In late 1997 my dad gifted me the first (and only) PC, it was:
Pentium Pro 200MHz MMX
32MB RAM
3GB HDD
Matrox Mystique 4MB PCI
17" NEC monitor
I always had to uninstall some game to be able to install a new one.
In the summer of 1998 he bought a Voodoo 2 12MB, it was mindblowing how unreal Unreal looked with it.
In 2001 I upgraded to 128MB RAM and it made quite the difference but of course the CPU was obsolete by that time, but I had this PC till early 2004.
I still have the CPU and some of the other components sitting in my shelf.

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.
