Hey Guy's
I figure it's about that time to upgrade my current machine. Tho I have not kept up with hardware in a few year's so I'm not sure what most people are using these day's. I have been reading up on here and doing some research which this site has been very useful. Anyways, just thought I'd post my current hardware and see what you guy's think I should upgrade on it.
