Post your specs, show off, ask for advice, admire other people's beasts of computers, laugh at their puny toasters they call computers, etc.
Here is mine, it's not the greatest, but I'm not sure what I should focus on upgrading next. Thoughts?

I'd wait a little bit and start over. I could be wrong, but I don't think you will get much of a performance boost without getting a new processor. It'd just bottleneck.

Why the fuck do you have 16 gigs of Ram, waff? Do you work for pixar?

Why do you only have 6 gb? LOLNOOBZ.

Cause you only need 4, even for demanding games.

Processor is stock 3.2ghz quad, OC'd to 4ghz. Could go higher, but seems unnecessary.
460 is OC'd a bit, but it can't go very high past stock without artifacts cropping up, even though its heat is pretty reasonable.
Hard drive really needs to be upgraded.
Currently trying to find a way to get more FPS out of it. Can run WoW just fine (not much of an accomplishment), but the system drops to 20-30 FPS in dungeons in RIFT, which just sucks.
Opinions I've heard are:
- Get a SSD and put games on there so transfer rate isn't bottlenecking
- Upgrade to a GTX 560 Fermi Ti (gewd card)
- More memory
Thoughts from computer experts?

Oh hey obvious problem is obvious.
PATA drive.

Decided to splurge. Got the GTX card and a 1.5tb SATA HD.

Yea, that PATA drive was probably bottle necking you greatly.

I'm probably going to keep my 300gb around for just, you know, documents and crap, and move performance-dependent applications to the new drive.
Question, though, because I've never had two hard drives at once: when I get the new one, should I just move the performance-dep applications to the new HD via cut-paste? Or is the registry stuck on the old drive and I have to reinstall them?
Because Steam and WoW are pretty fuckoff huge applications and having to reinstall that crap would be a monumental pain in the ass.

I can almost guarantee you'll be stuck downloading if you do that to WoW. I've never tried that to Steam, but you SHOULD be okay.

Are you sure? I've copy-pasted WoW before without a problem

Then it's worth a shot. I've been reading a lot lately about how the WoW Patcher and the game itself has been really picky about it's files. If you alter even one small specific thing it'll send you into a 14 gig download where it "reinstalls" the game.
