Hi All
It might seems strange i put this tread up. And the OcUk shop will not like this.
Firstly, for the past several week i have been very sick. Not body sickness but MENTAL sickness. I have been reading treads everywhere about upgrading my system. As you can see from my signature I bought this system over 8 months ago around 1500 pounds (not the BW speakers).
At the time i bought it, i was moving on from my PIII 733 which was 5 yrs old and really can not handle anything besides regular office work. That was all i need for school. For gamming, i have a ps2 which i enjoy playing it. However, the system had its age and it was very reasonable to get a new system, just for faster offfice and school work and a little of entertaining. So far so good.
I enjoy play CS source, fry cry, doom3 and the game i was not able to play in my old system. This system is quite well balance in terms of performance but i went around 500 over the budget but that is quite acceptable.
Then several weeks ago, i bought a game "Oblivion". I relised that the system i had can not handle it within playable level (ok resuloution and HDR). I can not accept this, i feel like my current system is out of date already. And having read through these post around OCUk i even feel worse. I feel like i already pay too much and was not happy with it. Maybe upgrade my GFX should make me happy.
So i think my 7800gt (in my 1500 system), should be retired. I decide to get a x1900xt and sold my 7800gt in almost half price (to original.) Now, i can play Oblivion is very nice resolution. Happy? Not really. I ask myself why should i pay around 200 quids for a game. Worse i feel so guilty of spending too much on something i do not really use it.
Now, the new SLI system is comming out. I also feel that why i choose the x1900xt over the 7900GTX just in case i want to change my MB and CPU. I just kill my upgrade path for some game. This is going nowhere, i more i upgrade i more i feel worse.
I believe there are many people having this kind of problem with their mind. So please i really want to hear from anyone who can get over this. I need some help.
