    Well, the title says it all really.

    What's your current rig?

    Home-built or store-purchased?

    How well does it handle MWO?

    For me it's:

    Home built

    MB: Asus P8Z77-I DELUXE mITX
    CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K 3,5Ghz
    GPU: GTX 660 MSI TwinFrozr
    SSD: Corsair Neutron 256GB
    RAM: Corsair 16GB (2x8192MB) CL10 1600Mhz
    PSU: Corsair CX500W
    CPU Cooling: Corsair H60
    Chassi: BitFenix Prodigy White

    I play with a 1920x1200 screen and MWO feels amazing. Never have any stuttering etc, It also handles most games on quite high settings. The videocard is the weak link in the rig, but it's also where I saved cash, the rest of the rig is good for quite a lot of years so I plan to just upgrade the video-card sometime during the next generation. (or just save up for a titan ;p)

    The reason I have a i7/16GB of RAM is because I do quite a bit of video-editing. Sadly very few games are coded to handle more than quad-core.

    Mine is quite shitty, except for the graphics card:

    MB: Some old Asus P55 board
    CPU: i5 750 (quad core) 2.4Ghz
    GPU: ATI 7870
    SSD: Samsung 830 256GB
    RAM: 8 GB
    PSU: Corsair 650W


    Handles MWO quite good at 1920x1080. Can run it at playable FPS (40+) at maximum settings, but have dropped some settings a bit since they're cpu dependant and can give some FPS drops at times. At my custom settings I'm stable at about 60-70 FPS, with occasional drops to about 40. I've even tried running it in 3D mode (got a 120hz screen and active glasses that I rarely use :) ), and it could handle MWO with very playable FPS even then.
    Crashes are very rare, maybe once a week when playing MWO. Did about 80-100 games last weekend (assault vs world) and I experienced just one crash.

    Need to upgrade cpu/mb soon, Arma 3 just won't run well on my old cpu.

    Yeah, I've been going in to streaming lately. I'm managing 720p streaming with ok quality/low stuttering. I'm using Open Broadcast Software and It's going ok with my current rig.

    Val: How hard is it to do your own watercooling solution? The H60 is OK but I think I'm going to crank my CPU a bit higher and I'm not sure it can handle it all that well, tbh I'm not running it in push/pull yet though, only got the pull fan installed.
