My first Cpu and Gpu:

 

Intel Quad core Q6600 & Nvidia GT 8800.

 

It was the first time i built a computer in 2007/8 and i was only a young lad(15). I used the information from a build guided on a youtube channel called NCIX, this man called Linus was really helpful!

If I remember correctly, my first CPU and GPU in a gaming PC (if you can even call it that) were a Pentium 4 (Prescott 2M), and a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200. These were the minimum specifications required to play oblivion, and all my family was willing to spend on.

went from a celeron 533 to an i3-530 (gpu was hd4350), to the fx-4100 (had a hd6670 here), upgraded to the fx-8320 (went from hd7850 to r9 290) and then the 4790k (still on my r9 290)

 

pretty huge leaps from my first to second, and third to fifth. the 530 & 4100 were about equal, but the 4100 streamed a tad better.

I just noticed the changed tittle, my first gaming rig had a Celeron 300A (overclocked to 450MHz) and a Riva 128ZX.
