What was your first computer?

[catzambia]

You don't say?

So why are you bringing up an i3 if you already know that he can't afford one?

Seasonic 80 bronze 650W

2 TB WD black

[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

My current PC, it has changed a bit from when I built it though.

 

Case: Bitfenix Shinobi Windowed Mid-tower ATX

Motherboard: ASUS Z97-PRO

CPU: i7-4770k

CPU Cooler: Stock

RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 1600Mhz 16GB (2x 8GB kit)

Storage: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM

GPU: ASUS DCUII GTX 770 OC 2GB

PSU: Corsair CX600M

 

Changes:

 

Added - Samsung 850 Pro 256GB

Noctua NH-D15

[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

[Ahokas99]

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?

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.

Well because telling him what would be better really comes off as though you're rubbing it in his face that he doesn't have better hardware, as though he hadn't realized that there are better cpus out there.

AMD 5x86 133MHz CPU

4MB RAM

I forget the rest, pretty sure I was rockin' a vesa local bus SVGA graphics card with 512K of memory. There was a computer store down the street from me where I bought all the parts but for the life of me I can't remember the name, it was something like ADC, ADI, ACP, they were local in San Jose, CA as far as I remember.

First exposure to a desktop computer was a Commodore 64 in elementary school, though the first we had in the house was an old x286.

My family's 1st computer was an Apple Lisa and it lasted all of a few weeks before I broke it.  Needless to say they were more than upset.  I do not remember the 2nd computer as I wasn't really allowed to use it.  I think it was a 386. But it was eventually replaced with a 486 DX overdrive (100Mhz) with 8 o 16 MB of Ram which I was allowed to use (it was mine).   But the downside was I was stuck with it for a long time (they refused to buy me a new computer).  I learned how to tweak it (mostly software) and run Windows 3, 3.1,95 and 98 on it.  I eventually did get a new computer (AMD), but for laughs I tried to install Windows 2000 and ME on the old PC (it burned out on one of them, but I don't recall which).

[Guest trucker2]

I have a broken model 25 in the garage I loved that thing..

 

Am I the only one here aware that a Lisa went for 10 grand?

 

First pc was a free 386 above board...broke it

 

Then a free 286 that I upgraded to 486DX2 when I found out the 286 would not play Doom

[Jsarthak]

Mine was a Pentium 4 with 256 MB RAM and a 37GB HDD
