Post your first self-bought build

Fun fact:
I could order the parts for this build off eBay for $86.48 and end up with an extra 2GB RAM and a spare Athlon 64 3000+.

My first self built pc had an i7-5820k, 16gb ram and a 760. Before that I lived in an apartment so not enough space. I used laptops.

The fuck? Did you live in a closet or something? If you have room for a fridge then you have room for a desktop.

my 486 had a lot of work done at the time. installing a sound card, then a cd-rom (which used the ide port on the soundcard) and even a bit of ram.

after that i did a full pentium mmx socket 7 build based around a cpu+motherboard combo from frys. wish i could remember all the hardware. i do remember by the end i had a Riva TNT running in that fucker.

Because desktops consist of solely the tower and don't require monitors or desks or chairs or anything to use comfortably

my first computer was similar

asus a7n8x-deluxe
and amd barton if I remember right

It was a long time ago and I used Tigerdirect, which I no longer have the account for.

It was something along the lines of, Nvidia 7600GS and a phenom tri-core(one of the early ones that were potentially unlockable to quad core.) I really wanted an ati 4890 but just didn't have the money. I bought a shite power supply that crapped out after a few months, never recovered the build. I had an edgy chrome full tower with a huge window like a total faglet

i can fit all of that in my closet. it's a small closet too. a full pc setup will fit in a small apartment no problem. unless you're a hoarder and already filled the place with other junk.

i3 6100
HyperX FURY DDR4 Memory
MSI B150 PRO-VD mobo
GTX 1050
WD 1tb

>>59160678

Q6600
don't remember the mobo
8GB of Mushkin DDR2(big mistake not spending more for DDR3)
GeForce 9800 GX2(huge mistake, run super hot, like 90+ Celsius hot, and died few days after warranty ended)
Antec P182 that started my love affair with cases that are big black boxes with thick walls, my current case is a Thermaltake Suppressor
Thermalright cooler that I don't remember the model of, I think it was the biggest cooler that I could afford, still love huge heatsinks on everything

My first build was far from optimal, but I was proud of it at the time.

fx8120
gt 545
8 gigs of ram crucial ballistix
gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 rev 1.1

I got the gpu a while before on sale but I regret not getting the gtx 460 next to it for slightly more
no idea how much everything costed. But I know I got a good deal on the cpu, and the mobo was practically free.
Ram was like $40

Around 1000€ and it was a beast back in 2006-2007.

that's a really sweet build. Performance/$ King right here. I bet it plays 1080p high settings most games.

Was a while ago so forget some of the specifics
AMD Thunderbird
ATI Radeon (The one that was just called Radeon)
128 mb of ram
60 gig hd
