Thinking about assembling a new PC after 10 years

Hello! It's been a long time.

I'm writing this blog post from the machine I assembled 10 years ago. It's still alive and kicking as it has had it's share of upgrades throughout the years. But it's time for me to build a new one! Yehey!

Here is my current setup:

• Intel Q6600 2.4GHz Quad Core (Passively watercooled with a Zalman Reserator)
• MSI P5K-E Wifi motherboard
• 8GB DDR2 memory
• GeForce GTX 680 video card (Passively watercooled with a Zalman Reserator. Yes! Two of them in separate loops.)
• Seasonic X650 (I think) 80 Plus Gold PSU
• Vertex 3 256GB SSD 
• Dell U3011 monitor

What I use it for:

• Facebook (Of course!)
• Web browsing / Work - Since most of my work is mostly over the web.
• Light gaming (ahem!... Diablo 3, Civilization, This War Of Mine, XCOM)
• Photo editing with Adobe Lightroom

What I want to build my next machine for:

• VR gaming with HTC Vive
• 1 or virtual machines for experimenting
• Basically the same as before

And so the hunt begins! Stay tuned. :)
