Bah. I wanted to upgrade my graphics card on my PC. Wait, now everything's going PCIe and I've got an AGP board. Gotta upgrade the motherboard as well. But wait... gonna need some new memory to go with that. I also need a new case as mine's a POS. For gaming, I'm also going to be in need of a more accurate mouse as the wireless one I've got isn't so hot at gaming.


Sigh... I wanted to get a new hard drive as well as my boot drive's slower than snot rolleyes.gif


So far, I'm looking at $600 if I don't get a new drive or mouse. I think the only thing out of my old system I'd be keeping is the CPU... at least I hope I'm keeping that. No need to upgrade.


It's tempting to just buy a hold-me-over video card, another 512mb of RAM and a new drive and just skip the big change until later. Of course, that just becomes a waste of money. Argh! I can't win frown.gif


Hopefully prices come down or some good deals pop up so I can upgrade on the cheap wink.gif

That's what I'm going to end up doing. Further research seems to indicate that not even my old cpu will work with the new motherboard. That means a full system.


Now, it's playing the waiting game. I'll piece it together myself unless someone comes along with a great deal that I can upgrade later. We'll see how that goes.
