Hi Everyone John O' here
Its been a while since i built a new rig, so I want to give you a little history, my first ever experiment took place when i was around 16 years old when my old pc was an acer aspire with a foxconn motherboard with an LGA 775 Socket it still used IDE cables and it had two stat ports it was crazy thats what set me off, the pc began to die on me so removed the ram and exchanged it with new ram which was ddr2 at the time lol, from a pc that was identical i found in the dumpster, and i swapped the power supply and it worked, so i decided to buy my first secdond hand ATI Radeon x550 where i used to use the TV out connection to use on my old widescreen TV, so sfter then i went to an old dell cant remember the model, but i always experienced problems so i ditchrd it, i decided to make a huge leap after a few years of using various laptops and built my first intel i7 desktop with 16gb of ddr3 with a gigabyte rx480 still performs amazingly to this day even had games running on full settings 1080p, even some running on 1440p at a reasonable fps, however it's time to go to amd ryzen now for my new project which i will start on january.
what was your first rig i ask everyone and where are you heading next ??
