What was your first computer?

[WorstPcExpert]

Oh boi . I had 17 inch non-wide LCD 1200-ish to 1000-ish screen. Crisp Pentium 4 and crisp at that time GT 8600, 2gb RAM WOAH (because more ram = faster pc). 5.1 set of Creative speakers. MY PARENTS payed top currency for this rig. Thanks to them i am who i am today : a proud gamer.

[bry.yyyy]

My First Build i Spend 700 $ On 2010 

[FloRolf]

Around 1500€. Upgraded quite a bit tho since ^^

My next is probably gonna be out of this world like >4k €

If you can pump them out, 1800 bucks are perfectly rational on a good desktop. 3000 wouldn't be. The first two pcs I had were used and very old (first a pentium 3, then a p4), so I paid nothing for them. The first full blown desktop i got is the one I have now, which was worth about 1000 bucks when I got it (it didn't have an ssd and it had a gtx 550ti instead of the r9 290 back then) plus more or less 160 bucks for monitor, mouse and keyboard (altough I had those even before I got that pc).

My first personal PC was around $1000, but the one I am building now will be right about $2200

First ever computer was a DELL, a few years later I moved to an Alienware Aurora which cost just shy of 2,000 Euro! Ripped off for what I got, I upgraded the Aurora with newer parts, that cost me around 900 Euro, then I dumped that and built my own which cost me roughly 2,000 - 2,500 Euro which is my current computer. Specs are in my sig below. Building computers is the way to go, you save money and its just incredibly satisfying to do! I built my current rig about 5 months ago.

My PC, that I'm getting this summer, will cost $3100.

[lani100]

[Robi_g]

About £750ish, can't remember but my monitor was free

[mkessler9]

My first gaming pc was $700 USD and now its over $1400 and growing

[Guest]

The first PC I gamed on was $2500 back in the day when PCs cost over $2000. The first PC I bought for myself for gaming was $900 or so. These days I spend $1200-ish every 3-4 years and roughly $300-400 in between for upgrades. That's my cycle.

Cheers.

[helping]

[ObilvionNizer]

My first PC, which i guess was mainly used for gaming, was about £450 but since then i have upgraded it and my PC now is worth about £600-700

Im the exact same as Theblasphemouscoffee. 

[Rorgash]

im very happy about not remembering these things... because im sure the computers i build in the past must have been complete shit...

[activated1]

I never had a dedicated gaming PC, my computer has always been general purpose but you could say it's mostly used for gaming. My first PC was around 1400DM (in 1998.) in todays terms 700€ or about roughly 950$.

 

And it was a beast ( :lol:): Cyrix PR200, PC Chips motherboard (forgot the model), 32 megs of SDRAM 66MHz, ASUS S3 Trio 64V2 with 2 megs of v-ram, 2.1 GB Quantum Fireball, 32X CD Rom, and of course a floppy drive, all that hooked up to a sexy ( ) Samsung SyncMaster 400B 14" monitor... ahh the good old days 

[hemidreamer]

I just got myself a proper gaming PC for 500€, which was used for 2 months.

 

It has a i5 4570, Gigabyte GTX760 OC 2GB and 8GB RAM, 750W Chieftec PSU (little bit overkill) + R.A.T. 7 mouse.

 

I wanted to build one myself but I was really limited with 500€ and I couldn't get what I wanted for it so I had to find a used one.

I'm really happy with it and I think I got myself a good deal

[JoaoPRSousa]

500€, bought today

[knight_40k]

My first real Gaming PC was about $1800CAD back in 2008.

 

The parts that matter were C2D E8400, Asus Rampage Formula, Asus Radeon HD 4870 Dark Knight 1GB, 4GB DDR2 RAM and Coolermaster Extreme Power Plus 600W in an Antec 900 case.
