Custom built with my dad two years ago.  He built the older computer that I had but I took the initiative to upgrade by choosing the products since my work required it.  We spent two days after we moved in the apartment before I finally used it after we moved in Feburary of last year.  Motherboards still freak me out to touch but dang, is it beautiful and so fast.

I have a Lenovo ideapad 330. It's good enough for the stuff I used to do, but I've been finding myself needing more performance recently, so I'll have to get a desktop soon.

Intel i5 8250U at 1.6 GHz, turbos to 3.4GHz

Intel UHD 620 graphics

8 GB RAM

500 GB Samsung 860 SSD

900p 17 inch display

I can't wait to build my first PC. I'll probably just throw an SSD, an RX 580, and some extra RAM into an old prebuilt. You can one with a gen 4 i7 for a little over $100 on eBay if you look hard enough, which is a really good deal.

I hope the stars align correctly for the deal to be any good

I'm not a huge computer nerd, but the one I'm currently using to type this post is an ASUS Q524UQK, with an Intel-Core i7 7500H CPU processor and an Nvidia GeForce 940mx GPU.

Given that the one I have is about 4 years old, it's not suited to running exceptionally well. I mean... it runs older games like TF2 and Minecraft decently well, but some games like GTA V and Rainbow Six struggle quite a bit on high graphics settings. I picked it up at around an $850 price point, but keep in mind, that was four years ago.

I've upgraded to an Acer Predator Helios 300 as of this year. It's the newest model, the one with a really nice 144Hz display, with an i7 9750H processor and a GeForce 1660 Ti GPU. It also looks pretty badass, though I'm not really sure since I got it shipped to the States and I'm still overseas. ^^;

The thing that really drew me in (other than all the cool features I pointed out already) is the advanced cooling system. From what I've heard about this thing, it's incredibly loud, but I don't really mind since I game with headphones on all the time anyway (Corsair VoidPro 800's if anyone is interested).

The thing normally goes for about $1200, but I managed to get it for around $1100 on Amazon, so. Pretty stoked for this one. :3

Borderlands 3 came out and it does not run on my main PC (black screen at start and that's it), even after I updated the video card drivers and restarted it (though that gave me opportunity to add more RAM, now my main PC has 96GB).

It starts and runs on my laptop, but the laptop does not get enough FPS.

So, I built a new "demanding game PC" from the hardware I had lying around:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1400*
MB: Asus Prime B350-Plus
RAM: 32GB DDR4-2400
GPU: GeForce GTX970**
HDD: 15kRPM 300GB; 7k2RPM 1TB
PSU: Chieftec 750W (go it it for free after it blew up, repaired it with better capacitors).
Sound card: ESI U22 XT USB audio interface
Case: Rackmount 4U IPC case.
OS: Windows 8.1

*Motherboard supports better CPUs, but this is what I had lying around.
** I have a few GTX1070s, but they do not have VGA output, so, until I get a high frequency adapter (1920x1200@85Hz), I'll have to use the 970.

The game runs here and it looks like this PC is fast enough for it, so I hopefully won't need to buy a better CPU.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1400

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3gb

Storage: Samsung 860 QVO 1TB SSD (That's it for now)

Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max (So I can scale other parts up later, now it's just something to get by with)

RAM: 2 8GB Sticks (Ballistix brand, but not sure exactly what they are)

Ah. My current piece of junk.

It's a Dell Inspiron 530s with the original garbage 250W power supply (almost certainly nowhere near that anymore), the terrible motherboard, and the awful case with bad airflow, no fan mounting points, and it can only take low profile graphics cards. I'm planning on just gluing some fans to the case to improve airflow.

Nvidia GeForce GT 710 (1GB version)

Intel Pentium E2160 (65W dual core CPU at a blistering 1.8 GHz). I was planning on upgrading to a Core 2 Quad Q8200s, but it apparently isn't compatible with the motherboard (thanks, Dell). The Q9400 is cheap and is supposedly verified to work in this specific PC, but it's a 95W CPU, and I'm worried that the old power supply can't handle that in addition to the graphics card, and it's really not a good enough computer to justify spending that much more money. At that point I might as well just build a good PC from scratch.

A 120GB Crucial SSD and two 500GB laptop hard drives that I had lying around.

And a USB Bluetooth adapter.

But hey, at least the monitor is okay. It's a Sceptre 20 inch 1600 x 900 monitor with 5ms of response time, and it's 75Hz. I bought it when I got my Xbox, and it's actually really good for the $60 I paid for it. Someday when I get an okay PC (or upgrade the CPU in this one), I'll see what a screen above 60Hz looks like for the first time, and I'm somewhat excited for it.
