Yeah I don't upgrade often, hoping to be lucky enough to get in on a new x3d soon.
 
Non PC stuff - then

486 DX2 66
Pentium 133
Pentium 200 MMX
Celeron 300a
Athlon X2 4800
Q6600
4790K
10700K

12400 to make another PC with the bits I had from upgrades

So my next one should be 16 core / 32 thread but most of what I do now only stresses the GPU so it probably won't be.

Edited to add - I also briefly had an intel overdrive chip - caused really weird audio feedback issues, shop let me return it.
