I can still run TF2 on an Athlon 64 X2, a GTX 460, 2 GB DDR2, so hey they're not THAT bad yet :p

That's true. My first desktop had a Athlon 64 @2.3(?) ghz. had a Geforce 9500GT (1gb ddr2 vram) and 2gb of ddr2. Got good fps in most modern games. Skyrim, mc, tf2, etc.

Was that a build? Mine was an Alienware from 2008 and it came with Athlon 64 X2, 1.0 GB DDR2 RAM, and a GeForce 8600 GTS but we did a 2-way SLI and put in another. In 2011 the audio came out like crap though and we got the GTX 460 but then in 2012 the PSU crapped out and fried the mobo so we just bought everyone in the house a laptop :P

I messed up on that post, that was my first gaming build. My first build had a Pentium III @ 1333 mhz. 512mb of DDR ram, 160gb hdd.

In fact, I still have that Pentium III. :o

I have a ton of desktops manufactured between 1997 and 2004. In total I have a Pentium I, 3x Pentium III, and 3x Pentium 4. Most are NEC with a few HPs :P
Your first build sounds quite similar to my 2002 HP Paviloion 7965, Pentium 4 at 1.4 512 DDR, and 160 GB :P

Also I should note that only one of those 7 desktops are out of commission to this date. Guess who! :)

So I got a new Gpu lined up, Gtx 950 SSC. Listing price on amazon is $140 (i think, too lazy to check). Guy is offering $75. I think yeeeesssss.

Then after that comes my cpu upgrade to a fx-8350.

What's in there right now?

Got a Phenom II X4 559 Oc'd to 3.9GHz Currently. The X4 means its a quad core. BUT. The 4th core is dead, and the 3rd is super unstable.

Ooh... suckage. Vishera (FX) CPUs are quite nice, I don't play many games that eat up more than two CPU cores so my 6300 can handle it quite well, plus the overclock to 4.5 GHz. They're cheap because AM4 CPUs are around the corner and Intel skylake outperforms basically all of them easily.

The thing about Vishera CPUs is that take any 8 core CPU, you'll note it has 8 actual cores but basically all the other stuff in there is shared between 2 cores, making it basically a glorified quad core. Even cinebench says so.

Also how did that Phenom die? I got a phenom x3 where my athlon x2 was now :P

Idk. Had it for a while when I ordered it, then i got my mobo a couple months later, returns time had gone away a long time back before that. >>

I just got a job as a repair guy for best buy... huehue
