Hey I was just curious as to the specs of everyone's PC. I've read that some people had stuttering and other thing prior to the patch and I never encountered anything like that. So that brought about this question really. I have:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
Zotac GTX 460 1GB
8GB DDR2 800 RAM
2TB HDD
Biostar 790GX 128M Motherboard
650W PSU
Windows 7 x64
and if anyone was curious I got all that for less than $700
guess I should also mention that I'm hooked via HDMI into my TV for the monitor, it's running 1080P

Runs very smoothly with some minor stuttering here and there, nothing serious:
Athlon II X3 435 (Unlocked to Phenom II X4 B35 and OCed @ 3.48GHz)
ASUS M4A77D
XFX HD 6850 1gb
6gb Crucial DDR2-800
320gb HDD
Corsair TX750
LG W2353V-PF (1920x1080 resolution)
Windows 7 Pro 64bits
All my games runs smoothly and well above playable framerates, for me that is (minimum of 30 FPS is enough to enjoy gaming)
Gaming machine : Win7 Pro 64-bit | Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.7GHz | Sapphire HD 6950 @ 1536SPs | X-Fi Titanium HD | 6gb DDR2-800 | LG 23" LCD 1080p

 My housemates are absolutely the same - one of them i never seen to play games, the other is too casual and prefers racers but both going to nag how noisy I'm when playing some cool games with increased volume

I only have stuttering probs on the cutscenes. Otherwise I pretty much run on med-high
p4 2.4 ghz
1.5 meg ram
750 meg hd (pata)
hd 4670 1 gig (agp)
the system on the whole is about 7 years old, just replaced hd, got the xtra memory when oblivion came out, got the vid card (best agp I could find) just this past year. All in all I think it doesn't do too bad, but I'll definately have to get a new one in the near future, if I can save enough for it. (I'm on a fixed income)

GTX 480
Q9550
4GB 1033 DDR2 RAM
Windows 7 64bit Pro
1TB WD Caviar Black HDD
I run Divinity 2 with Flames of Vengeance installed on max settings other than sunrays turned off at 1920x1200 resolution. I force 4xMSAA on the game through my GPU control panel using the STALKER profile.
I get a solid 30fps with the framerate capped. Without the cap I get between 40-50, depending, but I get some stutter with the cap off, so I play with it on.

Completely smooth for me at 1680*1050 on all max detail - unlike Metro 2033 which I can barely run in low detail:
Core I7 920 2.66GHz LGA1366
6GB * 1333MHz DDR3 (3*2GB)
NVidia GTX 295 (2*SLI)
NVidia 9800GTX (old card used for dedicated PhysX acceleration and secondary monitors)
Samsung 2233RZ 3D monitor + NVidia 3D Vision kit
Win 7 64 bit (Ultimate)
4*1TB 7200RPM disks (RAID 0 for system partition).
1,200W PSU, Thermaltake full-tower case (6 fan air-cooled)
It's no match for Knight Flyer's system, but it does the job (apart from Metro 2033), and cost me under $1,500 USD back in January - not counting the parts I scavenged from my old machine. I can also overclock it by up to 30% for a few hours at a time without heat issues.
I'm considering getting a couple of 480s to replace the 295, but it seems a lot to spend for a 50% speed increase. More video ram would be nice though, the 295 only has about 850MB per GPU.

I type this post from my laptop - the PC is cut apart with chainsaw, cooked and spiced - at the moment i munch the GPU fan i think with some pieces of the second ram module ... and for that it's all your fault guys  - both Knight Flyer and Trippy ! The joke aside really good configuration Trippy - hope its not too noisy with about ... 5 + 6 fans(if i got it right the case has 6 own fans )and 4 HDDs

Aah, Metro 2033 ! I've got the game but haven't played it on my current system yet (its in bits again while I'm making a bracket to mount a couple of 80mm fans to hoyck some cool air into the 5970's intakes), but I played it on my previous rig and had no problems at max settings at 1920x1080(Q9650, ATI 5870, 8gb ddr3). One game that has given me grief is James Camerans Avatar, beautiful graphics, poor gameplay and clunky controls had me swearing and then in dx10 it was ctd every ten mins, switched to dx9 and played right through without a single crash. (I wont be playing it again so if anyone in the UK wants it, say so here and pm me your address and I'll slap it in the post, I'd rather give em away than have it sat gathering dust). Theres sposed to be a sequel to Metro 2033 coming out shortly, looking forward to it.

I built my system about two years ago and other than the video card fans spinning up whenever I'm looking at flames, the game runs just fine.
EVGA x58 motherboard
Intel Core i7 965
2x Nvidia GTX285 SLI
6GB of 1600DDR3
Asus Xonar DX sound card
WD Caviar Black 1TB hard drive
Blue-ray drives (R and R/W)
Monsoon CPU cooler
Silverstone Fortress tower case
Corsair 1K power supply
Samsung 24" 1920x1200 display (a dying breed *sniff*)
Windows Vista64
Hoping to move to Windows 7 64-bit and perhaps a couple of GTX 580s in early 2011.
Built to play Crysis at ultra settings. Turns out it eats just about everything else for breakfast too, even two years later. And yeah, it was expensive at the time since it was all new tech.

@Samail - Yes, 6 fans on the case, 10 fans in total (1*CPU, 3*GPU). Fortunately it only gets hot and noisy when I'm gaming, and then I either have headphones on or the speakers turned up  @Knight Flyer - I've heard Metro 2033 was better on ATI than NVidia anyway, and I suspect my biggest problem is the memory (850MB Video ram per GPU instead of the usual 1GB). It's ok on low detail in mono vision, although it's only 30FPS and gets choppy at times. Definitely can't do stereo vision, which is annoying - I bought the game mainly for it's 3DVision certification. @Endurium - very nice NVidia rig - I'm envious. Although I can do Crysis at ultra no problems as well.

Thanks Trippy. After roughly 15 years of putting up with substandard hardware and having to play games at medium settings, I made it a point to save my pennies and build with high-end parts, and I haven't regretted it.
By the way, the Xonar sound card has worked with every game I've played, though sometimes options, such as EAX, are disabled in older software. Regardless the sound is, subjectively speaking, typically clearer and better defined than was the case with my old SB X-Fi gamer. Love cranking up blu-ray movies on it.
