As the title says really. I see there are several avid girl gamers here and wondered if any of you had self-built or bought a high end PC or prefer consoles.

I have a 6 month old max spec Alienware 17 and a 3 year old Playstation 3 slim :) The Alienware is a very fast laptop and lets me pretty much any game or piece of software that I want :) It cost a fortune though! lol

I am primarily a PC gamer, I used to build my own custom rigs. I also used to do extreme overclocking with dry ice, LN2, peltier, etc cooling... I occasionally stumble on my own ancient posts on enthusiast forums and I realize that I was smarter when I was 11 years old than now at 25 with an IT degree, I don't know how that works... I mean if you asked me to make a v-droop mod for a motherboard now I would look at you like all your screws just fell out. I actually found one just the other day on the hardforums when doing some research on memory timings (way beyond the basic CAS Latency info) and found a post from my old screen name that made my head spin. I can definitely still build a mean gaming PC though... but once you step out of the hobby and get into the "good enough" performance category you get complacent and start forgetting the finer details. But dang from about 11-17 I was a master in the then tiny overclocking community. Its one of several hobbies I wish I had the resources to sink my teeth into again, it would be a lot of fun.

But right now I am broke as a joke so I am rocking the company laptop haha! Luckily for a laptop its not too bad but it could be way better.... HP Envy 17, 17" 1080p LED, quad core 4th gen i-7 2.2Ghz, 16GB DDR3 RAM, Hybrid SSD HDD, nVidia GTX 750m (but the crappy ddr3 version not the much faster gddr5 version like in the new macbook pros). Its ok though it gets the job done for now. Last games I played on it were Heart of the Swarm, Crysis 3, and Tombraider... I am about to get the new Thief game though, stoked about that one!!

I am running a a couple computers, a homebuilt and a modified. My desktop is the homerbuilt, an i5-750 on an ASUS motherboard. It's optimized and running dual 9nvidia800gtx+ cards. The weakest point of the desktop is running old standard hard drives.

My laptop is about three generations newer, a Toshiba A7200. It's been upgraded with a bluray drive and SSD hard drive to get boot time under ten seconds.

This post if from my laptop, as I am currently at my farm.

Die Hard PC gamer here. My rig is 2 years old now but I built it myself from parts I ordered from newegg.com. She's a beast with fast HT FSB, AMD 3g, GeForce 465, 16Gigs of High performance RAM. I <3 it (& yes I know that's kinda sad).

I LOVE to play X-com, Left 4 Dead (1st one), and World of Warcraft ... though I have slowed down A LOT on the amount of time I spend gaming compared to a few years ago I still like it. I'm also interested in finding a community (guild) within WoW where I can go & be me with others like me. :)

Intel Core i5-3470 @3.20GHz

8 GB RAM

Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium

NVidia GeForce GTX 650

I play MMOGs. For the last couple years it has been GW2. Before that Rift, before that WOW for 6 years and EQ for 4 years before that. I've also dabbled in AC, DAOC, AC2, SWG, EQ2, TSW, and TESO but none of them have stuck with me so far. I've got my eye on EQ Next though. A malleable game world changes everything!

I'm love both consoles and PCs. I wish I had a powerful gaming machine, but alas I simply do not have the money or time. Right now I do schoolwork and play on the same laptop: a Toshiba Satellite with an i3 processor and built-in graphics chip. It tends to lag on modern games even on the lowest settings but I don't play a lot of games that require a lot of power so I'm perfectly happy with it.

I've also been playing my 3DS lately. I also have a PS3 but it's been getting used more for Netflix and other apps over actual gaming lately.

cpu: intel i7-4770k

mobo: asus maximimus VI gene

gpu: 780ti

psu: corsair 860i

ssd: 2tb ssd raid 0 (1tb x 2)

case: silverstone ft03-b

Only reason why I even have this is because i'm fairly certain it was hot product and I got it off of craigslist. I did check the parts and overall build for reports and nothing was reported stolen so finders keepers i guess?

amd 8350 @ 4.9

sapphire 7970 ghz. toxic ed. (6gb)

32gb ram

usually play 3 screen eyefinity for the very few times i do end up playing. the sapphire cards are nice with alot of extra memory making 3 screen gaming off a single card easy. even current games at max still run decent enough.

32gb of ram for my music software.

32gb of ram for my music software.

Is your music software for playing or creating?

I went to school for audio/video production and have used everything under the sun, from ProTools 3.2 (almost 20 yrs ago...yeesh) all the way up to the latest and greatest of Cubase, Audition, Audacity and more. I'm currently using Cubase based on ease of use, price point and functionality. My I/O is a good ol', tried and true, MOTU 2408 that has seen a LOT of wear and tear over the last 13 years. That thing is a workhorse.

God bless

both. i used to do some composition, but its been a while :( need to get back into it. some recording, and linking to my keyboard.

coworkers of mine couldnt believe how much i put into my computer. which isnt the "best" but, it does what i want it to do... mostly.

till i run out of memory and it starts slowing down cause ive maxed out all 8 cores. =.=

mmmm, when i was composing, i was using sibelius exporting as midi, importing into sonar for effects and to use ewql symphonic orchestra gold. also have garritan cello and violin solo. compliments of an old friend of mine that gifted me his extra product keys.

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
