1. Within the next 6th months. I will probably build a new system with my tax return.

2. Price and Performance. My next full build will probably be ITX based.

When do you next plan to upgrade your Desktop PC?
A: Probably sometime within the next 6 months. I plan on moving to an m-atx / itx platform.

What do you look for when selecting a processor upgrade?
A: Price, and performance according to my needs. I look for a processor that will handle whatever I plan to throw at it, but not break the bank at the same time. My next build for example, will most likely be an htpc/light gaming rig in an itx/m-atx form factor that doubles as my LAN rig when I don't want to haul my main rig (full tower, atx) around, and will probably use an APU instead of a cpu + discrete gpu.

A: Within the next month, 3 months, 6 months, Other (please specify)

Next 3 months: A new monitor and GPU! Tired of running my 1366 x768 res TV haha!
Next 6 months: Depending on financial + work status, a complete platform upgrade and maybe an SSD to act as a boot drive.

What do you look for when selecting a processor upgrade?
A: (Choose: Price, Performance, Graphics Capability, Brand, Other (please specify)

As a teenager, price and power efficiency of the CPU is imperative to me. Otherwise, I'm impartial to both AMD and Intel.
