Greetings.
Why does everybody seem to think this will be outdated in two years? My last build cost about 1100 usd and the tech used was already dying, and it is still kicking with only two upgrades (GPU and RAM). As for the CPU on this rig, it will be a generation behind soon. And I decided to re-use my BFG Tech 7200GT (gag) until the DX11 cards make a solid appearance, which will likely be 2010. I see this machine lasting six or more years, and with an upgrade or two maybe more than that. Just look how long a Socket A setup has lasted.

EDIT: I just remembered that it`s an AGP card so nvm. I will get a cheap PCI-e card
