Every 2 years or so i buy something new or replace something that was reaching its end.. But my current PC still has parts from an old 2007 PC... not many though.
It may be theseus ship by now, but.. (dates and compatibility could be off, this is just memory)
CPU
2007 Phenom II 1100T,
2022 R5 3600XT
GPU (oh boy)
2007 nv iGPU 6000 or 5000
2008 nv 9800gt (died reaching 1 year + 1 week)
2009 nv 250 (until it died)
2010 nv 560ti (until it died)
2012 nv 9800gt (same old 2008 gpu, took it to a furnance and after that worked for + 1.5 years or so)
2014 nv igpu
2019 rd 560ti (still working, not installed)
2023 rd 6700xt
The rest is just details... some disc replacement, a new ssd, fan upgrades... well, of course, changing a PS that died...
It was nearly 0.5 to 1 upgrade per year when i was buying intel, now its around 0.25... maybe less
Fun thing, two of my gpus died while running the same game: stalker clear sky... i still blame nvidia
