Anyone else feel like this?

[Edgar R. Zakarian]

I somewhat WANT my PC hardware to die, so I can have an excuse and clear conscience to upgrade >.>

 

It runs all the games at low-high settings depending on the game / Crossfire support.

But just wondering how much faster everything would be on a new hardware set. 6700k & 1070 gtx

 

 

Bought all parts Second-hand 3 years ago, and they JUST KEEP ON GOING.

"Solutions":

• Water
• Hammer
• Let it "slip" off a high building or surface.

 

Or you know, sell the parts and use the money to buy a new system that way you save some money

They will last for a few more years, i would but an i7 7700K when they come out and a GTX1070 (or RX490 if this comes out it might be good as well)

Just buy a cat. That will teach your hardware.

 

Seriously, have you ever seen a glass survive a day on the counter when the cat's around?

My guess is you'll feel just as guilty still if you knowingly kill it yourself... just sell it!

I feel like that with my monitors and tv's. I want my dells to die so I have an excuse to buy another ultrawide and I want my TV's to die so I have an excuse to buy a projector

Problem solved....

 

Anyway. Would say you can start with a GPU upgrade first. Meanwhile you can wait till Kaby/Zen comes and either go with new gen stuff if it's worth it or go current gen Intel for lower price.

I don't think you can set a nuclear explosion small enough to kill just the PC...

If my hardware died, I'd be fucked. I have no money to replace any of the expensive components.

Then bring it somewhere, so that you can watch big fireworks...

Well, simply wanting better performance seems to me like a valid excuse to upgrade your PC, assuming you can afford it without making too many compromises on other things.

Linus doesn't pay you enough??? 

[sgloux3470]

Sort of.  I have no pressing need to upgrade my CPU, but I think when Zen drops I'll do it anyway.  Going to run some benchmarks before/after to see what tangible performance gains there are.

I'm in the same boat. If I were to lose hardware now, I'd be completely fucked unless warranty saved my ass. Like I could replace the mobo alone, if I could find a good Z97 board second hand, and I might even be able to replace the CPU with like a 4690k or 4790k if I absolutely had to. But if like my loop leaked all over the place or I lost my GPU? Yeah, I'd be without a decent PC for a long time.

 

Unemployment is hell.

I could buy more if I had to but I really don't want to... our currency is still terrible so for every $200 or so of actual product you buy, you flush another $100 down the toilet for no reason.

This: sell parts.  Make money.  That way you defray the cost of new parts and maybe your parts go to loving new home.  ?

Why is your money weak?  Any facts or theories?

I prefer bunnies myself.  They're just fluffy and adorable with 0% evil.  ?

Chinchillas are preferential if I have to choose Rodentia.

Wouldn't having oil make your money good?
