Its time that I upgrade. I'm running a custom built gaming system that was built back in 2003. I've since quadrupled everything and anything to get it to stay up to date.

I'm just looking for the CPU.

What can I expect to pay for a custom built gaming system? I like to fly a flight sime once in a while and with my current video card, its got too many errors so I stopped bothering with it.

Should I have mine upgraded or rebuilt or just get a new system?
 
I would start over with a new system.

By military standards a desktop life is five years and a laptop life is three years. I say you have done all that can be done!
 
i could build you one - although this seems to be more of a trend in Europe (silent), here are some pics from my latest build....

If anyone is interested in a custom silent high end PC or HTPC build let me know, I am refusing to work on dumb stuff anymore and would rather do something I like, I am sure a lot of people here can relate :)
I am close to making a small series production and just make 10 of these :)

Water cooled stuff also not a problem, i have some rather good connections to germany and can have that stuff sent (have not found any really high-end water cooled suppliers in the US) :)

So here they are

What is your current video card? There are dozens of after market video cards available today with onboard processors and memory specs that can match, if not outperform, the PC's main processor (if originally built in 2003).
