I was wondering when you guys generally upgrade your computer? I bought my kit below about 2 1/2 years ago and it is starting to get to the point where it chugs just a little on the latest games. I was thinking I would keep it for anothe 9 months or so.
What do you do with old PCs?
Here are my specs (not copied from my order form honest!)
