What kind of computer does the average CP'er use?
I'm curious. Did you build it yourself or did you buy it off the shelf?

If you built it yourself... why did you chose the components you did?

If you bought it off the shelf... why did you chose the unit you did? Was it a budget buy for a tool you need or did you shell out for a boutique build?

Do you know the specs of your computer (what CPU or video card (if any) you are using?

___

I built mine in 2013. It is an Intel Core i7 4770k on a Z97 motherboard. Running a Power Color Vega 56 (Power Color Red Dragon) and 32GB of memory. 500GB M.2 for my boot drive and just a 1TB drive for personal storage (which really has nothing but photos of my foster pups.

When I built it... I had a cutting edge machine and I built it to be future proof. I originally had a 7790 video card in there but have upgraded a handful of times over the years to the Vega 56 I run now.

I still use it more for gaming than anything else and it still handles its own. I can play games like Apex Legends at an average of 97 FPS on "medium". That said... its nearing the end of it's run as the heavy game machine in the house.

Still running the last one I built for myself about 8 years ago... i5-4590 with an AMD RX 570 4gb/256-bit and 16 gb ram. Still plenty fine in most games but it's definitely time for an upgrade. Built plenty of others in the interim for everyone else but just haven't treated myself. Waiting on AMD to catch up with the console demand so their prices drop back down to normal before I do another.

I've tried that, but I can't get my garage sealed well enough to make the semiconductors.

Yeah you're kinda out there in the ether, somewhat in between generations

I kinda get it... but nothing pleases me more than having an actual CD of my favorite album, it ALWAYS sounds better on my early 2000s stereo with real wood built speakers than any kind of computer stuff IMO
