No, the most I'm looking to spend is about $500...really not enough to really upgrade every component, just either the video card (on which I'd like to go no lower than an nvidia 6800) or the CPU/mobo. (Sorry, forgot to mention how much I was looking to spend)

As for the parts lasting me three years, remember, I'm only just now getting impatient with my GeForce3. I realize every part I get now will almost certainly be on its last legs 3 years from now (relative to what the market looks like). It's much easier for me to go big now (and again when I finish upgrading the rest within the year) and live with it for a few years than make a bunch of small, cheap upgrades every year.
