Thread: Upgrade or Build new?
lately been thinking of putting money main desktop computer either upgrading bit or building brand new , use old 1 else, server maybe, or htpc old tv.
have (from 2008 ):

barebone

one, been thinking bit better video card, possibly mess around cuda , such, guess better gaming option nice (at least native-linux or wine games).
use bit more ram.
however, should upgrade motherboard , cpu well? , go sandybreadth?
think?
no point in buying whole new case, , if peripherals optical drives, hard drives, etc fine keep too. upgrade graphics card , if find perfromance still not you'd motherboard bundle has cpu & ram included. if can keep power consumption down enough should able keep current power supply. in many cases newer cpu require less power, new ivy bridge chips amazing energy saving.
