Ultimate Windows 7 Gaming PC – Retro High-End Build

I present to you my Ultimate Windows 7 build – created out of pure love for retro PC gaming. Last year, I sourced each part individually, which wasn’t easy since this hardware has become rare and collectible. Back in 2010–2011, a system like this would easily cost £2,500–£3,000, and it truly represents the high-end enthusiast gaming rigs of its era. The PC runs Windows 7 Ultimate (licensed) and is fully stable. Nothing has been overclocked, but the system offers plenty of headroom if you wish to push the performance further. It supports both SLI and Crossfire, allowing you to connect up to 3 graphics cards for the ultimate retro setup. 💡 I can include an SLI bridge for free, and I also have a classic Logitech keyboard available separately if you’d like to complete the authentic Windows 7 gaming experience. ⚠️ Note: This build is sold without a power supply, as I used my test PSU during setup. A good quality 600W PSU (around £60) will be more than enough for this beast. 🔹 Specifications Motherboard: Asus P6X58D Premium CPU: Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition (with original CPU cooler) GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 (1.5GB GDDR5 VRAM) RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz – 24GB (6×4GB) SSD: Intel 160GB Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 This build has been a passion project of mine, but with my family expanding, I no longer have the time to enjoy it, and the extra cash will be useful. A perfect setup for collectors, retro enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to relive the golden days of PC gaming with the most powerful Windows 7 hardware of its time. 📩 Feel free to ask any questions!
