All I'll say is that mine is a potato from 2009, and I'm fucking amazed it's lasted this long.
Also, in before anyone assumes the title was asking where the porn's hidden. :V

I am kinda pissed. My dad said he was buying a gtx 960 to replace the 760 I had that shat itself and died. He didn't. He bought a fucking 950, which is only about half as powerful as the 760 I had. Pisses me off.

My machine's a Lenovo Z70, which kinda sounds like a fighting robot but sadly it's just an absurdly large laptop.
Intel i7 @ 2.40GHz 16 GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce 840M with 2 gigs of dedicated video RAM (there's also Intel Integrated graphics but that barely counts as a graphics processor) 17.3" monitor
It was pretty hard to find a laptop that both had a graphics card and didn't look like a fucking Decepticon, but I found this one and it's been serving me pretty well for what it is.

Oh, I like that laptop. Laptops are neat.

No. Peri. No. NVIDIA logic goes so: GTX 580=GTX 670=GTX 760=GTX 950. They skipped the 800 series, but that is the general idea. It is pretty equal according to benchmarks. Don't be pissed m8. http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-950-vs-Nvidia-GTX-760/3510vs2159 If it is running slow, check if you have the PCIe power cables installed, as the 950s can run without it, but only at half speed.
Anyways, I won a GTX Titan X from a Reddit giveaway. Decided to have it sent to my good, good online friend who I wouldn't have met you guys without. He has Intel integrated after his house caught fire and took his 980ti i7 battlestation with it. It was time I repaid my Steam games he has given me, anyways.

After a long time of working out exactly what parts I need and going over it again and again, constantly changing parts and upgrading things I've finally come to what I'm fairly sure is a final parts list for my new PC, it's a fair bit above my original budget of £600-800, coming in at around £1800 but it'll be well worth it. Unfortunately I don't have an ETA on when I'll actually build it because I'm waiting for some money to come in that I'm owed and have no idea when I'll get it, but she'll be a beautiful beast once it's all done. I'll update whenever I end up getting everything together.
