Other How long has it been since your last build?

And there I was just about to invite you to the Ivybridge booze up.

Dancing girls too sad at the thought. They don't like to see me envious either, bless 'em.

Nice upgrade though, i'm trying to employ something called patience. Not something that sits well with me.

 

Is my Sandybridge setup invited to the Ivy party? I haven't actually touched mine since updating to a 780ti...it's pretty desperately due an upgrade, but I might just get a laptop or prebuilt with component pricing as it is.

 

My last complete scratch build was just over 7 years ago with my parents desktop. I could argue that my gaming rig has simply been updated multiple times since I originally built it just over 10 years ago in Feb 2008 as I've not started completely over since then (I moved everything into the current case in 2012, before buying my current Haswell parts and transplanting them into the same case), but that's about as fair as Trigger claiming to have used the same broom for a couple of decades despite multiple handle and brush replacements...

Since the mobo/cpu upgrade my own rig had an 840 evo installed in late 2013, otherwise it's been the same apart from more storage and a GPU swap. Last time I tinkered with anything was my parents PC by swapping out the questionable Clarkdale mobo with the current (and so far faultless) Skylake mobo that currently runs that PC.
