see no reason to upgrade a PC every 2-3 years.
Like as in upgrading a component everyone few years? Sure.
Updating the entire rig everything few years? For the average user, very little point. It used to be you literally had to, to play them newest games. Around 00’s I’d say. Games are way more backward compatible nowadays. I had a rig from 2012, to which I updated GPU to a 1060 6gb in 2016. Now I updated the entire rig last year, except for the GPU, which I plan to updated in a few months when 5070/5060ti comes out.
For the average gamer I don’t think there’s really much need to update more than every five years and that’s still being pretty fresh. I can still play on the 1060, even Marvels runs although… eh. My GPU is clearly the bottleneck currently.
With a 5060/5070 I hope to manage till 2030 at least.

Similar story. The only upgrades I made to my 2014 desktop were a 1TB SSD and a used RTX2070 to play BG3 in 2023. I don’t care much for the latest multiplayer shoot em ups with simulated leg hair growth, but I can play most other titles from the past year at the highest graphical settings.
