| Some 1½ year old by now, I think, but was aimed at the future when I bought it.
i7 950 overclocked at 3.6GHz
12 GB DDR3
Nvidia GTX 580 1.5GB
1.750 TB HD, Seagates
120 GB SDD
Steinberg CI 2 (used to have a Emu 1212m, but it doesn't work in Windows 7....yet...)
1000W
Noctua NH-D14 Cooler as well as some others.
I used to play a bit more back in the day than I do these days, but I still find myself updating to "gaming" systems. Probably in the hope that I'll one day be playing a lot more again - it's not really like I don't have the time. The interest has just faded with time, even if I do enjoy games like Skyrim and so on.

WHY?!!? Overheating? Unstable? It's like, "I have an awesome processor, let me make it slower!"

I know this doesn't answer your question, but sometimes clock speed can be more valuable than multiple cores, depending on the software you're running.

| Nobody here is more under-equipped than me.
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce Go 6100
RAM: 1 GB
HDD: 120 GB internal, 320 GB external.
OS: Windows XP SP3
This laptop is barely enough to run COD4 on Windows 7.
Also, because of my sucky GPU, I can't even run Space Engine. SpaceEngineer, would you mind porting it to OpenGL 2.1, instead of OpenGL 3.0?

for when I play minecraft, it is horrendously slow with extra gsgl shaders if i don't over-clock and disable cores since minecraft is only a one threaded application it will only use one of my eight cores, all modern proffessional programs should be multi-threaded, since most people have more than one core nowadays

I can run it (sort of) and I'm on a dual core with half the GHz that you have.

My last laptop was nearly as bad as that. It has 250 GB internal, the same processor, and a Geforce Go 7150m. Although it did have 4 GB RAM, it was nearly useless.

Buy a new computer. Or laptop, if you like portability, like me.
You can't replace the GPU in a laptop. Even if you could the other components would still bottleneck the hell out of your system.

| No, I mean for my desktop motherboard. It's around the same power as my laptop, but if I put in a better GPU, a lot of applications might run better.
