The only real big upgrades with both computers were the video cards. When I build the first computer, I had a crappy video card to make room for a 7800gt soon after. After a few years and I gave that computer to my parents to replace their really old computer and built myself a new tower while keeping the 7800gt for a while longer. Over the summer, I replaced the 7800gt with a 8800gt.

It works well enough and falls nowhere near the whole "Oh, you have to upgrade every month just to play your games!"
