How many times do you upgrade PC Parts ?

I only got my first pc in 2010 and since then have gone through a fair bit of hardware.
3x mobo, 3x case, 4gpu's, 3cpu's,3psu's, 2sets ram, 5monitors, 2 cpu air and 3 closed loop coolers, 3mouse's, 7keyboard's, 4 headset and 2 surround setups. Plus all the little things we forget about lol.
I just bought things when i found something i liked more than what i had at the time and a lot was down to boredom as i'm stuck in the house most of the time so upgrading/ building my rig is a hobby as it is with a lot of other's. I used it all to learn as much as i could too but now i've slowed down on the buying and plan to upgrade as and when needed. Well maybe :P
I still have a small list of upgrades needed / wanted though.

You must be rolling in money there laugh out loud

And same reason or differant as you currently unemployed due to health reasons its a hobbie I enjoy to be honest I'm the type of person at Christmas if I get something electricly I take the dam thing a part then put it back to normal haha

I was always really good with my hands, Making things with wood or building cars. I had to be out busy doing something and have always loved learning so i need something to keep my mind active while being stuck indoors. I started off just wanting a rig for gaming so payed a shop to build me one but wasn't happy with the result. Thats where the slippery began :P
I was the opposite to you as me and electricals have never mixed, My mrs had to tell me how to wire a plug but that all changed once i got a pc and now can't get enough of it.

As long as the hobbie keeps you hands going and your mind thinking that's good

Yeah man It beats monging out to daytime tv and so on enit.

True man true feck just sitting there like a zombie

I feel keeping my mind occupied helps with some issues

As I say time on your hands if not used turns to thinking time so I like to fix crap I even take my pc apart re build it


I have always loved how things work down to the old big TVs


It's buzzing as well when you rebuild a PC and its slightly better

I always dread powering on after i've upgraded something and build up to it lol. The feeling of relief when it boots is wicked though.
