I built my PC over 2 years ago but...
I got the AMD Phenom II 955(when it first came out) and OC to 3.8 GHZ
8GB Gskill DDR3 1600
Sapphire 4830 ATI card (my weakest component by far)
OCZ 120 GB SSD
about 1.5 TB of disk space on 3 other drives for random data
ASUS M4a79t Deluxe Motherboard
Antec 1k PSU
crappy cooler master 40 dollar case.

I score 7.2 as my windows "experience" score.


But since i only really play CSS, L4d, L4D2, WoW, and a few other older games on a crappy 19" monitor i can play them at full No prob even though my video sucks. When i built the tower i was given a very strict budget and I needed the 8GB of memory for a VM lab so all the money went into CPU, RAM, and Mobo.
