR5
Storage 1: WD-Black SN850X 1TB
Storage 2: Crucial MX500 2TB
Optical Drive: LG WH14NS40
Case: Fractal Design Pop Air
Laptop:
Lenovo Legion 5 Pro
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
GPU: RTX 3060
RAM: Kingston FURY 32GB DDR4-3200
Storage: 512GB SSD
Both the desktop and laptop you listed have powerful components that are capable of handling demanding tasks such as encryption/decryption, running multiple VMs, and computing hashes.
The desktop you listed has an Intel Core i9-13900KF processor, which is one of the latest and most powerful CPUs from Intel, and an MSI GAMING X TRIO RX 6950 XT graphics card, which is a high-end GPU that can handle gaming and other graphics-intensive tasks. The 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM and the WD-Black SN850X 1TB NVMe SSD are also top-of-the-line components that provide fast performance.
On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptop is also a powerful machine, with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor and an RTX 3060 graphics card. The 32GB DDR4-3200 RAM and 512GB SSD are also good components for a laptop.
If you need a powerful machine for your cyber security studies and internship, the desktop you listed may be the better option as it has more powerful components overall. However, the laptop is more portable and can be useful if you need to work on the go or need a more compact machine. Ultimately, the decision depends on your specific needs and preferences.
