I realized my main desktop PC, which is also my gaming PC, is well over 5 years old. It's still handling most games quite well, and for something I built for around $600 I can't complain at all.
The basics:
- AMD Quad-core 3.0ghz
- ATI HD5700 video card
- 8GB RAM
- SSD for mostly OS and most used apps
- HDD for data and everything else
I really haven't done much for upgrades aside from the SSD, which was a great improvement. I'm thinking about putting together a Mini-ITX system, but definitely in no kind of rush to do another build.
How long has your current PC lasted, and do you have any plans to replace?
