The first two computers to use monolithic IC chips were the Minuteman II guidance computer (1962 to 1970) and the Apollo Guidance Computer (1962 to 1975). At the time they were designed the price of the chips they used (which only contained 1 to 6 logic gates) was about $1000 per chip, by the time production of these computers was finished (roughly 1967) the price of the same chips had fallen to about $25 per chip due to improvements in fabrication methods driven by the demand of these two projects.

The rapidly declining price of monolithic IC chips over the period of the 1960s allowed many companies to introduce commercially available computers using monolithic IC chips,

The first computer to use microprocessor chips was the classified F-14 RADAR data processor in 1968 (this computer remained classified until sometime in the 1990s, so it does not appear in many books on computer history).

The first commercially available computer to use microprocessor chips was the Busicom 141-PF calculator, using the Intel 4004 microprocessor in 1971.

What was the first computer to use computer chips made of transistors?

All computer chips have been made out of transistors, you cannot make them out of vacuum tubes. The first monolithic IC chip (see image above) was made at Texas Instruments in 1958 on a bar of germanium (not silicon), it was a simple audio amplifier. The first digital logic monolithic IC chips were built around 1961 or 1962.
