1 last upgrade for me this summer then stopping.
Yeah, I suppose a lot of my bitterness stems from that, when i was about 13 I saved my ARSE off and on a paper round - maybe £20-30 if i'm doing 2 rounds a week took me ages as you can imagine, then eventually got the most kickass system I could afford, the next year i could've probably picked it up for about 1/4 of the price and it was practically obsolete.

That's exactly right, If it pushed peak out all the time it'd overload everything and it'd go pop, a PSU whether 250w or 250kw will only push out what is requested/needed.

That's one thing I'm considering going mad on on the Upgrade, I want a HDTV for my room for the xbox360/upscaling DVD player so I'm considering a 27" HDTV and just a 17" for the desk with a switch since sitting 5' from a 27" TV would be annoying/painful
