Prior to this build at the start of the year, I was using an i7 3770K, HD 7950 and 16 GB of DDR3 RAM. I didn't game on it anymore but it was still surprisingly 'snappy' for basic tasks. I still have it and am trying to decide what to do with it now. . . . I'll probably have a go at running Linux on it.
