Our PC is a Dell XPS that we got back in around April 2013. It's also loaded up with the best hardware available for the time and we got the whole thing with the Dell monitor, wireless keyboard, wireless mouse and Logitech speaker set for only $1600 Australian! :)

CPU: Intel I7 8core edition (2012 line)

GPU: Nivida GeForce GTX 660

Sorage: 1.8 terrorbite Seagate hard drive.

RAM: 8GB (manufacturer unknown.) 

 

If you got that CPU from a computer shop back then you would ad least be paying $2300 Australian for it! :)

My PC is pretty bad, with a Core 2 Duo E6550, a GTX 650 Ti, and 4 GB of RAM

I'm planning to buy a i7 3960X and a GTX 980 for cheap prices on ebay, and using them to build a new PC, the PC should be fine and I wouldn't need to use too much money to buy new parts.

These going for $200 on Ebay. For that price, you can get an AMD Ryzen 5 1600. You get 6 cores, and a similar clock speed, but a much lower TDP, and you'll have to buy a new motherboard and RAM anyway. And buying a used 980 is is a good way to go, since the damn miners are buying ever single GPU they can get their hands on. I think if you can get a 1060 6GB or RX 480 or RX 580 for the appropriate price is also something to consider.

I would at least want to wait for Coffee Lake, (or Covfefe Lake if you prefer memes) but right now, I wouldn't even look at Intel in any catagory, and just go with Ryzen instead.

So I recently put a 240GB ADATA SU700 SSD in my laptop, so I figured I'd post that:

 

Intel Core i5 6th Gen 6200U @ 2.30GHz (dual-core)

8GB DDR3-L RAM

240GB ADATA Ultimate SU700 SSD

NVIDIA GeForce 940M and Intel Graphics GPUs (NVIDIA one is 2GB, not sure about Intel)

15.6" Screen at 1920x1080 resolution

Windows 10 Home OS

After almost a year of work I completed this build:

 

Asus KCMA-D8

1 x AMD Opteron 4180 (I can add a second if I want to) cooled by Noctua

32GB dual rank RAM

AMD FirePro V5900

CMI8768 PCI audio - has SPDIF in and out

Kingston KC400 512GB SSD

2 x WD Black 4TB HDDs

LG Blu-ray burner - can do M-Discs and BDXL

Old IDE DVD burner, has an analog audio out which I've hooked up to my sound card, and it is served by a PCI IDE controller

Wrapping things up are eSATAp and USB 2.0 brackets, and a USB 3.0 PCIe controller.

 

All this looks very antiquated for 2017 but there is a method to my madness; I wanted parts that were both reasonably secure (no PSP, IME or SMU exploits) and would be compatible with my target platform, OpenBSD. Yes, the one with a pufferfish as their mascot, where every release comes with at least one song. My implementation is dressed in Xfce + the stock theme and icons. The predecessor to this system is a ThinkPad T510, so I don't feel I'm downgrading, and that thing will continue faithful service at work and college. I may change that to OpenBSD as well if I can figure out LTE modem configuration...

What will the future bring? Well, this will be my final x86-based build for my personal use, unless AMD or Intel change their ways, or VIA retains their coveted license past 2018. I'm keeping an eye on other architectures to see what would serve me well a decade from now.
