I mean the first family computer we had was some dell optiplex with an old intel pentium processor and like 2 gigs of ram... Could run minecraft at a stable 1 frame per second, although it often felt much slower cause I think 1 fps is the lowest the in game counter went lol. My first pc build though was far better, built it sometime in like 2015 which had an intel i3-4370 and an AMD HD 7950 boost (bought used), it was all enough at the time to chew through just about every game I had in my library, it was interesting kind of seeing how it aged though, the problem later kinda being the CPU bottleneck as opposed to the GPU. Now today I'm rocking my newer build with a Ryzen 5 3600x and an Rx 580 8GB card with 16 GB of ram which handles everything perfectly for my 1440p onitor

My first console was a Binatone 'pong' clone.  It was Black and Orange.

 

First 8-bit Micro was a Commador 16

 

First PC compatible was the family's Vanilla PC which had an 80386@33MHz, 4MB of RAM and a 20MB HDD Running DOS 6 and Windows 3.1.  I did put the time in one night to install a copy of Windows95 from about 15 3.5" floppies.  But it was very unstable for some reason so reverted back to DOS.  It became mine when my family upgraded to a cyrix 6x86 clocked at 133MHz with 16MB RAM and i can't remember the HDD size.  Wish i still had the 386 to be honest.  It had a Sound Blaster 2.0 in it and i was the only one on my street to have a Sound Card at the time

 With all the Trolls, Try Hards, Noobs and Weirdos around here you'd think i'd find SOMEWHERE to fit in!
