what was your first build

[hasan.intisar97]

I was 13 years old. I was watching LinusTechTips videos with all my spare time. I lived, breathed, and ate computer videos. I was doing all this from a netbook. One day my grandpa sees my drive and my potential and invests $500 in me and tells me to go and build a computer.

 

AMD Phenom II X2 B55 (This was unlocked to a quad core, then overclocked to 4GHz on the STOCK AIR COOLER. This chip was a monster, great for me as a beginner because it stayed so freaking cool! When I caved and bought a Corsair H50, I was able to push it to 4.3GHz stable, this was with no voltage increases period. I was afraid I would break the computer in doing so XD)

ASUS M4A87TD EVO

4GB Generic RAM

NZXT M59

ATI Radeon 5450

530 Raidmax power supply (bad idea. needed to replace)

 

 

Today I run:

 

AMD Phenom II X6 1045t (OC to 3.7)

ASUS M4A87TD EVO (same)

16GBs Corsair Vengeance 1600

Zalman Z9 (getting changed very soon)

Corsair GS700 (learned where I SHOULDN'T be cheaping out)

MSI 7770GHz (Went 5450 -> 5750 -> 7770GHz)

 

If it hadn't been for my grandfather, I would not be 16 going into the track to the field of IT now.
