i just upgraded this year, to an r9 5900x, from my old r5 2600, still running a 1070 though.

I do video editing and more generally CPU intensive stuff on the side, as well as a lot of multitasking, so it's worth the money, in the long run at least.

I also mostly play minecraft, and factorio, so.

ryzen 5000 is a great upgrade path for those who don't want to buy into am5 yet. Very affordable. 7000 is not worth the money, unless you get a good deal, same for 9000, though you could justify it with a new motherboard and ram.

Greentext based AF for once.

Gamers on Discord are "normies"? What a take, lol

I could say I still run my 2014 (or 15, I don't remember) PC, but it's Ship of Theseus'd at this point, the only OG parts left are the CPU, PSU, case, and mobo.

4690k overclocked, with an undervolted gtx 1080. works fine. I mostly play factorio and overwatch. I played through satisfactory after 1.0 was released, and it was mostly fine but had a lot of microstutters, but apparently that's a common problem even on modern hardware.

Agreed

I do need to upgrade my CPU specifically, but that's because I've got it second hand several years ago, when it already hasn't been very good

Not an gamer but still using a PC bought when Win8 first came out

I'm upgrading my circa 2014 PC this year, plan on rolling with this fella for another decade.

Still on Sandy Lake/Fermi

When talking about hardware, if it works for you keep using it till it doesn't work. But when talking about desktop operating systems, you should be aware when it loses security updates support and try to upgrade to different one that works for you but has better security updates.

Still rocking two GTX660s in SLI, they run solitaire and lemmy alright. Even upgraded the thing to Win11 against its wishes

I usually wanted to upgrade my old PC (GTX970) 2 years ago, ended up buying a cheaper PS5 and a used MacBook for cheaper than the PC upgrade. PC still runs fine, is still in use. Also: the M1 MacBook Air is an emulation beast.
