What's your CPU & GPU history like Sup Forums?

It's been years since I've upgraded so I think it's th perfect time to modernize my system.

2015-2016 GTX 760, CPU i7 2700k
2017 GTX 1070 i7 7700k
wew

2013- FX 8320, AMD 7850
now- still rocking them. Thinking of upgrading tho: i5-7500 and GTX 1080 (maybe Ti)

Crazy to see how often I used to upgrade my config. Then it's been pretty much nothing since 2012.

oh shit, I forgot.

1990-1995 Amstrad 6128+
1995-1998 286 6Mhz + Hercule MDA (read monochrome) "graphics card"

2000-2008 - some shitty pentium 3 prebuilt my family bought at a garage sale and kept for years
2008-2013 - pentium 4 prebuilt neighbors gave me cause it stopped working for them but I fixed it by replacing the CPU cooler and spraying it with compressed air
2013-2016 - Dell Latitude E6430
2016 - first custom made system. i7 6700K, 64GB RAM, 1TB SAMSUNG 960 Pro, GIGABYTE GTX 1080 Ti (upgraded from my 1080 that I sold)

You lie. No one rocking that AMD setup and herd rumors of Ryzens existence would consider Intel.

He probably has PTSD from years of AMD.

Intel i7 and AMD 7970 in 2012.

upgraded to gtx 970 in 2014 or something because I broke that card.

Had FX-4350 and HD 6670 for a while
Swapped 6670 for a 390 when it first came out, and then last month upgraded to a 1700.

Ahhh yes goyim, make sure you upgrade every 2 years, you don't want to get behind do ya?

i7 870+GT420>GTX670>i5 4670k

Next, a new GPU, still don't know which one.

good goy

still using 3570k and 670gtx, dont really see reason to upgrade, might need to reinstall windows 10 and redo thermal paste on cpu though, cpu usage seem to have gotten up quite a bit.

ITT: newfags don't know what it's like to upgrade every fucking year.
Moore's law is fucking dead.

Holly shit how poor can you be?
I'm pretty sure you could have built a way better PC by reselling it on EBay as vintage stuff.

ibm 386 @ 25Mhz
p3 500Mhz slot 1
Athlon 1600+
Athlon 64 3000
Pentium 4 800D (o'clocking beast)
AM3 somthing or other dual core
i5 2500k (still with it 5/6 yrs later)

Until 2011: Some prebuilt with a Core 2 Duo, no idea what else was in there because I had no clue about computer
2011: First self-built PC with i5-2500K + HD6950
2012: HD6950 died, replace with HD7870
2013: HD7870 died, replace with HD7970

Still the same until today.

I will upgrade my GPU when Vega comes out, either to a 1080 Ti or Vega if it proves competitive.
I will upgrade my CPU to Zen2 or Skylake-X (on the odd chance that it's actually competitive with Ryzen which I doubt but you never know)

2004 - 2006 pentium2 and some Nvida fanless card
2006 - 2011 same pentium and a Radeon HD 2600 pro
2011 - 2014 Phenom 955 and a 6870
2014 - 2016 FX 8320 + 550ti, the 6870 shat itself
2016 - same FX + dual RX480s

Would have done the same, but my 3770k is dying on me after I decided to overclock it on a whim.
Sadly, I got my Ryzen 1600x build last friday and it just doesn't work.
Now I'm in RMA hell.

>pentium 2
It was pentium 4

Don't worry, nobody believed you'd get a Pentium 2 in 2004

such a waste. retard.

I'm just saying a P3 in 2007 was pretty much a museum piece.
Most likely, you didn't have much use of this PC, or it was not yours and your parent's one.

Just look at my history moron, i keep computer 8-10 years, and I don't vary from that cadence.

The P3 rig was over $2200 in 1998.

6700k is cheaper and same performance

>Why downgrade to a 980?
I had severe coil whine on my R9 290X and I wanted CUDA again for media creation, plus I made around $250 cash in "down-grading" to the GTX 980.

>And downgrade a 4 GB Classified to a 2 GB card?
Yeah that was kinda dumb of me but I was forced to. The GTX 680 CLASSIFIED was physically too big for my NCASE M1. Though again, I did make around $200 for the downgrade. Bought the CLASSIFIED for $400, got the MSI for $200.

Im switching from amd to Intel because of ryzen launch. Cost of a ryzen 7 system = cost of an i7 system

8 to 4 GB is a downgrade. But it seems you profited from it.

I'm running pic related now and it never goes above 3GB in the most memory intensive cases.

Was sad to see the R9 290X go because I got it for a bargain. It was a reviewer's test sample, used it for a couple of days then sold off for other GPUs to review. I also really got lucky with the GTX 980 too. Seller was desperate for money so offered him cold hard cash for decent discount.

Some anons here upgrade CPUs or GPUs yearly.
