Gaming: What's in your Rig?
-
Windows 7, Intel i7 something or other, NVidia 680. SSD of course!
-
I'm not a big gamer, but I recently upgraded my home workstation so I can get 60-80FPS in my Steam games.
Except DayZ, I'm on hiatus from that.
-
At the moment I'm only running an AMD A10 APU, with 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 660 SC. Still working on building a rig in a RaidMax Augusta tower with a i7-4770K, 32 GB of RAM, dual Radeon R9 290X cards, and a dedicated soundcard and it's all liquid cooled.

I'm running Steam & Origin games on my Alienware M17X2 laptop. Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64-bit). Currently 8 GB of RAM. i5 Quad Core (each one @ 2.53 MHz). AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5870 video card with 1 GB onboard. 750 GB of hard drive space (250 + 500 GB drives). It was a free upgrade from a Dell XPS, so I'm not complaining! One day, I'm hoping to switch out the drives with SSDs and slap a second 5870 video card into it as well.

Command and Conquer Generals was the last PC game I truly played. I think I had a P4 with 4 Gigs RAM and an ATI 2nd level video card ($500 was enough - $800 was just crazy).
-
I'm currently playing Knight of the Old Republic on the PC via Steam. I almost never have time for it though.
-
With my daughters I am playing Chaos in Deponia.

@Dashrender One of my favorite RTS games, really miss when the C&C games were good.

I really cut my teeth on PC gaming with C&C and followed it all the way to Generals - to me the golden days of PC gaming. I've never been one for FPS, but I love resource management games.
-
About the only games I don't play are turn based strategy. Huge fan of racing simulators, but I've been rather disappointed by the ones for PC.
-
I don't like turn based either. Way too boring. I get distracted and do other things while waiting on people.

@scottalanmiller Same here. Don't mind a classic JRPG once in a while though.
-
I've bought FF7 and FF8 from Steam:)

I loved the Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest in Japan) series (1 to 4 or 5) back on my NES. Then I left the console realm and never really played the series again. I keep meaning to buy the ones I can for other platforms now, just haven't.
-
My favorite of all those games was Legend of Dragoon, which I believe was a Sony PlayStation 1 exclusive. VERY lengthy game, came on 4 discs.

Wow. Very old. Never played that one but I remember it.

Dragon Quest VII on the PS2 is one of my favorite games ever!!
-
PS2 was the best console, such a great library spanning so many genres.
-
I really loved the PS2. So good. I own like 25 amazing games for that.
-
The EMotion Engine chip really broke a lot of ground.
