First computer that I personally owned? Or first computer that my family owned that I used

 

First computer I owned personally was a 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch. It came with a sandy bridge core i5 clocked at I think 2.3Ghz.

Upgraded to a 256gb 840 pro + 1tb hdd. Also got 16gb of ram for Christmas from my uncle.  Loved that thing

Mine was my Dad's old Dell laptop from like 2002 which I rarely used due to the lack of functionality. The first PC I really used was a desktop from maybe 2005 that was also my Dad's which I threw a graphics card in because my friend had told me about this cool game that I couldn't run with my baseline grade PC. So to me, the desktop was my first PC.

Dell Diminsion E310 back in 05.
3.2GHz Pentium 4 with Hyper threading, 512MB of RAM which I upgraded to 2GB a year or two later. Didn't come with a videocard so added a 256MB PCI card.
That thing was an absolute beast of it's time. I was actually still using it up until 1.5 years ago as a guest PC. It handled basic web browsing easy no problem, but it was starting to show it's age so I formerly retired it and now it resides in my closet with no hard drive

The first PC that I can remember had an AMD Sempron, I think 256MB RAM and a 80GB Hard Drive. Ran Windows XP and Came with a 800x600 4:3 monitor. Was really slow and we got rid of it in 2009. It also had an Optical Drive that would only accept DVDs.

My first build was like 17 years ago, and all I remember about it was it had an AMD K6 200MHz CPU, 32MB of SDRAM, a 500 GB hard drive, and a CD-ROM (can't remember the video card, think the board was an Asus), and it cost half the price of prebuilts that it was way way more powerful than. K6 was the first really great AMD CPU (AMD's CPU division used to be as awesome as their GPU division is now).

I'll admit it, i am an Apple fan . I own every iThing: iMac, iPad, iPhone, iPod, iPoop... but I always wanted something else, something that I could have instead of an xbone or a PS4. And suddenly it hit me, that I could build a custom PC for a fraction of the price of one you can get from big manufacturers (read: Alienware). So I searched the Youtubes for help, and stumbled with LinusTechTips, and here I am, a month later with a bad ass custom gaming PC on a budget.It has the following specifications:

 

CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 at stock clock speed (no water cooling in stock)

MB: Gigabyte Z97MX-Gaming 5

GFX: Gigabyte Windforce GTX 970 (I would have gone with the G1 Gaming but it was out of stock)

PSU: Corsair RM750 (for future expansion and overclocking)

Memory: 8GB of dual channel Hyper X Fury at 1600MHz  

HDD: 320GB Fujitsu laptop HDD I had lying around

Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02

OS: Windows 7 Professional (courtesy of my college) 

 

I haven't bought monitor for it yet, but it looks good at 1080p 60Hz on my Sony HDTV.

It runs games really nicely, and I just invested around $12,000 MXN including taxes (about $820 USD).

Sorry for bad quality smartphone photos

The first PC that I've ever built is the one that I am currently using.

 

It used to have a GTX 780 SC from EVGA and 8GBs of ram, but I've since upgraded to two GTX 970s from Gigabyte and 16GBs of ram; everything else has remained the same.

 

Specs are in my signature.
