I remembered why I can't stick with this hobby anymore...everything is just so damn expensive. The 3 main components in my sig ( CPU,MB,RAM ) set me back about $650 last year...So I figure I might as well upgrade my CPU, MB and GPU now...so I go to newegg...and everything is so damn expensive! Holy cow! I haven't really been keeping up with hardware, but my god...I usually get the best stuff at the time, but I think i'm going to have to settle for mid-range now :( An A64 4400 and 7800GTX in my cart already totals close to $1k!!!! I still wanted to get a new case, cooling crap and a HDD.....so that closes the deal at close to $1,400....*Sigh*
 
The rig in your sig still looks pretty damn good(quite a bit better than the best machine I have, at least).
 
Yeah...I don't think its worth the $$ to upgrade right now, but having a native resolution of 1680x1050 my X800XT does choke in CoD2... :(
 
I bought a 6600GTOC less than 12 months ago. At the time it was the #2 card. Now its way down the ladder.
 
I think i'm gonna hold off until Unreal 2k7 comes out and just upgrade everything...Future of PC games doesn't look too bright until that point anyways.
 
I'm in the same boat man...I have a system in build stages waiting a PSU, vid and cpu.

I think I'll wait a week and hope the price on the vid card comes down a little, but I plan on getting the best I can for $1100 then. I'm shooting for a 4400X2 and a 7800GTX 512, but who knows.
 
just upgrade the processor to like a 4000+. for now high-end cpus all are close to eachother in speed in my opinion. why play at native resolution, 1024x768 looks good when playing on lcds.
