Well i'm due an upgrade too soon. I've toyed with building another complete system. I currently have a 2.4 gig quad in there and 4 gig of 1800mhz ram. I looked at the fastest I7's and I honestly think by just getting the 3 gig L775 quad and 8 gig of ram my pc will be great for another 3 years. My reason for not wanting to go I7 is quite simple. I think we are really starting to get to a law of diminishing returns with pc's at the moment and so my current platform will be fine until the next generation comes along. Just my twopenneth. My current 280 gtx grafix card is by no means cutting edge but it still plays all the games on my 27" screen. Saying that if you can build a complete PC for about £50 more then go for it. I tend to spend £250 on my mobos alone so thats why i like to keep me pc's running a while!!
