upgrade?

I add new leds every week, notably red ones when I need more speed.

41% right now

once every 10 years, though I've basically violated this rule this time around, as the computer I've been using is now like 14 years old.

>adding leds for speed instead of speed holes
ngmi

once every 3-5 years on average although my current machine is 6 years old and i have no plans to upgrade at current prices

whenever new gpu and cpu released. because i can

every months and all of them so I can brag about my specs online

this. I see no point in upgrading given that
>I don't play new games
>I don't use bloated software (in my personal hardware)
>I don't want pozzed hardware
>I don't want my pc to look like a christmas tree
I may go for server/workstation hardware in a distant future

I have 3 PCs because I upgrade too often!!!

>current build made end of 2013
>upgrade cpu cooler from stock to a D15 mind 2014
>SSD for OS + a couple games early 2015
>extra harddrive for various non-gaming media 2015
>double ram 2016
>replace GPU because old one failed early 2018
>second media drive 2018
>big SSD for gaymes 2019
>2 200mm fans as ones that came with case were failing / already broken 2021
I upgrade as needed

every week, I literally buy anything my youtuber overlords tells me to buy.

imagine upgrading youre parts once a year like a stupid boomer

not often because I'm a poor cnut but if I had cash even probably not often why upgrade if u has a 3070 even 3060 hell if I had a 2080rtx I wouldn't even need to upgrade people waste so much cash on components they'll never use to its full potential, just to be the coolerest. A i9400F and rtx2080, 16GB ram, 2tb nvme is more than enuf mb Idk don't even care some rando msi, 700 watt

I don't upgrade often. My 2013 build stayed mostly the same until 2018, at which point I moved my boot drive to an SSD and added another 4TB HDD. In 2020 I did a bunch of upgrades. First I switched the 7870 for a 1070, cause it no longer performed the way I expected it to in the games I was playing. Then I upgraded the Mobo/CPU and RAM, cause some games stuttered a bit too much with the 3570k and I started rendering video on a somewhat regular basis. I also happened upon a great deal so it was a no brainer.

I thought my 2700x 1080Ti would last me a decade or so. Don't know when I'll upgrade. Don't even game anymore. It's good enough for everything else. Microshit Pluton scares me so I will probably buy the best, last AMD CPU that doesn't have that shit. Do I get the 5950x or wait for the next gen which might have it...

I use a macbook, so...

never, i just buy more disks for storage

Once every ten years, except for parts like hard drives - I swapped out an old SATA 1 drive for a new SSD 7 years ago, and my boot times went from two minutes to 30 seconds. I either wait for good deals on top tier hardware, or when I think my system is feeling old.

I've had the same parts for past 5 years since i first built my computer. I want to upgrade but got no burn money.

I still have my dell tower from 2012. The joose will not get my money when my pc still works.
