I never understood why people would keep upgrading their PC every month when they'll just upgrade it again within a few more months.
Then again, I play games on low settings cuz I use a shitty graphics card. I'm too cheap to spend a ton of money to upgrade just to go from low to medium settings.
My theory on this was to drop 2~3k on a rig and future proof it a little.
Currently running an FX-8120, 570x2 in sli, 16GB RAM, everything oc'ed. Can still run most games on higher settings, but I like to be able to max stuff out.
