What was your first computer?

[bamerx98]

It seems like it was yesterday but it was only a few years ago now but here we go

Phenom II x4 955 BE

MSI 760G Motherboard

8Gb of RipJawz X 1600mhz for 33.99 wishing ram was this cheap still

Gigabyte 550ti Windforce (69.99)

Coolermaster Elite 335U with 500W power supply

1TB Seagate Barricuda

 

All of this came to about 450 dollars after taxes and was a really good pc i enjoy the computer and really got in to pc gaming and to be honest I think i spent the most amount of hours on this setup. Later dropping a 7870 Tahiti in which might have gotten more hours played on it then the 550ti but over all it was amazing pc and I wish I didn't sell it all, but ive got a bigger more expensive and better pc now which is great but i still think that i spent more time on that setup then my current setup playing games. I wish i could get back in to the games.

Gigabyte GA-K8N-Pro-SLI Motherboard

AMD Athlon 64 3800+

1GB of DDR400-PC3200 RAM
GeForce 6800GS GFX Card

Some generic case that came with a 500w power supply. Power supply died after 6-8 months or so. But I did my own cable sleeving on it, so that's cool.

nobody building a sub 400 dollar pc is going to spend 3x the money they're already spending for a part.

[CrusaderNINE]

Alright, lets see...

 

First "Build" I got was a prebuild that I upgraded pretty much entirely after time, total waste of money but well worth the experience I suppose.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227368

Upgraded to an AMD 960t Black, MSI 560ti, HyperX 2x4gb RAM, and a SeaSonic 620w Power supply. Then got an MSI 660 for it.

Current build- http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7Fskt6

[MatazaNZ]

My first build is also my current one. I built it in 2014.

Intel Core i7-4770k

ASRock Z87 Extreme 6

16GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 (Now sitting on 8GB, one DIMM died while replacing my heat sink)

Cooler Master Seidon 240m (Formerly Cooler Master Hyper 212EVO)

Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X (Was planning on a second after initial build, but money became an issue for a while)

Cooler Master 850w Power supply

Intel 730 250GB SSD

Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD

I know things are a little overkill for what I needed it for, but it will last me, and allows for easy expansion if I need it

[Guest]

Current one is the "first one" i first built, even though the 212 and 7970 were added later, but let's say it was beta test with gtx-660 and stock cooler

I think I have fetish for Asus backplate?  

This Funny little dongle is thermal sensor from the Mark 1

The first PC I built (some time during 2003):

 

AMD Athlon XP 2700+
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe
1024MB Corsair DDR PC3200
ATi Radeon 9600 Pro
Lite-On LTR-522465 CD-RW

I don't remember the HDD, but probably 120GB or so...
Windows XP Pro

 

...all in this beast of a case (which was incredibly poorly-constructed and had so many sharp edges that I cut myself numerous times):

 

 

[The_Stig]

i7-4790k

ASRock Z97 Pro3

16gb Kingston HyperX RAM

GT 730 

Rosewill Challenger

Corsair CX600

 

I built this for my dad because I said that I could make a faster computer for the same price as a Dell Optiplex even though I knew nothing about building a computer. The only reason he agreed is because he is a computer science major and figured that he could help.
