i spent about 1.1-1.2k on the computer in my sig, to me, it seems as though i could've gotten something much better... like, something in the 7800 series and an X2... i dunno, it just feels as though i got ripped off some how
 
Same. For my $1500 I could get something twice as good now. But prices have been dropping alot lately.
 
well when did you get it? and i think you did spend too much on it. in Computer Specs 101 you could have gotten a way better system. like a x2 4200, the 7800gt or X1800XT and up to 2gb of ram.

its been built over time
 
It all depends on when you bought your computer. I've been using the same P3 733 Mhz computer for around 6 years now. I bought it for $1500 usd, did I get ripped off? No, I didn't because at that time $1500 was roughly the going rate for the computer package I bought. The same concept obviously applies to individual components.

I've been wanting to buy a new computer for the last 3 years or so, but have been short of money for what I wanted and have put it off. While it sucks that I've had to wait this long for a new (let alone decent) computer, since I'm building one very soon....the upside of it is that I could buy an absolutely crazy system for $1500 compared to the one I've had. Actually I'll be spending roughly $700 for everything besides a monitor and mouse, still will be an insane performance jump. ($1500 and $700 is about the same thing for a comp nowadays compared to one from 6 years ago imo - at least it's in the same DIMENSION) :)

Although I wish I could build a new computer and/or upgrade a few times per year like some people, its also true that doing this seems almost like a waste of money in some situations.
