    yep indefinately, though after a while it's pretty likely that you will have replaced every single part in the thing and you might as well call it a new PC. you will probably want to do a fresh windows istal very often as well.

    Sure, new hardware comes out alot so having the best wouldn't hurt your system.

    You can keep upgrading your PC without harm :P

    rawr, nah i mean, like buying new parts when you like to do that, thats something i like. As some parts of my computer are really outdated now but some are really good for this moment, and i find that it's not worth the money to buy a whole new.

    yeah, just swap out all necessary parts. Should not be an issue.

    better yet think of it this way, you are building new, but already bought a few parts a while back which you wish to use.

    Yeh, you can do that. My friend's PC was originally Windows 95, but he's upgraded it so much that there's enough parts to make another 5 PC's.

    yeah, you can keeping upgrading as long as you have the hardware and its driver. But is it worth it? It would cost you a fortune if you upgrade a hardware very time a newer version is out.

    I suppose if you sell the old parts on ebay you wont loose as much, the shop that I buy my parts from it has this program where you get a 15% discout if you trade in the part its going to be replacing
