Just joking because it happened to me. I was finally able to make a current build with all the bells and whistles after years of being the bottom pic. Then it didn't take long for the new PC to be a little outdated, and I reverted to making less sophisticated solutions to keep it current.

Ah, I see. I've always had PCs without top tier components and I've still used them for many years as is, by only upgrading to SSDs and installing higher capacity HDDs when the old ones died. For instance, half of my last PC since circa 2014 was half of giveaway parts with an Intel Quad CPU (not even i series), 8GB of RAM and a GTS250.

I hope that this one I built with flagship AMD CPU and GPU and 64GB or RAM remains as my main PC as long as its parts last, with minimal ugrades, if any. Although I have to admit that I chose the AM5 socket with upgradability in mind.

I usualy settle for little regarding computers but maybe now I get hooked up to running videogame at ultra settings, but I don't even have o want a 4K display, so who knows. Time will tell.

Yes, I'm aware I'm doing a long serious reply to a joke, lol.

Edit: typos

It feels like specs haven't been increasing lately as rapidly as they used to, so I bet yours will last for a good while.

Long serious replies to jokes are part of why I enjoy Lemmy, friend. Lol
