| chapset said: It's not just gaming, I use my computer for pretty much everything so this time I want something strong instead of buying something already pre-made that's obsolete the minute you leave the store, I won't go fucking crazy updating every years, I just want something that will last and need be that I can upgrade if the performances slow down. And also I like building stuff so I welcome the chalange and the knowledge I will get from this. thx for your inputs tho |
So you already have a PC? Then you can save a lot of money if you only replace the parts which are too slow and reuse the rest of the components.
When I upgraded from my 2006 setup (Core2Duo E6600, DDR2 RAM, 8800 GTX), I only switched the CPU (Core2Quad 9550) and the GPU (GTX275 then GTX580) until 2013, the rest stayed the same.
In 2013 I switched the mainboard and CPU (i5 -4670k) and RAM (DDR3) and added an SSD, last year I switched the GPU again (GTX 970), the rest stayed the same.
So I still use my 2006 case, power supply, DVD-ROM, HDDs (additional to the SSD), monitors, peripherals (keyboard, mouse, 360-gamepad, 3D-vision...), no need to waste money to replace these components.
