    Default Get a seedbox this year or new computer? Help

    So as the title states should I get a seedbox or a new computer this year

    So here's alittle about my current computer well its an lga775 quad core, with an ssd and about 20tb of storage so im pretty set there I already have the cooler, hdds, drives, case and psu, all I would need to change is mb, ram, cpu and possibly a gpu.

    Now the idea of the seedbox i currently had one all this year all my sites have at least a 5tb buffer. I normally spend about 800-1k on a box in a calendar year so my question to all of you is BOX OR COMPUTER?

    Thank you in advance and please tell my why or why not you think I should do either option.

    Because you already have pretty healthy buffers (5TB is huge on What, but not that much on HDBits for example) I think you should invest in your computer, but still keep a very cheap seedbox for security reasons. The best computer can't protect you from that.
    I don't now your specific setup concerning mb, ram and cpu, but I think the combination is your best option.
    Spend about 200 on a seedbox/VPS and invest in your computer, because I think you should still keep a certain level of security.

    If you need help feel free to PM me, but keep in mind that asking for an invite is not considered help.

    Man if I had $800-$1000 I would invest in anything else but a seedbox, I pay about $200 a year and I think that's enough to get me by in every single tracker(I belong to almost 40). Be honest with yourself a buffer of 5 TB anywhere is purely there for bragging rights, it's completely unnecessary. I say go with either a new computer(although you have a pretty good setup already) or those new parts you mentioned. 32 GB of ram wouldn't hurt

    That's a tough one, but it does seem that you may be buying more seedbox than you need. I pay $420 yearly for a 365GB 100mbit xirvik box, and I think even that is an indulgence.

    Through in another couple hundred of spare cash to the money you save by paring down the seedbox, and you'll have a very capable system. Especially if you buy something like a 2500k and overclock it. Mine's at 4.6GHz without breaking a sweat.
