Man that's a huge upgrade, 

 

Toshiba Satellite

3400m @ 1.8Ghz

6520G iGPU

5400RPM 750GB HDD

4GB RAM

 

Current 

 

Intel 4670k OC'ed 4.4Ghz

16GB Crucial Low Voltage OC 2400mhz

GTX 760(SLI) (SOLD)

GTX 760(SLI) (SOLD)

Samsung Evo 128Gb SSD

WD Cav Black 1Tb

WD 650Gb

Z87 Fatality Motherboard 

Creative 3D Four-core sound processor 

1x1080P 144hz ASUS Monitor 

Coolermaster Quickfire TK Keyboard 

Genius GIla Mouse

Fractal XL R2

+ 2x 2.5inch 500GB hard drives I got from some broken laptop to use at Network sharing disks. 

[SimpleG]

A6-6400K

8GB Crucial RAM

MSI FM-A55M-E33

Windforce 270 oc'd to something

Toshiba 500gb HDD and Kingston 120GB SSD

Something 600W powersupply

[TheKDub]

First build & Current build:

 

I5 4690K

MSI Z97-G55 SLI

8GB Kingston Fury Black

(Soon) EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX
Some hard drives I had laying around totaling to 1.7TB

Corsair 230t

Corsair cx600m

 

The i5 does surprisingly well in gaming without a dedicated GPU, I'm able to run pretty much all my games just fine at 1680 x 1050 (Horrible resolution) at around low-medium settings for more demanding games, and medium-high for less demanding games at constant 40+ FPS.

My first PC i built was 10 years ago.. i didnt know much about computers back then but i knew one thing "If it Fits It will work"..

CPU: I have No idea what CPU it had.. Only thing i know is that it was a Intel Pentium at 2.4 Ghz
RAM: 2 gb (SomeMhz)
GPU: ATI X800 (Man i was proud of it..)
OS: WinXP

I had 2 of those "fat" monitors.
Man, My friends were jealous..(Or atleast the 3 "half-friends" i had at the time)

I was 7 years old at the time, I had some help from my father with building it, But i did most of the assembly.

[RWT98]

I think this one was my first too! The gpu didn't have a heatsink as i remember! I still got all the parts!

same here mine still runs 

[NoctHorn]

Oh boy, the first computer I used, the first one I used exclusively, and the first one I consider mine are 3 different computers.

 

This one I am using right now, the one that I built, is the first one I really consider my own.

[Akolyte]

Pretty sure it was this one http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-Compaq-Presario-CQ56-Notebook.42285.0.html

 

Got it for over $900, today, I can see it was a ripoff.  2GB of RAM, 1 core, 220GB HDD.  It worked for like 5 years but boy it was slow.   I got it back in 2011. 

[TheKDub]

IBM ThinkPad T42, that thing was great for the $150 I paid for it, at least until a milk spill killed it...

[vt3c]

Custom built AMD K6-III Machine

500mhz
64mb RAM

Voodoo4 

Win98 SE

Was later replaced in 2003 with a custom built Pentium III 1.0ghz machine with an ATI All-in-wonder 9000 which we ACTUALLY DID USE for TV

[handymanshandle]

First computer I used?
Was either some Dell from like 2004 or some iMac G3

First computer I owned...
Acer Aspire (5517-1643?) (but it came with Windows Vista then got upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate worst thing to have ever been done to that thing...)

[Easy To Pronounce Name]

I forget what it was but it had 256 WHOLE MEGS of ram and it ran EA Sports 06 collection like a CHAMP.

[BurgerBum]

cant be certian.

first computer i ever ''owned'' was a desktop i.... kinda.... stole... from the library....

i valunteared. they were gonna close things down and i stuffed it in my backpack. ahh.... small towns. <3

 

after that i decides ''hey, i can be smart and figure how it works'' took it out of its case and kept getting better parts.

technically, i still have it.  just... kinda the ship, replace every single board is it the same ship......

its sitting next to me on the floor being a sotrage container. inside i have like 20 1tb HDDs all pretty much full. with what you ask?

music. i can garuntee you all mp3 fies no duplicates.

anyway its got a core 2 duo and i think like a gig of ram....

 

I REFUSE TO MAKE A MEDIA SERVER OR NAS I MUST SIMPLY STACK THE HDDS ONTOP WITH DUCT TAPE

 

 

anyway, my current pc is a hp envy m6, some apu i ferget. its good for what i throw at it. (considering i dont throw anything i need to at it. )

[wnxdemonik]

Well to clarify that i'm not counting old Atari's/Commodore 64's etc, but my first actual pc was a pentium 386 then a 486, I was a big Warcraft 1 & 2 fan needed the 486 for Warcraft II i think lol.

I am not sure of the brand of computer that my grandparents had when I was four, but it was basically mine and i count it as my first computer. I am only able to recall that it was off white (which tells you nothing) and ran Windows 95 (and of course i remember the games).

[LemonSpice]

Mine first one that was completly mine was a dell laptop i forget the model number but it was from 2005 and it was the one that had a history of exploding in confrences

hmm...a latitude maybe? 

[sof006]

I can't remember but it was white and had a athlon 64 inside it. That was the first one I ever owned.

 

The first computer I was to ever use however ran Windows 98 and had a pentium 3 in it, I think? My mind doesn't stretch that far back i'm sorry if the specs don't match the OS or whatever, all I can say is that it was very old and I used it for Word and Paint lol.

 

 

EDIT: Or it was Windows 95, again can't remember very well.

Something along the lines of this. I know it was Dell, it was from the late 90s, and it was a blast. Ran Pajama Sam, Spy Fox, and Lego Island 1 like it was nobodies business.
