PC History

Not sure if a similar thread exists.
Basically I would like this thread to be on the history of your PC's. So what was your first PC up to your current PC aswell as any future PC's.

My first PC was given to me and was a heap of junk (way out of date and old). I was a noob at the time so the only thing I know about it is that it was an AMD.

My next PC I got my friend to pick and build for me, as I was still a noob at the time, was an absolute beast. Did just about everything I wanted it to.
Case: Antec nine hundred
CPU: Intel Q6600
Mobo: EVGA nf780i sli
RAM: Kingston 4GB 800mhz DDR2
GPU: Galaxy 512MB 8800GT
HDD: Seagate 500GB
PSU: Corsair HX-620
Peripherals:
Logitech G5 mouse
Logitech G15 Keyboard
Still use that keyboard and mouse to this day.

My next and current PC was kinda of a mix match PC that I did by myself, I was still a noob at the time.
Case: Antec DF-30
CPU: Intel i5-760

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3R rev. 2.0

RAM: Corsair 8GB 2000mhz DDR3
GPU: Gigabyte 1gb HD5770
HDD: Samsung 1tb
PSU: Corsair HX-650
From this we see that I got way over the top RAM and got a crap GPU.

I then upgraded this PC. Getting a CPU cooler and SSD. I was no longer a noob at this point in time..

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Samsung 128GB 830

The cooler allowed me to overclock the CPU and the SSD gave me awesome boot times.

I than decided that this piece of junk HD5770 just wasn't cutting. So I went for a small upgrade and slammed a GTX 680 in there .

EVGA GTX 680 SC Signature 2

This would have to be the best thing I'd ever done. To tell you the truth, this bad boy actually converted me from my sinful console ways. Still use a controller for some games. But PC just obliterates console in Graphics and load times. I watch my brother play skyrim on xbox 360 and I want to cry.

The next thing I did was install a custom RGB led kit that I got off EBAY. All I have to say is that it makes me love my PC even more. I'll probably put LED's, of some kind, in to all of my future builds. They are great for showing off the internals.

I'm hoping this system lasts until Broadwell comes out. I'm planning on doing a water cooled system, so I'm saving my money. Should have plenty by the time Broadwell comes out.

And that is my PC history so far.
