Just wondering, what hardware do you guys run ftb on? Custom-built powerhouse? Grandpas calculator? Let me know :D
i custom built mine this summer:

Gigabyte z97 Motherboard
Intel 4690k @ 4.2ghz cpu
8gb Kingston HyperX ram
Sapphire R9 380 Gpu
WD 1TB HDD
Corsair CX750 power supply

Yeah I plan on getting a 250gb Samsung 850 m.2 ssd soon o: I think my i5 proves its worth on other games though. Skyrim and FO4 come to mind, which are stupidly reliant on the cpu, and are multithreaded.

MSI Z97 PC-Mate
I7-4790k @ 4.4Ghz
16gb 1866 ddr3r ram
NVidia 750ti
1TB HDD 7200RPM
Rosewill HIVE 750s semi-modular PSU
Cooler Master 212 Hyper EVO

I know the difference between the 750ti and 4790k and a bit ridiculous, but I decided to just go all out on one part at a time.

You saying that Skyrim is heavily CPU reliant makes realize how bad my GPU is bottle necking me, upgrading to the 4790k from an A8-3870k gave no performance increase at all.

Nice build :D but yeah gpu upgrade sounds like a good idea. Still, Skyrim and FO4 give me fps drops that bug the s*** out of me. But honestly, as much as I love the games, their horribly coded game engine holds them back. On another note, my gpu gets me like 105 fps avg in direwolf

Cool. Custom build?

I only picked the components and have it get build for me. I don't have a good place where I could build it, nor do I have spare components which I could use to check what went wrong if something broke. Having it get build for me also wasn't that much more expensive.

Yeah custom building is great, first build is the most stressful, took me hours of sweating buckets to build first pc, second one though with a lot more bits to setup only took about an hour.

Haha well I spent a long time anticipating my build till I had some money so I learned everything I needed to know before I even bought any parts, so when I had some cash I bought the case and mobo, then the cpu and then the ram, hdd, and psu and then my gpu and overall I was pretty confident about the build. After I was done installing the cpu I had everything I needed to boot it up, and it booted on the third try, after I remembered to plug the thing into the wall and then after I remembered to flip the PSU switch B)

Not very good with specs and shiz, but I have a Lenovo Y50 15.6" laptop that I recently got for Christmas.

Intel Core i7-4720HQ processor
16GB memory
1TB of storage (idek what i'll use that terrabyte for tbh)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
it was around $900, but its on sale now for around $870.

and... yeah. all of that came with the laptop - the y50 runs pretty well for a laptop, I get around 100 to 150 fps on DW20. I know it's not the best, but i don't play a lot of other games except for minecraft and fallout 4 (and fallout 4 runs okay at high graphics).

i probably could have built a pc that ran better and cheaper, but i go around a lot so i bring my laptop with me to game.

Might as well post mine

Intel i5-4590 3.3Ghz quad-core
AMD 380 4gb clocked at 985 mhz (haven't gotten around to overclocking it)
8gb ddr3-1333mhz
1TB harddrive
Windows 7 (also haven't gotten around to setting up dualboot with ubuntu)

And with the case, motherboard, psu, and monitor all of this cost....more than I like to think about
