DanTheGamer11 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) 5+ years... Ram which is limited by Windows XP... a PSU which was a gift.. mobo cause it broke... CPU cause it was essentially free... forgot to vote a Hard Drive but it's fudged up... Yay! Case too cause it was on sale and mobo standoffs didn't fit the original Compaq case... Cooling system was bought open boxed from shop cause some fins were bent... Got that 7950GX2 as a prezzie... failed within two months...

Tjj226_Angel Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 About every month, but nothing big. I get small little gift cards for my PC from various people for various reasons, and I will use them to spruce up my build. For instance the last thing I got was a fan controller. For the moment I am much more concerned about looks and appeal rather than performance so it will be frequent and small upgrades for me for a while.

Bosco Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I usually upgrade at least one rig every 2 months or so, some times sooner just depends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoDG Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I'm hoping to make it until Broadwell comes out before I do any major upgrading (maybe a re-build), except for getting a new GPU. If I can make it that long I'll treat myself to the Broadwell Extreme X Series CPU and an ROG board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Unfortunately Bosco decides when I upgrade atm... Fortunately that's often enough and nice on the wallet. However, I did like to upgrade every 3-4 months before. It was addicting. haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I do a CPU/RAM/Mobo upgrade about every 3-4 years. Upgrade GPU about every 2-3 years if needed. Buy more HDD when its needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rray Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I plan on upgrading every 8-9 months, mostly sticking with mid-end parts, since going more than that would be too much for my needs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Usually for me its a New Motherboard, CPU and Video card about every 2-4 years.... I like my case so i keep that. Depending on the age and feel I replace teh Hard Drive and PSU as well... so its like a new build... Â I surf the web and read more than anyting so pretty much every rig I have is major overkill....

MJCRO Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I tend to upgrade about every 6 - 12 months with a range of componets. Mostly complete rebuilds in my case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealNeil Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 If I come into some cash and don't need it elsewhere,.......I upgrade. There is always something that needs to be tweaked or replaced on one of the PC's. It really IS an addiction. But it keeps me off of the streets,.....
