how often do you guys update your build?
i try to build it so i can use it for at least 5 years
previous build was a 2500k + 8600gt first then an upgrade tom6970 and i used that for 4.5 years.
for me, its the best because where i live everything is 5x more expensive so whenever i got the chance to buy shit in the us i take it.
what about you?

That's a man.
That's a man.
How often do you upgrade your build tho
>>/lgbt/
Still a man. Also, to answer your question, my build right now is 3.5 years old
I've almost had mine for 2 years and already feel like upgrading even thought it's a decent PC for me

Found the faggot
post dick and boipucci
4ish years for the big overhaul. gfx now and then.
Is this you user?
nah
Come on, don't lie. On the Internet, no one knows you're a transfaggot. At least not if you post pics of yourself like a fucking retard.
I stole the pics from r/crossdressing
She looks good tho
my current build is overkill, i plan to use it for at least 5-6 years

Why would you replace a computer outright, ever? Ship of Theseus is the real winner here.

>upgrade RAM
>new HDDs

>upgrade GPU
repeat over a period of five years forever
Current build is 8 years old. Might migrate to Ryzen to stop microstuttering in some titles.
Current build 4 years old
No reason to upgrade anything so far
whats your build rn? just being curious
i fried the cpu when i was messing around overclocking the 2500k, fucked up by bending some pins. So gg mobo and gg cpu. So i said fuck it and upgraded everything and the spare parts like rams and hdd from that pc were used for my brothers build.
The worst prt is that I didnt even need to OC. Pc was working fine. But sometimes thats how you learn; by breaking stuff.
Holy shit your retarded.
Build is 5 years old now, my GPU is really starting to show it's age in vidya but the CPU is holding up.
>Phenom X4 940
>GTX 285
>2x2GB DDR2 800
>64GB SSD(got it for free some years ago)
It's a fine computer still. Would keep it around if it wasn't for some gaming and latency when recording direct feed from instruments.
I replace parts when they break.
>Bent pins trying to overclock a 2500K
How the fuck did you manage that? It's a pure BIOS overclock. You don't even need to open the fucking case.

Yes you are.
iirc, i moved the evo 212 a little too much by accident
yeah im stupid
I built my first pc about five years ago with an fx6350 and hd7850. I just recently upgraded to a 6600K and a 1070. It was actually started because i really wanted a new case (cheaped out my fist time around), and figured it would be a good time to upgrade the rest of the components.
I will say that i was very surprised by the performance i got out that five year old machine that wasn't even top of the line when it was new.
my build is 2010-2015 all my parts except my mouse, keyboard and ram are all second hand from friends and online listings
no plan on upgrading, except maybe a 144hz or a 2k monitor
5 years usually. Just got 6 or so years out of my x4 640 build now on a 1600
Damn anons I just realized my build is ~4 years old...
stay trolled newfag
I sued to update my internals every two years or so untill 2012 when I got a 3570k. after that I've only updated my GPU untill this march.Then I jumped off the Intel train to 1800x. Though I was AMD before the 3570k with Athlon Thunderbird, then Athlon XP, phenom X4 940BE.
Current build is 1800X@3,9GHz Asus C6H, 16 gigs of DDR4 at 3200 and GTX 1080TI. Might go with Vega if it equals or beats the 1080TI but performance comes first.

My previous build, which I replaced last autumn, was serving me for 6 years, with i5-750, p55m-ud2 motherboard, RAM one-time upgraded from 4 to 8gb and GPU changed once, after 3 years of usge, from GTX 460 to GTX 660. PC that I was using before it, was running for around 3 years.
Best answer for "how often should I upgrade my PC" is "when current one no longer suit your needs". That i5 was very good CPU for 6 years, I expect that i7-6700k in new one will serve me for another 6 years or at least 3.
