hey guys, thought I'd start a topic on peoples first builds as i am currently starting my first proper build. what kind of hardware did you guys use in you're first build and how did you think it went? :)
 
decided to go for a super nova X79 mobo, 3820 i7 @ 3.7GHz, 16Gb Geil RAM, Prolimatech Armageddon cooler, HAF X tower, EVGA GTX 660Ti 2Gb and a 1000W PSU for a possible SLI system in the near future.

EDIT: should say a cooler master silent pro 2 1000W PSU

My first build was an AMD K5 back in 1996, before that id been messing around with a couple of 486 computers id bought from work, just installing memory, graphics cards and modems at the time.

My first dial-up modem was 14.4 kbit/s ...a bit slower than my 100mb connection these days :)

Ive lost track of the mumber of computers ive build in those 16 years but they are still fundamentally the same as they were back then.....just faster.

This is almost as old as I am:L remember when i was a kid the older computers were quite slow and you had to wait about 5 minutes for the dial up :L

My first build ( last year ) went fantastic, i had mixed up two cables on the motherboard, one for the on button on my case, and one for the reset, got them the wrong way round, and freaked out that it wouldn't start, took me a few hours to find out what i had done haha, other than that i was suprised i had accomplished it myself and felt proud :D
