What about you. Do you upgrade every time Intel blows their horn with the announcement of a new CPU, or whenever Nvidia or AMD announce a relatively beefier graphics card? Or are you more realistic and conservative with your PC buying budget?"
What is better Ryzen or Intel? Choosing a processor for a PC can be a daunting task, especially if you're new to computing.
The ThinkStation P360 Ultra is a tiny beast.
when it really really sucks, like i cant play the most recent games, on low, if that happens i have a base which is all the components in the computer therefore all i have to do is change the graphics card and im ok once again.
I'm still on Athlon 64 X2 and 9800GT. It still hauls ass, I get 45FPS average at 1920x1200 and most things set to med-high. Hopefully Bulldozer will be a compelling reason to upgrade.
You wouldnt believe me if I told you.
the way it is working our for me is when i build a new PC i will keep it as is for 3 years then upgrade CPU,GPU then after another 2 years i start all over again, so this September its upgrade time.
