New PC build for longevity. TL;DR Build below, gaming (currently 1920x1200) what would you do differently to be able to swap in the latest and greatest while keeping the core components for as long as possible? EDIT: Put that ^ there instead of at the bottom...

Cooling, or OCZ. However, for a little bit more, I believe its $20 at the moment, you can get the Corsair 750TX, which will handle SLI or xfire fine. For build longevity, go with the 750TX, its a little bit more now, but will save you a lot should you ever...

in advance for any help, it is much appreciated.. I'm looking to build a quiet gaming system with longevity in mind. I have never build a computer from scratch, but I'm comfortable swapping out / adding components to existing machines. I clearly have a few...

Longevity in the new build. Hello everyone. I am interested in your valuable opinions about a new computer I am planing to build. My last build is now more than six years old. It is Pentium 4 based and while a heavy facelift and some minor cosmetic changes...

1000 Build, Need help with compatibility and longevity. So I've put together a gaming build based on a few of the threads from the past 2 days. I need help with how compatible the parts I've listed are, if there are any problems with them, or any suggestions...

price premium. Thanks for the reply. Was rather expecting a few more replies but hey it was another build post and hardly a cutting edge build. I decided to take a chance on the 8600, maily because of longevity of use rather than current proformance. I'm...

saving a little more money if it wouldn't screw the build quality up. Thanks for your input in advance! . Does anyone see any major problem with this build (besides the lack of a DVD drive)? Specially incompatibility/quality/reliability issues? APPROXIMATE...

in a year or two, or will Intel continue to dominate the high end? For socket longevity, if I were building a gamer, I think I would choose AM3, but if I were building a number cruncher, I'd probably go LGA1366. I don't think I'd build a new LGA775 any more....
