I can't see myself changing from my i7 920 for quite some time - it is more than fast enough for my uses.

Correct. Didn't realise this was an english lesson! My bad though... I'm usually a bit better with punctuation. Ish.
No real point to this thread really, I just wanted to see what people were going to do when SB comes out. I've seen a lot of people with i7 rigs (in THEIR sigs) that are saying they will be upgrading to SB when it comes out so I wanna see just HOW many people have too much money

Well I'm sure there are/were people that upgraded from a GTX 480 to a GTX 580, so some people may go from an i7 to a SB. Although as I understand it the initial SB wont be as good as the 1366 i7 platform, since the initial SB will be the replacement for the 1156 platform. Maybe they can upgrade to the enthusiast version when that's released, who knows what will have happened in that time.
Still if I'm honest I don't like the title of this thread. Making it sound wrong to upgrade just because you don't see the point. I'm sure people have their reasons and it might not always be purely based on performance. I for example just like having new stuff to play with. It's the reason I change my mobile phone at the end of each contract to a new expensive phone that has features I wont use.
Just to balance I'd be equally annoyed by a thread titled "The 'too stupid to get a good enough job to be able to easily afford to get all the latest technology' test"

Sorry if it makes it sound like that to you. But I also never said I don't see the point as I would love to have 'more money than sense' as to me this isn't an offensive phrase... it's a complementary phrase to me as it means your rich!
I know what it's like to want to upgrade. I've just upgraded to my rig below and in spite of not having much money left I am looking at other things to upgrade it with!!
The title is by NO MEANS meant offensively. (c)
