I pretty much have whatever I want since I have worked in some form of the computer field for about 15 years or so... Right now I am running dual xeon hex with 120 samsung ssd and 16g ram with 1000w ps but my main box is a dual quad with a better graphics card for games... If it has released in the last 5 ish years I probably have it or have previously had it... Usually I settle on a couple years prior stuff because there is always solid driver base etc... one thing I never go without though is a bottle of Jim Beam.
