Well after my latest upgrade, i built a cheap little gaming computer that has handled cod4 beautifully (which was its intended usage) I kinda have decided that im not upgrading until:

solid state hdd's are more common
ddr3 becomes more mainstream
the cores on cpu's stop multiplying so fast

This might mean in less then a year i'll have to upgrade, but if the technology comes that fast i won't regret upgrading, i mean i only spent about $500 for my rig now.

So when is your guys next big upgrade? Tommarow? A year? When some new game comes out?
 
hopefully Q4 of this year or Q1 of 2009. :)

i'm waiting for the prices to drop further more here. they're quite low already but, i can wait. :)
 
hmm il probably be upgrading my Cpu sometime around christmas.

im going Quad,might invest in a better case too,im not bothering upgrading gfx or anything else they will be fine for some time yet
 
Yeah, I'll probably upgrade my CPU later, maybe get an SLi Motherboard and another 8800GT.

But I recently ordered a gaming laptop, SLi 8600's, so thats my recent 'upgrade'.
 
I'm planning to get the following but I haven't really got the order so I will just post most of it. But I'm definitely getting the hard drive next.

HDD 400-500 GB
Case (Antec 900/1200)
DVD RW
+2GB RAM
PSU 700W (For future proofing)
Sound Card
Extra Screen

All i need now is some money.Heh heh.:o
 
I just did an upgrade at the beginning of April. New CPU, motherboard, RAM, DVD burner. When's the next one? When some major part blows up in my face!

Maybe when the 4870's come out, they just keep wanting me to spend all my money. :(

Those ati's are looking pretty good thus-far, probably take the gpu crown for a small while until once more it starts going back and forth with new releases...

Still i think im going to have to wait a while until i can afford a 64gb SSD....those just seem amazing.
 
when something comes along that can beat the price:performance ratio of the 8800GT.

but a minor upgrade will be passive cooling for my 8800GT

also, probably 64bit Vista within the next year, hopefully they will work a few more bugs out
 
I'm getting a 4870 when it's released. I'll probably upgrade everything else next year.
