Should I...

Should I try to build a cheap pc that I can upgrade over time or should I try to make a pretty good pc that doesent need to get upgraded for a bit? Im not sure since I haven't created a PC yet.

Buy with large upgrading room, ie don't skimp on your motherboard. Get a chipset you know will support upcoming processors. Consider SLI as an upgrade option. It's better to be flexible and ready for the future.

EDIT:

Let me clarify, I don't mean buy all cheap parts, and upgrade later. I mean spend where it counts the most, ie motherboard, powersupply (parts things you are least likely to upgrade). For instance, buy a decent PSU so you won't have to upgrade it also if you want a new video card or add more harddrives later.

For me I suggest to buy a PC that will be good enough for the coming 5 years, because in each month there is a new item that gets modern. So if I buy just a regular new PC this month, the next month there will be something better than it and so on.

So I always try to buy a PC that can server me very well to the next 5 years.

Can anyone suggest me a very good but cheap motherboard with upgrading ability for the next few years???
