Your Dream PC would cost how much????!!!!!

I mostly agree with this statement however, if you are careful you can build a system that has some proofing against obsolescence. I managed to build my system about 8 months ago and it is still perfectly capable and fairly top of the line. Sure it isn't DDR3 capable but whatever...

and how much did you pay? If it was over 5 grand i bet I could build a similar system today for 1/2 the price...

The PC that I just threw together for about 1200 will should still be perfectly viable in 12 months...

My latest PC should hold me over for a while and even further with upgrades along the way. I still have an PCIe slot available, my mobo is quad core ready and will hold 32 gigs of memory. When the 8800GTX cards take their final price drop I will probably get a second one provided I can match them perfectly and then at that point I will load vista and consider a quad core.

And thats where its at. Shop smart with an eye for future upgrades. Pay a little now, a little later, and you can keep up with the performance curve without much effort.
