Your thinking is flawed.

Indeed, there is so much fail to spending money properly as opposed to continuously throwing thousands of dollars a year out a window.

no man u dont buy a computer to upgrade down the road. its a waste of money and the increase in performace u get from doing that isnt worth it when u can just wait a a year or two and build a whole new computer which is 1000 times more cost efficent for performance. u build a computer. you keep it. then u build a whole new one. everytime u replace a part ur throwing the money u spend for that out the window. for instance say u bought a 5200 for 150$, and a few years later u bought a phenom x 4 for 200$. that is 350$ in cpu in a short time. instead why not just keep the 5200 for a few more years and just upgrade to a corei14 in a few more years instead of being a future proof idiot wasiting money on parts for performance increases that arent that significant.

Apparently $70 for adequate current gaming, then +$70 for 30% increase on FPS for adequate gaming is poor ROI to you.

ur forgetting to mention that fact that u upgrade ur graphic too.. that performance didnt come from a cpu alone. cpu and graphics card.

I didn't upgrade my GPU, that performance is coming strictly from a CPU upgrade if I chose.

u were dumb to buy a inadiquate cpu in the first place then. u going cheap on the cpu to begin with was a waste of money and now the money u speent on the cpu initially is thrown out the window. GJ

Did you know how much a 5200+ x2 cost back then?

Did you know how much i paid for my single core Athlon 3500+?

The hilarious stupidity via you is priceless.

The equivalent to the $70 CPU I can buy now would have cost me 169.99 CANADIAN at that point and time, pre taxes.

it's now 69.99

So .... you know, I definitely got owned, right?

I definitely screwed up big time.

nah man i dont remember prices. but i remmeber when dual cores first came out when amd was the king of performance they had these really fast single core cpus. do u remember what they were called i forgot? they were like the last genereation of amd single cores. and i remeber the amd first dual cores cost a shit ton compared to pendum d 805, 830, 820, and 840.
