I realize this post is a bit dated but I seen too much Intel listed. I have to give AMD a shout out. Desktop: Mint Linux 17 AMD Eight-Core 4GHz 8 GB DDR3 HDD's SATA3 72K RPM 250 GB 500 GB 500 GB 1.5 TB Laptop: Arch Linux AMD Four-Core 2GB 4 GB DDR3 500GB SATA3 72K RPM I really don't need all that power but I don't like to upgrade all that often so when I do I get the best available.

AMD Phenom 965 quad @3.6 Ghz air cooled 8 GB RAM Dual DVD RW drives 2 harddrives GTX 470 video 3rd generation of this box from 2001 no overclocking, prefer stability over anything plays every game at 1080p at 60fps then I have 12 other gaming rigs from over the years..... 4.7 Mhz Packard Bell PC10-2; two floppy no HDD Hercules graphics was my first computer in 1987. This is for my LL game on floppy. I pretty have one box per game I really enjoy. My fav OS is Win98, then DOS. Win 7 is more unstable than Win95 from my experience.

I was an intern at a PC repair shop when that abomination came out, still get night sweats from that soul-sucking OS

An old post revived? My experience has been to buy the proper platform for the task. After numerous upgrades I find a game console best for gaming and a computer best for computing! lol I have 5 machines currently. Tablet with Android and lollipop OS on the smartphone.

Tablet with Android and lollipop OS on the smartphone. why bother with 'numerous upgrades' when you can just build one (for cheaper generally) for the specific tasks... if given a dollar amount say $600, I can build a better P.C then the equivalent P.C off the shelf

You do not have to tell me. I go back to commodore 64 and DOS days. My first tower I built from jobber components. A basic Apple tower was 5K. I built mine for 3200. Slow as hell and numerous crashes. Some people have no idea how Bill Gates changed the world with windows. Look at the technology we have now. Google rules online search but most still run Microsoft OS. Developers might lean towards Linux or other OS.

@ BuoyToy: Mine isn't a gaming system. I built it for 3d modelling/rigging/animation, and image/sound/video-editing, and it enables me to have several large software programs open at once (ie. photoshop, After Effects, PoserPro, Soundbooth, etc.) rather than having to close one application before opening another. I can instantly switch between programs without waiting for load-times. This is a massive time-saver in a production pipeline. Nothing short of a full desktop pc would suffice for my workflow. Laptops, tablets, and cel-phones are too limited, functionally, for my uses, and are all disposable hardware. I can rebuild my system as my needs change. (Note: I've been using the same tower since win98.)

@ BuoyToy: Likewise... I started with the original TRS-80. (Now known as the model-1, with 4k RAM, and cassette tapes for storage... ah, good times, good times. Lol.) We pre-ordered, and so, received ours 3 weeks before they were even delivered to the first stores for distribution.
