My current build is nearly seven years old (some upgrades are newer) and has a 980ti in it, think I’m doing okay.

You don’t even need a top-end build for that; a midrange PC should be able to comfortably last two generations. Or more, depending on the games you play.

I wouldn’t feel the urge to upgrade even if I bought a low end pc.

The first PC owner has enough money left over to leap frog the second PC owner when a new gen of CPUs comes out

I installed the last upgrade, my cpu, back in february or so
im hoping to use this build through my MBA, ~3-4 years with NO more upgrades

When you build the best pc you can buy and don’t have the urge to upgrade for no reason

My pc is a mid teir prebuilt, I’ve been slowly upgrading it as time and money permits. In a few months, I’ll probably replace the rtx 3050 it currently has with an rtx 4070. I’ve upgraded the cpu cooler from a crappy stock intel cooler to some random ass Corsair Aio I found at Walmart, upgraded the RAM from 8gb to 24gb, and added an extra terabyte of storage so far. Definitely a project I’m spending hundreds of bucks on.

That’s where I’m at. I built a water cooled PC about a year and a half ago and am still very happy with it. It doesn’t hurt it’s an i7 and 4090.

The first thing I did after getting my 4090 was clock in 200 hours into the new dwarf fortress. Moving from ascii to pixel graphics was a huge jump so I figured I needed an upgrade.

Nah, bang for buck… more frequent upgrades for less cost. The price jump to enthusiast-tier is enormous.

Even better: when you build a good enough PC that runs everything you want without overspending and you save money

Bought a 2080 5 years ago, Will buy the 5080 when it comes out.
