I don't know the specific specs anymore, I could check, the system is under my desk, not having been plugged in years, currently serving as a foot rest, but I'm feeling lazy at the moment.. will edit later I guess.

 

Initially :

CPU : AMD Athlon XP 2800+

RAM : 512MB (dunno the brand)

Motherboard : K7N2 Delta2 MS-6570E

GPU : None, used integrated. (Nforce 2 400 or something..)

PSU : OKIA-550 ATX

HDD : Western Digital 40GB PATA

ODD : Some LG DVD-RW

Case : Cooler Master Centurion 531 (I think? No model name on the case itself, other than "centurion" on the front.)

 

Later upgraded the RAM to 1GB(dunno the brand).

GPU was upgraded to a ATI X800XL AGP.

HDD was upgraded with a 250GB Seagate drive. (kept the old one)

 

Current specs though is the upgraded parts, except the RAM was updated to 2GB fairly recently, I impulsed bought a kit when it was on sale, even though I wasn't using that PC anymore

And the GPU, Scumbag brother left the PC in his car trunk during winter when we moved a couple years ago. The GPU ended up dying. (Along with the 40GB HDD that was still in it)

I put in some random AGP GPU I got, in it for now, but I do not intend to use it again, unless my PC ends up dying for some reason.. but then again, my Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet is probably more powerful than that thing by now...

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700x / GPU: Asus Radeon RX 6750XT OC 12GB / RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16GB DDR4-3200
MOBO: MSI B450m Gaming Plus / NVME: Corsair MP510 240GB / Case: TT Core v21 / PSU: Seasonic 750W / OS: Bazzite

First ever build was for a friend which cost about 1100 bucks (budget of 1000). This was back in the early days (I built this last summer, picked out parts back when I was in school, hell didn't even use PCPartPicker, picked everything out by hand and had to make sure it worked myself) when I first started learning about PCs, and didn't really know how to balance builds or put certain CPUs with certain chipsets for OCing. I hadn't signed up for LTT yet or I wasn't smart enough to put the rig on here, so there are quite a few mistakes to this rig.

CPU: i7-4771

Cooler: Corsair H55

Mobo: Asrock Z87E-ITX

RAM: 8GB (2 by 4GB) Corsair XMS3 @ 1333 Mhz

Storage: WD Black? Blu? Think it was Blu... 1TB HDD NO SSD.

GPU: MSI Twin Frozr 4 GTX 760

PSU: ThermalTake TR2 500W

Case: CM elite 130

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

My first PC was built by someone else, so I guess that doesn't count

 

The first build I ever did was:
Athlon64 x2 4400+

2gig Corsair xms2

ASUS M2N-MX SE

Integrated nforce shitgraphics

Old IBM netvista sff case and psu

 

Still runs but one of the ram slots is non functional (could be the CPUs memory controller or a bad board, don't know, don't care tbh)

pc specs: 4 function calculator / 8 digit lcd display / colored numeric and function buttons

Wow....   I am not sure I can even remember.   

 

I believe it was a 486 based system.  I know the hard drive was around 20MB and it had an external CD reader.   The CD reader was about the size of a modern DVD player for your TV.   I don't remember the amount of Ram.   Probably 2-4 Mb or so.  

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

I don't think I'll find it on PCPartPicker... Lets just say it had a button on the front that said "turbo" and a little LED to light up with it ;)

 

UMC 486dx 33MHz

Some Pine Technology Motherboard, think it was PT 430 with 64k cache

16MB of 72pin SIMM RAM

Diamond Stealth ET4000 1MB VGA 

 

Can't remember what hard drive I had, can't have been much more than 500MB at most though.

 

OH and Windows 95

 

I built this computer from scraps we got from a tip, bearing in mind I was about 7 years old...

lets see my first PC which I rebuilt because it had both a bad CPU and a bad motherboard had the following specs

CPU LGA 775 Core 2 Duo

Motherboard was so ASUS P series ATX board

It was in a 10 year old grey computer case that had turned a sickly colour from cigarettes 

I had 4 Gigs of HyperX Blue DDR2 RAM

an nVidia Ge Force 9500 GT

and a 250 GB WD Blue drive 

and the creme de la creme was the 64 bit Win XP it was running
