Pictures of my PC room are in my profile. My system was cutting edge when I built it, but is now a bit long in the tooth. I guess I'll have to update it within the year.
Its a Quad Core AMD running at ~3ghz. 2 * 500gb HDs (Samsungs and very fast), 4GB DDR3 (might be 8GB, but done think so), 8800 GT (still runs the latest games well).
More importantly, I've a 36" screen, dolby surround sound, G15 gaming keyboard, razor mouse, stylish (though not incredibly comfy) seat and black glass desk which looks lovely. I've also got 4 other laptops and another desktop and a couple of tablets, but then computers are my job and gaming used to be my hobby.
I'm in the same boat, but games nowadays don't seem to be stressing my system. I used to have to make an upgrade at least once a year on video cards but I'm still using the same 5870's (crossfire) for years now. The AMD 965 has treated me very well.
If I were you just invest in a small SSD for a boot drive. Your mobo probably only handles SATA II, so they are rather cheap now. It was the most noticeable upgrade I have ever done.
My rig:
AMD 965 Black Edition @ 3.9ghz
64gb SSD boot drive, two VelociRaptor 300gb drives for everything else.
16gb Ram
Two ATI 5870's (crossfire)
I've the same processor. It's a good one. I'll check out ssd, and thanks. I'm playing GW2 at max detail and was the same with diablo and skyrim, and so the old rust bucket is still hacking it. Can't see me buying any other games for a while, but so it will do me.0 -

Mine is a few years old and I need to upgrade! I'd like to build a new one from scratch but I've never done it before. But it has:
Intel i5 750
8gb RAM (cuz I jsut added 4gb yest)
500gb hard drive
Nvidia GTS450--need to upgrade BAD but i can't afford to drop 200$
24 inch monitor and i play at 1920x1200 or whatever it is
I use to get 60fps on ultra and now i only get 40 so i lowered the settings
hence i need to upgrade graphics and get a ssd drive. but then the cpu is old so i i feel like i shoud get a new one of those too, and if i do that ill need a new mobo most likely. so i should just do a complete system build lol 0 -
