Here's mine:

OS: Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
GFX: Nvidia GeForce GTX 580
Screen: Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 (1920x1080 @ 60Hz)
RAM: 6 Gig
Hard Drive: 2 Terabytes

Don't know what else is needed for a good rating, so that's it.

It would be nice if you could tell us the CPU. I would rate it 8.8/10 if you have a second gen i5 with a 80+ efficient 650W+ power supply.

I give it a 9.0/10.0 - That machine would fly (even faster ) if ya used an SSD for your main OS HDD.

My second build, I was hoping its decent but sometimes Im not sure I made the right choices.
A pink NZXT Phantom??? That's one choice that's nothing BUT wrong. I've seen some tacky computer cases but that monstrosity takes the game pro. There isn't a shred of pale or understated about that shade of pink either; looks like a 2-foot tall bottle of Pepto Bismol.

You have some good hardware in there but I have to imagine the performance is suffering on account of embarassment...

Nice... regarding the SSD choice that is fine (laptop want to keep it light :P) but otherwise...

I was thinking about getting a ssd myself but I read that the life span of a SSD is worse then that of regular HDD... plus I get much more space...

The way I see it [hdd]: more space, lower price and longer life span? YES!

New consumer SSDs have pretty good longevity, but need care and feeding -- you want to make sure that TRIM is working. In a laptop, they're great; you're not likely to be doing the kind of intensive I/O that wears FLASH memory on your laptop, and the low power consumption and light weight are big benefits.

I load faster, so what. I'm a gamer, I don't care if I load in 5 seconds instead of 10. my 15000 rpm is dealing with it just fine.

The case may be "out dated" but I bought it brand spankin new last week, the air flow is GREAT. I have an extra 200mm fan on top, and on the side. The wire management is also flawless.
