I do like that aspect of it, being able to swap out parts whenever you're ready to. I skimped out on the graphics card as well. It's an older high end card (about 2-3 years old). It was on double clearance for less than $100 marked down from over $300. I figured whenever I have the cash, I'll get a better one. I can't complain though because this is the first time ever I've been able to play games at ULTRA settings. I used to play on low and if I was lucky, medium.

And I just swapped out the CD drive from my old machine as well as the RAM since there was nothing wrong with them. lol gotta save where you can, ya know?
