How do you guys get over your I shoulda waited blues?

I built my E6600 8800gtx system probably 4-5 months ago in a time where I didnt really need a "new computer"

I spent rougly 1600, I kept my HDD/OS/Opticals/monitors everything else new.

I opted to spend extra for the E6600 instead of the 6420 and the GTX over the GTS for obvious reasons. To me it was an extra 200 bucks for probably 20-30FPS in some games.

I wish I would have done a corsair modular PSU vs my Antec Truepower although I cant complain because it hasnt failed me yet.

Come to November 1st 2007, I wish I would order my system today: Id get a 6750(better) and a 8800GT or two.

I wasnt willing to lose the 8800gtx performance to the GTS for price comparision, but I would SLI for the same price of 1 8800gtx.

How do you cope with our situations?

Thanks,
Michael
 
I wish I would have held off two days on buying my Antec 900 case. I bought it sunday for 119.99 with free shiping. Now with a mail in rebate it's down to 79.99......:(
 
Suicide hotline? How depressed are you exactly? The internet might not be the best place for real life help.
 
Exactly. I mean, if you would of bought a GTS and a slower CPU, you would of been complaining as to why didn't you spend the extra money for the boost in performance in newer games like COD4 or Crysis.
What I'm trying to say is, we are human beens, and a so, we will never be satisfied with what we have, EVER. It's just our nature.
Tip of advice, be happy with what you have now. I wish I had the extra money a few months back and would of spend the extra cash on a GTX instead of a GTS(640mb), specially for games like COD4 what I'm not able to apply any AA, and that sucks. As said before, every time you think about how cheap and good things are now, look back at all the enjoyment you had riping those games apart.:p lol.
 
LOL,
It's the same for a lot of us. I put together the system in my sig in March.
Only 8 months ago I paid,
e6400 $235, today I could get a q6600 for $40 more.
2gig (1GB X 2) G.skill $169, today the same kit goes for $59.99.
eVGA 7600GT $109, today the same gpu is $74.99

It's just the way it goes. I am still happy with the system, sure I could build a much better system now for the same money, but that's the way it will always be. If the system performs well and does what you need it to do? Be happy and enjoy it.
