When do you next plan to upgrade your Desktop PC?
A: I like to upgrade all the time, if I can afford it I go for it, I try to upgrade something atleast once every 3 months

What do you look for when selecting a processor upgrade?
A: Price is very important, it has to be competitive and good value for performance, also better performance I can get the happier I am, no one wants to upgrade for 1% performance increase. Brand does not matter if price and performance is right, graphics don't normally come into play as I like to have a nice gpu that can max out everything

When do you next plan to upgrade your Desktop PC?
A: I just did 2 minor upgrades to my 2 builds recently (peripheral and aio wc). Minor upgrades happen sporadically. Major upgrades happen every few years. Unless something happens I will be upgrading my cpu/mb in 1-1.5 years... which in all honesty is too long for me!

What do you look for when selecting a processor upgrade?
A: I look at performance first and foremost! Who cares if something looks nice or even if it's cheap if it doesn't perform. Next I'll look at price and weigh the two against each other (and v.s. what I actually need). After those main 2 points everything else falls where it may and for the most part just fits together.
