How often does gamers normally build new pc’s?
I usually run my builds for 4-6 years, I don’t play a lot of AAA games, but I would not think that I’m in that small a minority. If gamers normally make new builds every 5 year, that fits the finding of 40% considering making a new build in the next 2 years.
I was building them about every 18mo to 2yrs and then stopped noticing any good reason to built my C2D in 2006 upgraded to an i5 6600K when I needed the C2D for a server in 2015 and finally built my current 7950X3D in 2023 so I could use the 6600K as a HTPC/couch gaming rig. I’ll be good for a while now. I guess I’ll start thinking about it in 2030.
I’m a 5 yr upgrade cycle, well was. Not sure there will be another pc purchase in my future. I do have a few old laptops to use for media, and my old rig in case something happens to this one
