RE: Share your potato - Murdoch Murdoch - May 2, 2016
CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K (OC to 4.4Ghz, with an air cooler, while still getting temps no higher than 75 celsius. Pretty proud of that.)
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 (Nvidia) (Also overclocked a little bit)
Motherboard: Asus Z97-P
SSD: 250GB Samsung 840 Evo
Hard drive: 2TB Western Digital Black Series
RAM: 16GB DDR3 @ 1866Mhz
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 (Fucking great case)
Attached are some potato quality photos taken from my crappy phone camera. Enjoy. (Old photo, since then got a dedicated sound card because my motherboard's onboard was terrible, and put the graphics card in the 16x slot instead of the 8x one (derp))

Those CPU coolers confuse me. Surely having the fan like that disrupts the airflow?

No, for one simple reason, convection.
The fan on the bottom of the heatsink pulls the hot air upwards from the GPU, and the heat pipes conduct the heat from the CPU, and the heat is then pulled out by the exhaust fan at the top left there. So if anything it's a 2 in one cooling solution sort of thing, as it helps my GPU stay a little cooler as well as my CPU.
Stock coolers tend to just be reliant on the fan rather than heat pipes, and commonly the thermal paste is sub-par. This cooler cost me £25 and saved me £100 getting me performance similar to that of an i7 4790k at 3.5Ghz
RE: Share your potato - jarz - May 4, 2016
So basically since its a $500 case, I have a good computer under the hood.
I have a small processor from Intel, one of their Micro™ lines, it's pretty rare and for the prong-count it chucks out a pretty impressive 4.5ghz.
I have on board MOBO graphics, but I added a GeForce sticker so my fps stays around 144.
4gb of DDR3 RAM with platinum tipped inserts that go into the MOBO. That makes the interaction ratio between the ram and the computer go by so much faster. With that in mind, that makes my computer lighter, which means it's easier to transport from LAN party to LAN party, because I always come in first place and get invited to new ones.
I have a 350W power supply, fully modular. No wires are existent in my case, and that's not because of pro cable management, but rather WiFi compatibility with SATA ports and the like. Signals are sent from the PSU to the various components. All of it is controlled by gauges on the front of my rig.
I have adapted the Clapper (https://youtu.be/Ny8-G8EoWOw) into my own patented LED light switch. Essentially, I have to clap the theme song to Metal Gear Solid, and the lights turn on.
On the outside of my rig, I have magnets and stickers of various obscure computer places such as Tiger Direct. My most notable sticker is the Geek Squad logo, and that certifies me as a legal computer technician.
If you weren't impressed enough, I'm the co-founder of Python. I still use the IBM keyboard I used to create the language to this very day.
My mouse is a Logitech G502.

Motherboard: Asus X99-Deluxe (Because I went SUPER overkill on the Processor)
RAM: Currently 16GB DDR4, motherboard has slots for 64GB, half of the slots are blocked by the CPU cooler. Will double it eventually.
GPU: Asus Strix nVidia GTX 970 (That is my weakest link. Will be replaced eventually)
C: Drive: 500GB Crucial SSD
D: Drive: 4TB Western Digital HDD (7200RPM)
PSU: Dying

OS: Windows 10
The Suitcase Hogger:
Asus Republic of Gamers G75V
CPU: Intel i7-3630QM @2.4GHz
GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 660M
RAM: 16GB (Upgraded from 8GB)
Cooling 1.2 fans (Main fan has been louder than my Mom's car for over 2 years now)

I saved up for a bit and went full on Overkill on mine.
$2000 later and I can't run games like GTA5 on high because of GPU+PSU problems

If you knew anything about i7s you would know that there is virtually zero difference between an i7 and an i5 on the gaming scale.
Or second though, go ahead and spend $100 extra for something you don't need.
