Intel i5-4650K 3.8GHz
16 GB RAM
nVidia GTX-680 2 GB
1x240GB SSD
2x500GB SSD
1x1.8TB HDD
1x22" Benq screen (60Hz)
1x24" Benq screen (120Hz)
Keyboard: Leopold FC-980
Mouse: Steelseries something or other

Most of the HW is from 2013. I've added disk space and I originally had identical 22" screens but wanted a 120Hz screen for gaming. This runs perfectly on Linux including gaming, so I've no reason to switch anything out just yet. I value performance-per-dollar and stability first and performance second. I've never overclocked anything in my life.

In order of importance:

  1. Keyboard - my primary way of interacting with the computer.

  2. Monitors - following the first, if I can't see what I type it's mostly pointless isn't it?

  3. Everything else - as long as it works and runs fast enough I'm not bothered.
