1. When I went from a Nintendo DS broken and beaten

That I hadn't used in years, to my first custom built PC.

A Gigabyte GTX770 based build. i7-4770k OC with a Noctua NH-D14 cooler mounted on an Asus Z-87 Pro with 16gb of Corsair ram and booting off a Samsung 840pro ssd.

All hooked up to an Asus 1440p monitor

Still running it, probably going to upgrade to a second 770 soon and hopefully third at somepoint.

Soooo much fun to play with. Not quite enough power to max fps modern games, but more than enough for most, and 1440p 60fps is glorious

Best thing I've seen on it was a heavily, heavily modded Skyrim scene. I was running around 200+ visual mods all playing surprisingly nice together after patching them. I was getting around 2 fps, but each frame was possibly the most gorgeous thing ever then I broke the game completely, and had to reinstall it for the 5th or 6th time...
