You know for PC parts, it's okay for most of you but a poor guy like me it's just frustration.

Am on 775 socket still and I'd be happy to stay on it but I need to upgrade to a quad core, at least a Q6600 and even one of them second hand is going to fork out at £70. And then to go from a 9600gt to something decent and future proof looking at over £80 again.

Now might not sound much but ealisticly will have to spend £200 for a worthy upgrade when I have tummies to feed, bills to pay and a music studio to keep in shape (which requires hardware upgrades etc)

There was a time when I could upgrade for allot cheaper then this.
