"Are you going to buy a new PC, or upgrade your PC this year?"
Yeah, i guess. Mine ain't the high end super computer like four years ago...

Actually it newer was, but you know :3:
I'm going to get an i7 2600K later this year, together with a new mobo and case.
Nah, with all the pc games being ports of inferior hardware (consoles) i dont need to upgrade.
I'm using a Pentium IV now so I kinda need the upgrade.

Automerge!
Custom built a whole new computer in autumn so obviously no need.
Won't really need to do anything with it for a good 3-5 years since I won't [I]need[/I] anything stronger as I don't prioritize games, and especially not getting 150FPS instead of 100FPS.
An I7 930CPU, Nvidia GTX 265, 12GB of DDR3 RAM, some 1366 Gigabyte Motherboard and a 1000W PSU will serve me well for many many years to come for video and photo editing as well as playing games at a high or medium setting without problems. I probably won't afford upgrading it either since I'll (hopefully) start studying this year.
Going to upgrade the old parts soon.
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4
i5-2400
A new fan and 6GB DDR3 ram.
[B]1. Are you going to buy a new PC, or upgrade your PC this year?[/B]
[B]Hopefully a new one
[/B]
[B]2. If buy, how much do you think you might spend?[/B]
[B]Around £550
[/B]
[B]5. Do you use a laptop for gaming? If so, why that rather than a lovely desktop box?[/B]
[B]It was a gift, don't dis, it runs crysis medium-high.
[/B]
[B]6. Are you clueless about building stuff and think it costs £2000 for a new PC? If so, would you like RPS to show you how to build a cheap, fast PC?[/B]
[B]No
[/B]
[B]7. If you’re buying a new graphics card, what are you getting, and why?[/B]
[B]Whatever is good at the time, it'd be foolish to choose this early on in the year.
[/B]
[B]8. And why are decent PSUs so expensive!? Seems like a big old price gouge to me. But anyway.[/B]
[B]Because they fucking break and fry yo shizzle otherwise.

My GPU copped out on Christmas day, sold my spare novint falcon and the broken GPU on ebay, getting a GTX460.
Gee i wish Intel relesed Pentium V already :downs:
