[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]1) Actually, I do know your specs roughly, and it would cost about 500 to upgrade everything decently. But then you'd have a 7900GT, a 3200+, and a decent mobo. That's a BEASTLY computer.[/QUOTE]
I paid 700 exactly for my computer. Dude, for me, that's not upgrading, that's buying a whole new computer. Just like I said.
You'd also be having me replace the major core of my only 2 year old components. 500 bucks isn't something I feel like dumping into my computer ANY time soon. Especially if my whole computer is only 2 years old. The best it's getting for an upgrade is another stick of RAM, a second Harddrive, and a new capture card.
I don't need a beastly computer. End of discussion.
[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]3) Or you could just save up money slowly, and when you feel you have enough/it's time, upgrade everything. It's not that involved of a process man. Everyone makes it seem like it's a huge debacle to upgrade your PC--it's not if you plan things out, save a little here and there, and wait for the next major technological breakthrough.[/QUOTE]
Uh... DUH. I don't think anyone mentioned me upgrading RIGHT NOW. I mentioned that I can't. I also mentioned that what I save is being spent, or going towards other things. I don't need to upgrade, because I don't WANT to upgrade, and if I DID want to upgrade, I CAN'T upgrade, because the money is going other directions towards more important things.
[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]This I understand. What I don't understand is why they say it's such a hassle. Seriously, it takes me 10 minutes to pick out my parts, 3 days to get them, then 5-30 minutes to put them in my PC, depending on what I get. Not that big of a deal. That's all I'm saying.[/QUOTE]
Because you spend your time reading up on all of it. It takes you ten minutes, because you right away know what's crap, what's not, and what will hold promise. Other people don't have that knowledge making it a hassle when it comes time to pick things out. Understand now?

but he also whined about drivers and stuff.

Most drivers hate me for reasons I'll never understand. That, and I have no major need to update drivers, so when I finally decide to do so, I'm probably partially shooting myself in the foot.
