3-5 was pretty normal for a long time, in general and for myself. But I’m sitting at 7 years now, and idk if I’ll build a new one until there’s some kind of crash in prices. Might upgrade the cpu to a 5700x3d though if AMD does actually make more of those
I used to upgrade every two years. In the last decade though, it’s been 3-4 years, because hardware can keep up with new games and tech as they come.
I am glad I bought two PC’s in late 2024, though, before billionaires decided they were going to force people to rent PC’s for life. I should be set for a while, maybe even as long as we end up waiting for a crash.
40% of PC gamers plan on building an entirely new PC in the next 2 years? That seems like a lot. I thought gamers just upgraded for like 10-15 years.

Just grab a 5800x3d from Facebook marketplace, no need to buy new anymore.
Yeah they all either look like a scam or cost more than they did new…
If they don’t rerelease it, I’ll probably pick up a used 5800x(t). Still a big upgrade from my 1700
Damn, around my area they’re still selling semi cheap. Like $200 cheap.
