Given how the base unit appears to be holding up longer than I expected, my spending has switched to accessories that I'd normally wait for a new computer before getting. With the Cherry switches now being opened up for more people to include in products there are some nice mechanical keyboards out there now! Just got a new mouse as well.. damn you new GPU waiting period

Aye - I can't see any reason to upgrade the CPU et al at all.

Last year saw my first home build for a looong time (there was an Athlon 64 involved last time round, that's how long it's been), and I have to say it's massively easier than it used to be to self build. No more master/slave settings on hard drives, no more dip switches to fiddle with on the motherboard, it was pretty damn easy, especially given the proliferation of great YouTube videos showing me how to do some of the more involved bits.

Big picture mode in Steam makes it relatively easy to make an SFF under the telly gaming PC too
