Reasons to buy a new PC

My current pc doesn't satisfy my needs as quickly and smoothly as I'd like it to. It is also past the point of upgrading.

I have become a much more demanding user since I built this thing. I have 2 displays and run programs like crazy. Just cause. It is an amd 939 based system from late 2004. I feel like my memory is ANCIENT when I look at how fast ddr3 can be. Gotta say though, my dual core kept me going pretty damn well since 2006. Really, for regular use (not gaming) I still consider this thing to be quite nice.

So yeah, basically, I want new parts to run these newfangled games at high resolutions, highest settings, and buttery smooth frame rates. Outside of gaming, I want my pc to be able to handle all the crap I'm gonna throw at it all at once without hiccuping.

ps. I am super interested in getting myself an SSD. They seem to be badass fast. Awfully expensive and little capacity though. I still want one for my OS and regular programs to reside on.
