    Re: How often do you upgrade your PC

    I would love to upgrade my PC more often but my main stumbling block is what to do with the old components...

    I built my "current" PC in 2009, going for "bang for buck". Since then, I've mainly upgraded the hard drive into an SSD which is honestly the most amazing upgrade you can have for a computer. I'm currently in the process of "downsizing" to mITX and upgrading my processor to a 4670K from an AMD 720. I think I'll use my HD4780 graphics card until it can no longer play games at an acceptable setting but that hasn't stopped my lusting after a new one!!!

    Use to do it every 12-18 months, but my latest system was built around 2011ish and I've only updated parts if they broke.

    Personally upgrade something every 3/5 years for obvious reasons.

    It Depends On For What I Use Computer. For A Normal Gamer Like Me A Good System( I am Using Core i5 2400) Can Survivor For 2-3 years.
    Of course office work don't force me to upgrade system its the gaming that force me to upgrade.

    I agree with you. In fact if it was based on office work I don't think I'd upgrade for 3 years (if not more) :-)
    For example, I'm still running Win 7 (64-bit) and not planning to upgrade to 8 (or later version) this year. Everything is working great right now, including playing games.

    Re: How often do you upgrade your PC

    I usually upgrade roughly 2-3 years, but it's more or less deciding whether to go through with changing the components or to jsut start a new build. I don't game as much as I used to, so if anything my time frame will probably get longer and longer

    My brother, on the other hand...disposable income + heavy gaming = GPU upgrade often!

    Re: How often do you upgrade your PC

    perhaps 3 to 4 years max. just waiting for the next generation components that offers a significant performance difference. currently using sandy bridge and I'm just waiting for broadwell. Don't see any reason to go for haswell right now.

    I need to upgrade my PC, got some extra cash from work. Need to increase memory for Video card and RAM because my gaming is not that good.
