Some bad jew jew you have going on there...
This same system is over 4 years old. Most people would have had 2-3 computers during this time. Rather than spent $2000 every two years I find it better to just invest in a $4000 system that lasts at least 6 years. Honestly this cpu should still hold good for me at least another 3 years so that is good. The parts that get invested in over time can be moved over to a new system. Ironically most of the cost in this computer is now in the storage system.
