Right I have bought the customPC magazine since 2006 and this is what prices were like here in the UK for PC parts and showing you why it is so easy to upgrade now.

Artic pro 7 CPU cooler for a pentuim 4 £20.00 and now for a Duo2Core they are £11.95
Connect 3D Radeon X1800XT GFX card £217 and now for a XFX 8800GTS 512mb you can get them for £150
Corsair PC6400C4 1MB you paid £90 and now you can get them for £35
AMD atlon 64 AM2 3500 for £150 and for that now you can get a Q6600 quad core or a E8400 for the same price.

All I am trying to say is how much PC parts have come down in price or stayed the same price for 3 years

It so much easier now to upgrade.
