    Instead of posting our whole rig, why not just showoff one of the most important part for gamers, the graphics card? That's right, show us which graphics card you have, whether it's ATI, nVIDIA, Intel (I hope not), or some crappy off brand.

    As for me, I have this one:
    EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB DDR3 128bit DVI/HDMI/VGA Low Profile Graphics Card

    It's pretty nice, runs well on my old Dell desktop I bought for $50 on eBay and runs most modern games well. Here's a benchmark, if you were wondering. It scored around 1100 when I first got it, now it scores less than that. :(

    So I'm not the only one with a low grade card. I "salvaged" a Geforce 640 from my parants computer since they are not using it for any kind of video game stuff anyway. Works good enough on my old Dell computer too. The Geforce cards are good with the power usage so putting them on an old computer with a stock power supply works well.

    I did some research and I should be okay without needing to upgrade. Well it seems good after several months now. Plays all my games on low resolution. I don't mind, the AA settings makes up for it making things look crisp and clean. Next computer I'll focus on a nice processor since my 2GB ram Duel Core just doesn't cut it.

    If going by Nvidia's number scheme is any indicator, my card should be similer to yours @Fanatical01. Yeah It works good enough if your conservative about game settings.

    GeForce GTX 650 2GB
    I wanted to get something that could play most current games well at the time and it does that well still.

    ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB. It came with in complete DIY computer bundle and for the price, it was money well spent. Got an 8-core AMD processor in that bundle too.

    I also use the GeForce Experience to optimize game settings and Skyrim never looked better. Dragon Age: Inquisition's optimal settings are low though, but it's the only one out of all the games it supports (and that I have installed) that has a low setting for, so it's a pretty good one for what I need.

    An old laptop of mine has a GeForce 8700M GT. WoW used to run flawlessly on it without any problems. MoP messed all that up, then WoD made it even worse.

    I'm running an AMD Radeon HD 6670. Not the best card in the world, but it gets the job done.

    I've got a Geforce GTX 970 sitting in my gaming rig, even with the dual screens running i havn't seen it go past 30% usage, was killing the rig before I upgraded the motherboard and CPU to match it.
