So what's everyone up to upgrades 'n such wise lately? I finally upgraded my GPU, I think I mentioned that last time. A 7870 2GB edition, runs amazing for GW2 and BF3. I do however need more HDD space. I've all but used up the 2 TB in my Desktop.

Get an SSD.

I'm still a bit wary of SSD's. I'll definitely get one, but not until the 256GB ones drop below $150ish.

Why are you weary? I've been using the one in my laptop for a year now and no problems.

My laptop is also basicly my desktop (since I don't own a desktop) and its used 3-4 hours a day during the week, and maybe 3-6 hours a day on the weekend.

And I've easily clocked 2000 hours on it.

You should be a bit weary of Sandforce controllers.. Try to stick to like Marvell controllers, you loose some speed, but from what ive seen you get more "durability" and longevity. Crucial M4s seem to be prevalent SSD, I have one, good stuff.

So, I may have just spent the last 45 minutes making a "dream machine" on Newegg.

Spoiler

Yes, it's an AMD system. Blow me.

[IwannaWAFFLE]

Looks more like a good-great red themed machine..
not truly BEAST, but if thats what you like.. For me it seems AMD bulldozer hasnt really been even close to as good as Phenoms can be overclocked.. you OC a Phenom x6 and you can beat a x8 bulldozer.. kinda sad, and its not a large OC..(Im thinking on terms of scores like Cinebench)

It's really fun. I've been messing with one at work (Best Buy) For the past 3 days. Might pick up an RT Tablet eventually.

Widows 8 looks pretty cool, to bad the $20 upgrade glitch went away!
