New Computer, woo!! Share your specs thread!

Just finished building my new gaming computer, and installing The Sims 3 from Origin, because my old DVD drive wont work in my new case (getting another tomorrow)... cant wait to play sims 3! I really hope i get a good fps now so i don't get angry with the game...

With this excitement, I thought id make a "compare your specs" thread, so we can share our specs for our computer (for us nerds out there).

I'll start:

Windows 8 Developer Preview
8GB DRR3 1333mhz RAM
1TB 7200 HDD
1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GTX560 Ti Graphics Card
Intel Core i5 Quad Core, 3.3ghz processor, 6MB L3 Cache.

What are your specs? :)

    AMD Phenom II x6 1045T Processor 2.70 GHZ
    6 GB Ram
    ATI 5450 Graphics card (it is dedicated but I don't know how to check the memory)
    919 GB Hard Drive(not that this matters much in terms of gameplay)


    Yeah, nothing special but it runs the sims 3 with all medium settings, so i'm i-ght 8).

    It could probably be put on high but i've gotten so accustomed to playing on medium.

    Not fantastic specs, but it runs the game plus all expansions and stuff packs surprisingly really well. A bit of lag here and there, but the graphics are spectacular. :D
