4690k gtx 980

fuck that's a pretty beasty first spec

[RoboTechnal]

CPU: i3-6100

GPU: RX 480 4gb

[Princess Luna]

My first dedicated graphics card I bought was a 8600GTS... and Pentium 4 something... but my first ever PC was an IBM running win98 which I don't recall anything about its specs

[Enderman]

i5 2500k

GTX 460SE

[Glennieboyyy007]

idk. pc was from 1998 i think. and was born in 19999 so it was older than me. windows 98 or 95 was my first windows

[captain cactus]

First PC was an old Gateway from the 1998 era with some Pentium.

 

Then we got a Dell with a Pentium D 820, 2GB of RAM and a nVidia 6800 "Family edition", then that thing died and now it has a GT220.

[cj09beira]

a pentium 3 with no external gpu

[davidna2002]

Commodore 128

 

then

 

Intel Pentium Pro 1.6MHZ w/ 3dfx Voodoo1

[typographie]

My first CPU was a Motorola 68040 at 33 MHz in a Mac Performa 580 in about 1995. I have no idea what it used for video output. Those were the days when video performance was measured by whether or not you had 24-bit color at 640x480.

 

Later on I used a Voodoo 3 3000 in an old second-hand Power Mac, and a Geforce 2 MX in a Compaq office PC.

[Bigbootyjudy]

cpu: pentium 4 ht

gpu: some random ass gpu from dell

still have that pc, it just needs a new mobo and Im replacing the cpu with a core 2 duo so i can browse the www

[HongkingGong]

e8400
gt 620

[TheRandomness]

Why can I stay still long enough to take a picture? Anyway, that's the C2D T7200 from my old laptop and Nvidia Go 7700 (12 Pixel shaders, 5 vertex shaders and 12/8 TMUs and ROPs). 

[Vigilante505]

Athlon XP 1700+

GeForce 2

 

Was my first custom build. 

 

First computer I have no idea but it had a 5.25" floppy drive and dos. Right after that we bought a $3k Gateway pentium 3 lol

[tatte]

The first CPU I paid my own money for was a 2.8GHz Celeron (as a part of a full build), the first CPU I bought as a part of my first build was E2160. The first CPU I owned was just like @Sprawlie's, a C64 CPU (if that counts). I had several PCs as a kid without a clue what CPU I had (back then I got PCs for free from/via my older brother).

 

That Celeron came with a Radeon 9200 IIRC, my first touch with hardware happened when it broke down and I had to get a replacement, which was a Radeon 9250. I do know that whatever I had before that 9250 supported newer DirectX version, which turned out to be a great lesson in tech. The first GPU I bought with planning was a 7600GS (9250 just happened to be the best card I could afford in a pinch). I got 8500GT with that E2160.

 

I of course had whatever GPUs with all those PCs that came after C64, but the only card I know I had at some point was a GeForce 4.

 

Bonus fact: I have rescued a 9250 and a GeForce 4. I try to grab pieces of nostalgia whenever I can find them for a reasonable price and have means of using, which is why I don't have a E2160 around despite of its low price (finding the right motherboard is much harder).

 

 

[oskarha]

An AMD Mobile Sempron 3200+ and an ATI Radeon Xpress X1150 if i recall correctly.

[Sir Asvald]

My first ever CPU and GPU? Well the CPU was a P3 the GPU was either ATI (before AMD bought them, yes kids it was known as ATI ) or Voodoo3. Windows 95. I was a baller. 2 years old and my own pc.

 

 

[xDanielxOossiex]

First CPU and GPU that I bought myself:

CPU: New i5 4590

GPU: 2nd hand EVGA GTX750

[Archeval]

This right here was my first and here's the shell

 

it's a Gateway E4100 desktop with Windows XP i got for free from an office who had a surplus of desktops

 

Pentium 4

4GB DDR2 RAM

later added ATI HD2400 (pretty much what it looked like)

400W PSU

146GB storage

16x CD-ROM drive

 

ran with that for about 8 years before my current desktop that I've iterated over the years

 

first computer i used that i didn't own in the household was an apple IIE with a 6502 and no GPU
