I know we've had threads just like this before, but I had an epiphany today.
I recently upgraded from a Phenom 9550 to a 9850BE and I started to kick myself in the ass after ordering it because there's no reason I should NEED to buy a new processor, the 9550 did everything I needed from it without any problems.
I sat back and gave it some thought, though, and I realized that the reason I bought it is because I found the peak OC I can get out of my 9550 and that made me unhappy knowing I couldn't play with it any longer, now that I've found the wall on it it's not any use to me.
As I sat back I've realized all of the hardware I've bought recently I've all bought for the same reason. "I can't tweak it anymore to find more performance gains."
I've come to realize that I'm so blindly addicted to finding my hardware's absolute limit that I'm spending money I don't need to spend, and honestly I can't stop.
Someone please tell me that I'm not the only one with this crazy addiction.
