Who's upgrading their system for the ARR (Beta or Release) (Specs?)

[Starlord]

building is easy, for first time builders i just recomend a paper and pencil, a philips screwdriver and a grounding thingy =P
Anyways.. Atzenx@hotmail.com. send me an email with your budget and we can go from there.

and yea your system is shutting down because of overheating and from what u said it sounds like your processor

Grounding= Don't work on a Rug, Always touch the Power supply as that discharges anything on your hand to the battery, Have a Anti-shock wristband ( you should have it but not required as I don't use it I just always touch the battery before continuing). I learned alot from this computer I made ( and when I went to tech school there as well).

I just updated my GPU from HD 5850 to HD 7970 few days ago

I wanted to be ready for benchmark but didn't come...

Uhm, i got some 6-core CPU.
5770 GPU
6GB RAM. (should'v been 8, but 1 stick doesn't work)

I'm considering getting an SSD, and 7750ish card too don't think i'll need anything else really...

I didn't upgrade for ARR, as my old computer handled 1.0. I did, however, upgrade to this recently-

Cheapo MSI Z77
I5 3570k (can do 4.2 on air, but have no reason to so its back to stock.)
8gb DDR3 1600
HIS 2gb HD 7850 @ 1ghz. Need some new games, can't even make it break at sweat @ 1080p.
120gb SSD for OS, ARR and a few other things.
WINDOWS 7. I hate 8 so much.

Radacci- Get the SSD. It'll be the best upgrade you have ever made to a computer.

I don't think such things is overly necessary now-days. When i was more noobish, i had the Mobo attached right on the chassi...for 2 years...which i later learnt wasn't recommended ;D (when a friend helped me upgrade comp, and noted my mobo wasn't mounted on plugs)
Anyways, nothing happened in those 2 years!

Yes, so i heard ^^
A friend got it, and his comp booted in like a few seconds. before i finished sending a MSN message, while he restart comp haha.

Bought a new system for the first time when they announced 1.0, still got that which runs fine, just improved my graphics card

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (64 Bit)
CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 @2800 MHz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 7850 2GB (Sapphire) / Upgrade from ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB (Sapphire)
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 620GB

Wife has her new computer too, she has my old GPU but is running Windows 8... Can't think of words to describe my hatred for it, took me half an hour to find the control panel to change her resolution because they removed the damn start button, and we all know;

[MyKotoShi]

I upgraded the specs of my ***** in preparation for Miqo'te Online!

Thinking of upgrading my video card just don't really know what to get. I have a 450 if anyone know a good upgrade for around 150$ let me know i don't mind going ATI if it's good switch from my 450.

I only go with ATI cards as a preference, not really tried anything else... My 7850 cost me £150 which according to Google is $230 ^^;; I had a 5750 for 1.0 and tbh it ran it quite well, but that is still a tad on the expensive side iirc too (as somehow it cost me £30 less than my 7800 series).

Seems like the 450 > 5750 anyways should you probably wouldn't struggle anyways
