i just built a computer and im totally addicted, how often should i have fun spend some money and build a new one, my first build put me in the 600.00 range. im thinking once a year?
That will depend on your resources overall along iwth the actual need. Most want to get into a system that will last a few years(2-4yrs.) until there is a need to upgrade. I use one primary for under two years top while putting others cases together on a periodic basis when someone else needs a new build. If you want all the latest "bells and whistles" when they first come out you will be paying away your life savings there fast enough.
i'd say as often as you can afford, if you don't have enouch cashto build a new pc regularly then howabout getting a few old ones of ebay, taking them apart then putting them back together to make a far better old PC, or you could do this with laptops, there are loads of "broken" laptops on ebay that probably just need sopmething like a new hard drive or power supply, and have fun building, i've been wanting to build another PC since i did mine at christmas, i was hoping to do one for family but now my uncles has broke he is getting someone else to build him one , but i am hoping to get his "broken" pc to get the decent parts out of
