Still running my old OC i5 Ivy Bridge on a P65 chipset. I wanted to buy Skylake, but investing 2k€ for no real gain was a downer. For graphics I use a NVIDIA GTX 970. It is strong enough for all current games I play and supports the latest OpenGL and Vulkan. For storage, I use a Samsung 850 Pro 512GB on my Linux and one more Samsung 850 Pro 512GB + 2x Toshiba 1TB HDDs for Windows (gaming only). I like to install my games on the SSD, then move them to the HDDs for storage, until I play them (and move them back to the SSD). As for monitors, I use 1 Apple Cinematic (23") and one 27" LG and one 25" BenQ monitor at home. For my mouse, I use a Logitech G9x for every-day stuff and a Razer Naga 2012 for gaming. As for my keyboard, I love the US International Layout. It really helps me develop faster!
You might think I do not have a lot of storage. Well, I also have a ESXi server with OmniOS+Napp-It as 2TB ZFS RAID10 NAS and a Debian Linux with a custom software (based on Node.JS) which syncs files across all my devices and manages my self-built Smart-Home hardware. Really cool stuff :)

Development happens on KDE Plasma / Gentoo Linux. I hate Win10. My "Killer Apps" would be Kate, WebStorm, CLion and Chrome Dev-Tools. At the moment, I still use Konsole and Yakuake, but I really want to switch to Black Screen. I like 7zip for archiving. Well. I think I am only missing my favorit DB: MariaDB, a drop-in replacement for MySQL server.
