Maybe I'm just crazy but is it just me or does anyone else have a constant ich to upgrade? I don't buy many parts new because I'm a student and don't have the money for that. Sometimes I have to stop and think "do I really need to upgrade" like I can play most games and I'm not (really) limited by my hardware but I'm always finding new things and better than what I have. Maybe I'm just insane but it's like a trap, and just making it clear I stop myself most times from spending a lot of money. I'm not dumb but just have these crazy thoughts. Anyway talk about it below if I'm crazy or you have the same feelings

I just upgraded from LGA 1150 with an i5 4590, 16gb of RAM, and all mechanical storage to X99 with a 5820k, 32gb of RAM, and all solid state storage.

 

My old PC accomplished everything I needed it to, but why the hell not. Sold off a bunch of useless shit I had lying around to afford the upgrade.

 

Was it the best idea? No, of course not.

But damn, this thing is fast af

I upgrade if I see a good deal. I saw a good deal on a ek water cooling kit on massdrop and bought it. My cpu does not even need water cooling it is an amd fx 6300. I later decided to upgrade my case because I wanted to build my system again.

It's hard to pass up a deal sometimes. I recently just got some amazing speakers for less than half price even though I didn't need upgrade my current ones.

Ya I have that all the time, just looking at different parts all the time, and always wanting better. There should be like an Upgrader's Anonymous forum section to commiserate and to go to when your about to buy an useless upgrade xD
