And to think that I'm still using a Q6600 (albeit overclocked to 3.2 GHz) and an 8800 GT with reasonable comfort after four years...
 


 
Wow, looking at all these nice comps here I thought I was the only one still rockin' hardware from 4 years past. Q6600, 8800GT, and 6GB of memory FTW! Although, I did pull an upgrade to Win 7 somewhere in there.

I'm still rocking my Athlon II x3 clocked at 3.1GHz.  I use it with a GTX 460.  Not big on gaming, but on occasion enjoy a few FPS games (i.e. Crysis, BF3, AvP, etc.).  I'm itching for an i7 upgrade, but not for gaming.  I plan on getting a Canon 60D so I'd be editing primarily.  Adobe CS5.5 is said to be better than Final Cut so I think I'll just stick with PC for editing and Mac for Music Production. =)

As long as you get the frames you need in the games you want to play there's no need to upgrade IMO.

Fortunately, most games on the market are quite playable, even if I do have to lower the details a bit to keep the framerates up. There's also my willingness to keep playing older games.
 
That said, I wouldn't mind some more graphics horsepower to smooth out Crysis, Rise of Flight, DCS: Black Shark, Shattered Horizon, ArmA II, and anything else where it's difficult to maintain a constant 60 FPS or more.

I've actually made my fair share of upgrades in the time I've had this system...2 GB of DDR2 to 8 GB (when DDR2 was at its cheapest), a new case (first one was a cheap mid-tower, current one's a sleek full-tower with much better airflow), several hard drives (before the Thailand flooding, thankfully), aftermarket HSF on the Q6600 to allow some decent overclocking headroom, and an X-Fi Prelude to an X-Fi Forte (which got traded for an X-Fi Titanium HD), although that's not because there was anything wrong with the Prelude so much as I wanted to move it to a secondary desktop while getting something more future-proof in terms of interface. (I still maintain an Athlon XP 3200+/2 GB DDR-400/GeForce 6800 Ultra/A7N8X-E Deluxe box for XP-era gaming and in case something happens to my flagship.) Oh, and Vista 64-bit to Win7 64-bit, thanks to getting one of those free house party packs.
 
Of all the things to upgrade, the CPU, mobo, GPU, and PSU have remained the same in these four years...

Could someone please post up some stax gear?  


Scroll a few pages back and you'll see my complicated receiver -> SRD-7/SB -> Lambda setup.
 
Tomorrow, though, that will likely all be replaced with an SRM-212 -> SR-202 if the postal services deliver as promised, and I'll post some pics to reflect that. I'd certainly love having the extra desk space over there...
