When do you next plan to upgrade your Desktop PC?
A: Considering I just put the build together less than 6 months ago, I'll go with 6 months to a year before any major upgrades. CPU would be first to get upgraded. Anyone wanna donate a spare FX-8350? thumb.gif

What do you look for when selecting a processor upgrade?
A: Price to performance ratio. And of course how much of an upgrade it really is compared to what I have now.

When do you next plan to upgrade your Desktop PC?
A: Within the next year since I just upgraded this summer. Of course, I am looking to build an HTPC.

What do you look for when selecting a processor upgrade?
A: Performance in the tasks I use it for and cost. If the performance gains are marginal and cost is higher, I'll go for the cheaper option.

When do you next plan to upgrade your Desktop PC?
Within a year, depends on Steamroller performance.

What do you look for when selecting a processor upgrade?
Price and performance. More specifically the $200 processor that gives me the most performance in computing and gaming. Being gaming second to computing.
Will last until 2015!
