We know the options are not limited in how you configure your gaming rig. Some of us go all out and have machines that can be called art. While others barely run.

This is not intended to be a 'one up' on anyone or intended to 'flex', but a chance to see what others are using and see what options are available.

I'll start, I am currently running more of a home office set up, but it has a decent gaming capacity.

HP ProDesk 490 G3
Intel i7-6700
MS-7957 motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
16GB DDR4
500GB SSD and 1TB HDD

Duel LG Flatron W2243 displays

It may not be top of the line, but it gets the job done.

I built mine a few years ago, still working great for me!
i7-7700
ASUS ROG Strix Z270G motherboard
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1070
32GB DDR4
512GB SSD
My favorite part was the case: Fractal Design Define Mini C

My main goal was to have a quiet setup, so I didn't get an overclocked CPU, and looked for cases that would dampen some of the sound. I sacrificed the CD drive for a closed front, which helps with the sound, and it looks pretty nice! I definitely don't miss the CD drive

Hi. I own a mac.

That about sums it up for me.

I do have a decent Steam library but I think my PC gaming days are over. Vidya gaming is done primarily on the couch these days. I'll admit I do get the itch though - especially with all the chatter at work. For now, I live vicariously through all of you.

It's true. 60fps and larger FOV in D2 does call to me, not gonna lie.

HA! I put it down as free because I had already bought it a while ago. I'm just updating that link now, as I have replaced the GPU with a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070.

The video card that was "free" was one I used to mine some LTC a while back. Paid itself off several times :P:
