Hey there Bitcointalk and anyone currently trolling through the newbies forum, I'm Stacey, and I'm relatively new to crypto-currency market. Been researching for about a month, started mining a week ago. My Pc's specs are as follows,
CPU
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.1 Ghz 1.48V under load 1.5v idle ( I hit a crazy stability wall past 3.15, no matter how much voltage i pump into it, I've kept this thing cool @3.6 Ghz and 1.6V under load, 1.65V idle just not Prime 95 or Mining stable)
Hashing at about ~25Khs on Scrypt algo
~400Khs on Quark algo

Motherboard
MSI P45 Neo2-FR (MS-7512)

Graphics
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 OC 2GB
1200Mhz Core
5Ghz Effective memory
Replaced standard compound with Arctic Ceramique
Hashing at ~90Khs

Gigabyte GeForce 9600GT 1GB ( For Mining and Physx processing when gaming, my 650 doesn't like Physx very much)
800Mhz Core
2000Mhz Shader
1800Mhz Effective Memory
Hashing at ~15Khs

RAM
G.skill 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit (1066 @ timings 5-5-5-15-42 @2.1V) Can't remember the other sub timings, but they're tight as shit.
Samsung 840 Evo 250GB ( 2GB static page file)

Cooling
Zalman CNPS12X 120mm Triple Fan CPU Cooler, also rocking Artic Ceramique (Surprisingly good thermal compound)

Cooling
2 x Xigmatek 12cm 1800rpm PWM fans w/white LED, Bottom Side and rear
2 x BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM All White 2000RPM 140mm Fans Non-LED Front Top and Bottom

Power Supply
Coolermaster RS 460W PCAR A3

Case
Coolermaster 330 Mid Tower





So far I've managed to make about 50USD (55 AUD, I'm from australia) profit(If i traded all my alt currency, with a bit of statistical analysis, to other coins, bitcoin and then cash right now) which I think isn't too shabby for this rig and a weeks worth of mining, considering that profit is inclusive of power costs.

Any suggestions on improvement are welcome, (I'm not in the position to spend any money, so just configuration suggestions), .bat files are as follows:

cudaminer -H 2 -d 0,1 -i 1,0 -l K4x16,L32x3 -o protocol://address:port -O myuser:mypass

Or even if you would just like to post your results, if any of your components are the same/similar to mine.
