New desktop parts needs!

It all depends on your preference and financial (ir)responsibility. You can buy a new car and owe for years, but know that it "should" last you a long while.
Or you can buy an older car with cash and upgrade every couple years w/ no debt. Same idea with computers. If an i7 is old....holy cow...I still think my Core2Quad is pretty good.
Dude's on a tight budget.

Yup. I repeated that mistake so so many times. You will always be behind and unhappy.

its only too old for that $250 pricetag. now if it were a much lower price, then yah, its fine.

core2 is really old, but it was a LEAP in terms of tech. we haven't had another leap yet, so core2 still performs nicely, despite it's age.

That is the truth. I spent over 5k on my rig from start to finish and I might be able to play 4 hours a week. Kids, life, work and the gym take up almost all of my time during the day and that is with sleeping 6 hours a night.
 
I have a X6 Phenom II 1055 (Six core Proc) you can have for 20$, you just need to find a mobo for it because the one I have is kinda faulty.
 
Yea can you keep it on hold for me? I wanna find a compatible mobo for it b4 I buy. thanks man! How old is it?
