and what, you'll be doing it until the computer reached its maximum possible capacity?
sorry for that statement...it's just that thinking is a repetitive thinking that'll last for several years or so..
And that's why it didn't last me more than 3 months before I decided on my purchases? But I guess, if a person really wants a budget system that they won't be happy with in the end. May as well just get something pre-built from BestBuy then.

Thank you. Go ahead and go with a cheaper system, if you want to upgrade again in another year. My suggestion is to up your cost by at least another $200, that way you can get something that will be better in the long run and at the same time won't take months on end to save the extra cash. Selling your current PC could make for a portion of that $200. When I built mine I was short cashed for the final part which was the GTX 570 - sold my old system for $150 (minus the monitor and power supply) and got the card three days later. Sure I didn't have a PC for a few days but who cares?
If you have to go the pre-built way (which it looks like you want), I would stay away from Dell. You can get a much nicer system here:
