I'm curious of what your first PC build was and the parts you used, I am 17 years old and I only built my first PC two years ago, but I've been PC Gaming since I was like 7, playing Half-Life, DOOM, Flight Simulator etc. So just post your first build if you feel so inclined

 

My first build, built in late 2012.

 

CPU: Intel i5 3450

Motherboard: P8H77-M

RAM: 4GB XMS3 @1333mhz

Chassis: Coolermaster Elite 430, which has been 'upgraded' since to a Fractal Design Define R4

GPU: GTX 650, I stupidly fried this card March 2013 but it was a good performer, my current GPU is a 7870

PSU: Corsair CX750

Storage: 500GB Seagate Barracuda, pretty bad drive, it's slow and very noisy, I have since added a couple of 60gb hard drives for more storage and an 128GB Sandisk Ultra Plus SSD as my Boot Drive

OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit

 

That's cute.

 

My first one was a teardown and rebuild of a HP Pavilion 8250.

 

Pentium II 300mhz

48MB RAM

20GB Hard Drive

I think I recycled my Voodoo 3 2000 until I got a random nvidia card shortly after. 

 

Second build was a Duron 1100. That machine was a monster.

 

 

All time favorite processor was an Athlon XP 2400+, back when AMD made Intel it's bitch. 

[Owade73]

AsRock 990fx Extreme 3

OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit

I built my first machine back in 2004....If I recall correctly the parts were:

 

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz (I THINK it was this one http://ark.intel.com/products/27447/Intel-Pentium-4-Processor-2_80-GHz-512K-Cache-533-MHz-FSB)

Motherboard: Intel D915GEV (Later replaced by an ASUS motherboard)

RAM: 1GB (2x 512MB...this was a big deal at the time)

Chassis: A cheapo $40 case at the time from Fry's

GPU: Integrated (yay)

PSU: Antec 350 watt

Storage: 200GB Western Digital SATA Hard drive

Memorex DVD Burner

OS: Windows XP

 

Oh yeah, I built this thing when I was 12 and didn't have any internet of my own at the time. I did tons of research at the library, school, and from computer repair manuals, and didn't have any outside intervention especially since my parents have zero experience with computer hardware. It was quite the project, in fact, I entered it into my school's science fair where our objective was to build something creative. I won by a landslide.  

 

Since then my passion for tech has only grown.

[Technous285]

Gawd, the first system I built was like a late-Pentium or early-Pentium 2 with Win95 back in '96 when I was 8. I can't remember exactly as it's been nearly 20 years since then.

[Syraz]

Some 486 pc is all I remember from back then

[FranBunnyFFXII]

I was a little kid when I built my first PC, this was back when 100mhz was pretty good. Pentium processor.
The case had an actual working Turbo button.

[Thony]

Myr 1st build which im using now is in my signature
Playing Watch Dogs, LoL, WoT and CS:GO, impatiently waiting for GTA V.

[pizzadave2]

I think it was like an A64 3500+, 2 gigs of RAM and a 6800GT. I don't remember the rest of the specs though. It was a beast at the time. That was the first PC I ever built from scratch. I remember throwing in a Voodoo2 or Voodoo4 in an old Compaq to play Soldier of Fortune. That game was the shit.

[GrandBandit]

My first build was decent, just far too budget and I cut too many corners.

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

GPU: Asus Radeon R9 270 2GB DirectCU II Video Card

CASE: Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: Some cheap 400w I got at best buy way back when, wasn't modular or 80+...wtf.

[Grrizz]

First self build;

PIII 566MHz (while I waited for my 666MHz to arrive )

Geforce 2 pro

128MB RAM (I think?)

40GB Maxtor HDD (I think? could have been 10-20GB even)

Everything else was beige and generic

[Sousuke]

My First proper PC Build back in December 2010.

 

Intel i5 760 2.8GHz Socket 1156 8MB L3 Cache
Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz/PC3-12800 XMS3 i5 Memory Kit CL9(9-9-9-24) 1.65V

LiteOn DVD-RW SATA Drive

PALIT GTS 450 1024MB GDDR5 DVI VGA HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card
Be Quiet 530W Pure Power PSU
Antec 300 Three Hundred Case

Tinkered with plenty of machines in the past upgrading them re-building them but this was the first I built 100% from new.

[LapX]

This beauty.

[AvoK95]

Pentium D 2.8GHz 

Generic 512MB DDR2 533MHz RAM

8GB+40GB Enhanced IDE HDD

Intel D102GGC2

Nvidia 7300GT 

Generic PSU

Generic Case

CDRW

 

Upgraded it to:

2GB RAM 667MHz

250GB SATA HDD

DVDRW

GPU died

 

Then built:

i3 540

DH55HC

6GB RAM

GTX560Ti

InWin Commander 750W 

Thermalmaster case 

1TB HDD

 

Then built my current rig in sig.

[juretrn]

That's cute.

My first one was a teardown and rebuild of a HP Pavilion 8250.

Pentium II 300mhz

48MB RAM

20GB Hard Drive

I think I recycled my Voodoo 3 2000 until I got a random nvidia card shortly after.

Second build was a Duron 1100. That machine was a monster.

All time favorite processor was an Athlon XP 2400+, back when AMD made Intel it's bitch.

Had an Athlon 64, those were amazing. A 2 GHz one simply demolished 3 GHz pentium 4s. Hard to imagine these days. after buying ATI, it kind of went downhill for them. Such a shame.
