So what's everyone running anyways?

Curious as to what specs everyone is running. I, myself, am running a decent rig for gaming. Far from high end but it plays everything I want to play pretty damn well.

Gigabyte 970-d3p
FX 6300 OC’d to 4.2
Hyper 212 Evo
16 GB DDR3 Patriot Ram @ 1600 Mhz
Raidmax 850AE PSU
EVGA GTX 970 SC
Patriot Blaze 60 GB (OS ONLY)
Corsair Neutron SSD 256 GB
Seagate 2 TB 7200 RPM HDD
Windows 10 64x Pro
All sitting pretty in a Corsair Air 540

Also I’m using a JTD mouse and a TSSports Challenger Keyboard because my Lobitech g105 started squeeking at me

My laptop is an old Toshiba Satellite s855d I use for my classes and I have an old ass Windows 98 laptop that has a whopping 46 MB ram and 2 MB Vram that got given to me by my old lady’s grandpa. (It’s kinda cool, how old it is.) Oh yeah and my Raspberry Pi 3 is fun to mess around with as well.
