If you had to chose between holiday or a new pc what would you do?

[PepsiBandit]

If i dont spend the money on good computers then i cant work and earn the money for the holiday anyway. So there is no choice.  

 

When it comes to other hardware like my phone i cheap out and would rater use the money on a better holiday.

Vacations last once, PC hardware lasts usually a couple of years.

[RuffRuffmcgruff]

Holiday always, since my PC is pretty sweet until the 1080 gets released

[minibois]

Depends. Are we talking about a 300 euros PC upgrade vs. a vacation all through the US for example? In such a case I would take the vacation.

If the prices are equal, I would choose PC stuff.

Well one could also argue that memories or experiences from a vacation last forever. I wouldn't argue that, some people would though

There is a slight flaw in this question... and that is that it is being asked on a PC enthusiast forum...

 

For most people this would be "A better holiday" for sure. But a lot of people here would rather upgrade their hardware or buy some new gadget, ect...

 

Hope that answers your question.

My answer would depend on the situation of the day. My PCs are all quite new and great, so I have no need for a new PC. So definitely holiday.

 

However, if you asked me in like 4-5 years when upgrade itch season flares up, I'd probably choose new PC.

There are other ways to make lasting memories without going on vacation.

Yes, but when you go on vacation you usually go to a totally different place (especially if you can go to another country), so often that makes a lot of memorable experiences

[Mohenjo]

Actually, funnily enough i did this, My family is going to vegas and i asked instead of going to vegas if i can get half the money that would have been spent on me, So im getting 300 bucks for PC parts this summer  

[I need a better name]

PC, as my current one is shit and going on holidays all by yourself is boring (trust me)

[Automobili3XF]

I hate to travel, i'd choose hardware any day

[You_are_a_cunt]

Hardware, since I work enough to have no actual time for a vacation (please kill me)

[rheyL]

if your PC is still kicking those new games on very high/ultra settings

then get some nature vacation.. breathe in some fresh air

 

if not.. TIME FOR AN UPGRADE!!!! RRRAAAWWRRR!!!

[IMPERIUS]

depends on lots of factors. As things stand currently, with me being a student with a "ok" pc, money spent on a pc that will last me a long time is imo more benefitial than a nice chill week by the sea

[VinsinityKT]

My vacations would be pretty expensive. I don't cheap out much. 

[daniielrp]

Holiday. No question. 

 

Hardware is hardware, it will always be there and in a few years you'll be throwing it away and getting new stuff. 

 

Life experiences are once in a lifetime things, you can't replace or upgrade good memories.

[Paralectic]

Both

Holiday. I could buy new 4k monitor and GPU but I decided to go in Japan for few weeks instead.

While a new PC is nice it can't substitute the experience of seeing something new in a totally different place. 

But the pc will (hopefully) be around long after the vacation is over. Now if someone has a decent PC ALREADY then vacation makes more sense.

[XCalinX]

Hardware. My life  is dedicated to my PC. I don't want to get married or have children so I can spend money upgrading my PC.

[Paranoid Kami]

I never did see the point in vacations. I would never travel anywhere to be a 'tourist', but may if there's an event of some kind that I'm interested in. My vote goes towards 'hardware'.

[Bhav]

I've never enjoyed going on holidays. I'd rather buy new hardware and spend that time tinkering / benching / gaming / sleeping.

Holidays are a waste of money, and good memories shouldn't rely on monetary spending.

But the memories of a good vacation will last forever. 

I don't think I could ever buy a piece of hardware that beats the experience of seeing Angor Wat or getting hammered with the locals at a bar in Shimbashi.
