My gaming machines- Then & Now
Throughout my childhood I played on a very low spec PC. This PC was only just capable of running games on the lowest graphical settings with playable FPS. unfortunately I do not remember the specs of this PC. However at this day of age i have upgraded this PC with the latest parts that allows me to play top tier games on high/ultra video settings. My current PC build consists GTX 970 and a Intel i5 4460 3.20GHz. The 970 was released on the 18th of December 2014 where as the processor was released
Over the years peripherals and monitors have also improved a lot. I currently play with the corsair K40 keyboard RGB along with the corsair M65 RGB along with a turtle beach headset. The monitor I use now is a 144Hz 1ms response time 27" AOC. Having this PC is great as there is there is no game I cannot play with nice graphics where as my first PC was very limited. The keyboard and mouse of a PC allows more smooth movement and gives the player more control on what they are doing. In the future I plan to upgrade either my CPU or GPU. To either an i7 or a gtx1070-1080.
Because of this issue I fell in love with a FPS called Counter Strike. At the time this game wasn't as popular as it was today but it required very little power within your PC making it great for what I had. Still to this day I still play counter strike. I upgraded my PC as valve released new counter strikes. Currently I am playing Counter Strike: Global Offensive. The reason I love counter strike as much as i do is because each match played is different to the previous. Its never the same and always gives a new experience, jam packed with intense scenarios. I attend multiple LAN's every year for this game and compete with teams. Often we get out of group stages but get destroyed from there on out.
There are many advantages and disadvantages when it comes to PC over console. The advantages include: Playing in higher resolutions, playing on higher graphics(4k), the fact that your PC can be upgraded at any time. You could also modify the games to make then better or funnier.

Whilst playing on PC I use a platform called "Steam" and "Origin" to launch my games. I play other games such as League of Legends, H1Z1: King of the Kill, Over Watch and Rocket League.
Differences between what i played on what i play now:
Counter Strike 1.6
Counter strike 1.6 was released on the 19th of July 1999. This when the counter strike legacy began because the counter strike developers teamed up with valved
Counter Strike Source
Counter strike sources was released late 2004 on November the 1st. This game wasn't such a big hit as 1.6 as players didn't want to move on.
Counter strike Global Offensive was released late 2012 on August the 21st. CSGO was a huge hit within the gaming community on PC and has became a huge Esport.
