Family PC probably rotting in a garbage fill being sorted through by underpaid laborers. Despite being lower end, you probably saw a world of difference going from that 4350 to the R7 240?

It's like day and night. For example, Euro Truck Simulator 2 on HD 4350 would struggling to get 15-20 FPS even everything set on low. With R7 240, 20-30 FPS on medium setting are achievable.

If set everything high (except antialiasing off), 12 FPS stable still can be achieved. But, just don't "drive" the "truck" at night, it's dangerous to drive with 5 FPS. It's like drunk driving, hahaha..

I can't recall half of the systems I used to have, but here's what I can remember :-)

1983
Second-hand Sinclair ZX81 with memory pack.

1986
Acorn Electron with Slogger Plus 1 and 5 1/4" external disk drive! I managed to run a fair few pirated BBC games on this thing as well :-)

Late 1990
Olivetti PCS 286 with VGA adaptor and both 3 1/2" and 5 1/4" drives. The actual CPU was an NEC V30 running at 12MHz. Served me well for a couple of years.

Also used my brother's 486 on-and-off.

1993
Purchased a Pentium 60, built by Time Computers. Can't remember the full specs of this machine.

1994
Upgraded to a Pentium 90.

c.1996
Upgraded to a Pentium Pro. These were quite awesome but underrated CPUs.

At some point I invested in a Supermicro tower case (twice!). It really was quite imposing.

1996 - 2006
My system by this time was handbuilt and I just kept swapping out components as I needed to, so I really cannot remember much about what I had. I do remember getting a 3dfx Voodoo3 during 1999, though. Quake looked awesome :-)

The OS progressed from Win95, Win98, WinME (briefly) and WinXP until mid-2006 when I recklessly backed up all of my data and switched to OpenSUSE 10.2 in one day!

During this period I was also using SCSI hard disks. Much more expensive but *very* fast. Sadly I couldn't keep it up and now use slow old SATA ;-)

2007 - 2016
At some point I switched to AMD CPUs but I really cannot remember what my various systems were!

2016 onwards
My current system is an AMD FX-9370 with 16Gb RAM, Nvidia GTX 970 graphics card, Roccat keyboard and mouse, 7Tb HD space, Logitech F710, Steam Controller and both a tv and monitor connected. OS is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

I couldn't be happier!

I've done a very small edit using spoilers to make it easier for the eye and mentioning my new desktop

Nahh.. I already saw your Game Boy. I suggesting you keep it instead of selling it (unless you're really need money). Price will going up and up as more people are looking for one especially if it's functional.

Early 1974 Atari Pong, my Dad worked in the toy industry at the time & managed to get his hands on one of the first machines in the country & brought it home so we could test it before it went mass market. Happy days. :D

1983 Commodore 64 (wish I'd never got rid of it as the games & music made for it were brilliant.

1993 SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis) with the Mega-CD attachment, Sonic the Hedgehog got a lot of abuse from my & my kids.

1995 Packard Bell 486 DX (quickly upgraded to the SX) running DOS & Windows 3.1, DOOOOOOOOOOOM, my first taste of FPS gaming.

1998 - present a series of self built machines running everything from Windows 3.1, XP, 7, 8, 8.1 & since 2006 dual booting Ubuntu.
