Have you put off replacing or upgrading your computer?
If so, why?
I'm due for a new rig, but I found that my current can do everything I throw at it adequately to the point I don't see a real reason to upgrade/replace. I don't play much games, and the one game I was going to upgrade for was patched into garbage by its developers so I stopped playing. I was going to retain my Windows 7 License, so the abomination that is Windows 8 wasn't going to play a role. I got a new video card a few months back that cut my video conversion times by a third. I just don't see the need anymore.
Sadly though, I already bought a new case as it was on sale. Maybe if the i7 3770k drops below $300 I'll bite the bullet, but I just don't see the need.
