About that time again...

Looking to possibly upgrade the PC again. Just starting to look at parts etc, just wanted to get an idea from the guru's if it makes sense to do it now, or is there a reason to wait a few months etc.

If now is a good time, what would you suggest.

I'm looking to spend around $1500 or so.

I'll get the specs when I get home. I honestly don't remember all of them. Its not a bad computer by any stretch. The main reason for the upgrade is Suzy wanted to give her mom a new computer and I offered mine up and get my a sweet upgrade instead

Silk, I do not have the time to go looking for parts just now... but my question is what are you looking to purchase with that 1500$? Is that all just for the tower? If so, then it will be quite the monster....

Got my new pc with basically the above specs on Friday. I had EasyTarget assemble and load the ops for me. Easy's new office space is much bigger than before and he's said he'd like to have another get together there. I know we're not really all playing the same thing right now, but it's a good air conditioned space close to restaurants, etc.

Well, we all KNOW that now that we're all older, FOOD and A/C are THE main requirements!

I need to get back in touch with him. How is Easy and his family doing? How many kids do they have now? What has he been up to? New thread maybe?
