if I'm strapped for cash but could achieve it with a sell of old hardware then upgrading, I'd do that. otherwise just buy the part and stick it in, still don't see my CPU needing a change for a few years and I'm not missing out on anything revolutionary with new mobos/cpus in respect to how much it would cost to overhaul
