I get awesome performance out of my machine already and never had any complaint, I use my pc mainly for browsing, word documents etc. as well as hardcore gaming (Crysis 3, Battlefield 3, Crysis 2, Crysis 1, Call of Duty, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, you get the drift etc.)
Everything I throw at my pc it just handles really well, all games max out and i get minimum 40/50 fps
I know sandy bridge and ivy bridge supercede my i7 as well as the new range of graphics cards available from nvidia and amd, but the thing is I just see no reason to upgrade it at all,
With the new games coming out, splinter cell, watch dogs, battlefield 4, I get the feeling my machine is more than adequate for gaming purposes
Do I really need to upgrade for the sake of having a "new" model. Seems kind of silly.
Opinions please
