I regret buying an Intel 330 a month or two before the Samsung 840 came out.

It's okay though because I have one now and the Intel 330 is going into my Thinkpad.

My only regret in life is ... nothing :P

Console optimisations and how they will effect you | The difference between AMD cores and Intel cores | Memory Bus size and how it effects your VRAM usage |
How much vram do you actually need? | APUs and the future of processing | Projects: SO - here

Intel i7 5820l @ with Corsair H110 | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600Mhz | XFX Radeon R9 290 @ 1.2Ghz | Corsair 600Q | Corsair TX650 | Probably too much corsair but meh should have had a Corsair SSD and RAM | 1.3TB HDD Space | Sennheiser HD598 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Blue Snowball

Not a tech based regret but I regret spending half a decade at college studying for a bullshit qualification that I can't even use because the UK economy is on its hands and knee getting f**ked up the arse by Cameron.

Buying a pre-built PC. Buying some games on Steam I didnt like. Buying a PS2 and Dj Hero after the PS3 had been out for 1-2 years.

the one disadvantage with PC gaming, DRM prevents it, you have to be cautious and look at reviews, TB is a very good guy, as he is very in-depth in his overviews of games (PC), you should look into him

I know that feel, ran a XFX 850 watt for three and have years.

Looks much different with my current 550 watt

Are those bread ties for cable management? :blink:   Is that a CM Storm Scout? :) 

I think I regret more things I have not done.  That way I can rid myself of regrets over time. If I want to.  

Laws only govern the honest.

No regrets, love my rig, does everything i want it to and more.

 

Real regrets come from doing something you really didnt want to in the first place

and then doing it because someone pressured you or made you feel like you had to.

 

Going to school even though you don't want to, working a job because someone says you need

one not because you like the work, i.e working at futureshop instead of having your own computer 

repair business etc.

 

Don't regret things, make it worth while. You upgraded for a reason, remind yourself why.

CPU: AMD FX-8350 - Noctua NH-D14 | Asus Crosshair V Formula | 16GB Kingston HyperX | Plextor M5P Extreme 256GB SSD

I upgraded because I needed to spend cash, or lose it forever. Didn't need or want an upgrade, my 965 and 6950 did me well.
