my sapphire x1950pro i got at launch....still plays anything ithrow at it.. best £120 i ever spent on a pc part.
My best purchase ever has got to be the Q6600 G0 from OCUK, best £140~ I've ever spent, and an excellent overclocker currently at 3.55Ghz.
Worst is definitely my Radeon 9800 Pro, kept randomly crashing in every game, but managed to use it for a good 2-3 years, and sold it on ebay for £13 a few weeks ago.

My great purchases were:
Abit NF7 V2
1700xp which clocked up to 2ghz easy on air
2500xp which went straight to 3200xp speed
9800 AIW which softmodded to 9800pro
The 1700xp was my first go at overclocking, i did corrupt the bios chip once on the NF7 and didn't fancy doing the hotswap trick so i bought a new bios chip off the net.

A couple of odd things spring to mind, all from my current build. Firstly, my case - the Antec 900. Secondly, my keyboard and mouse. The Microsoft Hardware Business pack. Only £20 and it looks and feels like it should cost 5 times that! Lastly, my e6750. Moved from an Pentium D 830. Couldn't have asked for a better CPU. Recently lapped it to the mirror finish it deserves!
