I keep getting this:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /home/techpowerup/www/forums/includes/functions_search.php on line 197

when trying to make a thread entitled: Good system to plan buying next October
in System Builders' Advice forum...

I intend changing / upgrading desktop in system specs not laptop.

I've been itching to upgrade my graphics card for long now... what held me back (apart from I7) was that I have to purchase a better PSU.

But I'm unsure whether within 5 months time it'd be worth for me to just upgrade graphics & PSU... or whether to sell my tower and go for a totally new build with I7, DDR3, SLI mobo, SSD drives etc...

I've got €1500 saved so far (just for my techie-needs :D) it's just I don't want to waste half of them to upgrade if by spending them all I'd get a totally zoom-machine... :)

What advice?

:confused:
