How old is your PC? Your daily driver, not some relic you got in your attic
8 years here, runs like a charm even for some mid-range gaymen. i7 3820/GTX 670. only upgrade ever was i added an ssd. thinking about maybe buying a (used) graphics card and keeping it for another 5 years or more. first one i built myself, pretty amazed how great it still runs
Purchased in late 2015 from "Cowboom" aka Best Buy's no-defunct refurb online-only store.
Upgraded to SSD, otherwise performance is fine. I just battle dust/fan noise and the F key top pops off occasionally.

It's been nine years since I did a full rebuild with an Intel Core i5-750/GTX 260/4GB DDR3. A couple years ago I added an SSD and a GTX 550 Ti. I mostly lost interest in gaming so it hasn't been so bad, but I will probably build a new PC before Christmas.

It's a piecemeal computer that's been patchwork updated over the years... board and cpu are i5-2500 but I have an array in it that's well over a decade now. X-Fi and Claro+ in it... 1070 is pretty new.

Still completely fine as a daily driver.
I have a Dell XT3 with a i5 2k series. 8gb of ram, 480gb ssd. It has LTE/GPS capability, finger print reader, touch screen that can swivel around and fold like a tablet, comes with a pen. I've beat the shit out of it, I've had it for 3+ years and it came off a ATT service truck for God knows how long.

Im not a child, so im not gonna bother upgrading. all the computer parts are made for gamers with autism
1 year. X1 that i bought a year ago to finally make the meme leap to ssd
I had an expensive Asus mobo but could never get mine to run stable at anything higher than 3.2Ghz using sane voltages. It would boot at 3.6 but crashed when running prime95 no matter how high Vcore was set.
I ran it at 3.2Ghz from 2008 to 2014 when I built a new computer to replace it.
>12GB RAM
how much fucking slots does it have?
8gb module+4GB module, it's mismatched but it works.
9 year old HP 6930p. Maxed out processor, memory 8gb and an SSD with Win 10. Run dual monitors from docking station at client site, mostly email and ppt work. Dusted off just for this gig bc client didn't supply me with a machine.

Decided to reassemble the parts from the 2010 build into a second case but replaced the storage and upgraded to Phenom II x6 and RX 560 4GB/16CU, installed OpenSUSE; 2015 build now spends most of its time in standby
My daily driver is a pc with a ryzen 7 1700, 16 gigs of ram and a gtx 1070.
It's made of parts from that were created and put into it in different periods of time, so it has no real date of age.
The oldest parts are around 2-3 years though.

Pretty good if you add an SSD and up the ram to 6GB max.
In the PCMCIA slot I have an SD card reader.
Cheap af too, can be bought from ebay or amazon for less than $100 usually.
Motherboard, RAM, CPU, and CPU cooler are all ~4 months old.
Everything else goes back a few years at least. Some SSDs and HDDs several years old, at least from 2012-2015.

I have a couple of these in addition to . One is used in garage to run a 2d cutter, Ubuntu plus ssd, can't recall what memory.
2014 11 inch MBA, running Windows 7 most of the time. i5, 4GB RAM, 256GB SSD.
Still works like a charm. Has its share of dumb issues, but I've got fuck all reason to buy a new machine.
Replaced two Acer laptops, one of which is stone dead (i5, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD, ran Windows 8, but it just flat doesn't turn on anymore, scavenged the disk and ram to put in the other), the other is held together with duct-tape and was slow as shit anyway (was a cheapo $250 11 inch machine -- AMD C-60, 2GB RAM and a 120GB HDD, shipped with Windows 7, can't remember what it's got on it now (Fedora?), but it's got the 4GB module from the other machine in it now (didn't have a second slot) and 500GB disk).
both of those Acer machines are the only computers I've ever owned that lasted less than 3 years of active use
the other machines I've used day to day are a 2009 Dell laptop (C2D, 4GB RAM, 120GB HDD, still works), a 2001 iBook (G3, 192MB RAM, 10GB HDD, ran OS9.2 and 10.1 for ages, ended up with 10.4 on it in the end, gone forever), and a 2001 Dell laptop (PIII, 512MB RAM, 10GB HDD, ran XP for the majority of its life, shipped with Windows 2000, sadly gone -- I only really used the iBook because this thing died)
I need the single core performance of intel, and my previous CPU died and I needed an immediate replacement, the 9700k had JUST released and my local microcenter had a CPU+Motherboard bundle available that night.
My computer wasn't even dead 6 hours before I had it back up and running with a new platform.
2600k from 2012
Went from 4 to 8 to 16gb ram
Had 1 tb from the start but now I have a 500gig SSD for most things and hd as deep storage.
Currently running a gtx960 originally it was 4850x2 Wich died eventually.
X58 system
10 yrs. I just replace my daily driver: i7-860, 9800GTX, 16G ddr3. Stuck an SSD in 4 yrs ago. Decided I wanted to get back into gaming. If it wasn't for that I would have never upgraded.
i5-3570k at oc24/7 at 4.6ghz with a gtx 1060. It still runs games at 1200p over 60fps. i dont think ill be replacing the cpu for another 2-3years. Nothing bottlenecks it
Almost 3 years now. The one I had before this one was 10 years old and it couldn't even play youtube videos at 720p properly.
I upgrade things whenever I need them, it's not like I bought all components at the same time. The oldest part is either the HDD or the CPU. I don't even remember when I bought the HDD, but the CPU is a 4790K that I got in 2014. The newest part is the graphics card, a 2080 Ti which I got like a month or 2 ago.

surprisingly capable gaming rig actually
mobo + cpu + case + ram + monitor all bought in dec 2009
original harddrive was a seagate barracuda 1tb before it died in 2015. blessing in disguise that it forced me to bought ssd and install win 10. everything went so smooth after that and made me cancel whole platform upgrade plan and instead only upgrade the gpu
it had an HD 5850 before, upgraded to gtx 970 only to realize the CPU is bottlenecking so hard, so i sold the 970 and bought the 950
If you can afford the intern tax, it's an obviously better CPU for various situations, especially those relying on single core preformance or AVX performance.
>the intern tax,
Intel
You're in desperate need of a CPU/platform upgrade.
ikr, planning to go am4 with ryzen7 3xxx and m.2 pcie ssd too when they release. or fuck it i might get the APU one and sold the 950
>How old is your PC?
About 6-7 years. Only added HDDs and SSDs, and a new GPU some 3-4 years ago. I was going to buy a new computer, but it simply isn't worth it since my old computer is too good
>or fuck it i might get the APU
The current 2400G APU is already a good deal faster than your X4 965. I can only imagine a 3000 series APU will stretch that even further.

gtx 970
16 gb ddr3 (corsair)
Intel Core i5 4460 @ 3.20GHz
its a solid computer, might buy some new components. worried about it being able to handle some VR games
The newest core component in my machine is the GPU from 2012.
2,5
I7-6950x
32gb ram 3000mhz
Gtx titan x (maxwell)
Also while I'm here, do I need a new cpu? I've always had a weird feeling that i'm being bottlenecked by my cpu, but I don't know enough about computers to substantiate it.
You do need a new CPU, but for VR you really need both GPU and CPU upgrades
i figured i'd upgrade my gpu next, but i want to go all in and get a really high end one. i'll probably get one for myself as a graduation gift. but in the mean time i figure even just upgrading my cpu will make a difference. is it useless to upgrade my cpu until i upgrade my gpu?
My 4930K machine has a busted BIOS during a ME_Cleaner gone wrong episode
Yet to buy a SPI flasher to fix it though
Dual e5-2670 16gb and a 1070
I disagree, that generation of hardware have no Spectre patch(Retpoline doesn't count as it requires the program itself to be written with it)
ryzen 1600, 6gb 1060 and 24 gigs of ram :(
I'm not gonna make it bros
While it's not useless, it'll certainly be your biggest bottleneck.
It's 4 core, 4 thread, and locked at 3.2Ghz with turbo to 3.4Ghz
A 9700k for example has 8 cores, 8 threads, and is unlocked, but at stock runs at 3.6Ghz, but has a turbo that goes up to 4.6Ghz on all cores, and 4.9Ghz on 1 core. And it can be OC'd to do 5Ghz on all cores if you have the cooling.
So while a new GPU will help with low CPU use games by providing more GPU horsepower, there will be many games where you're being bottlenecked by your CPU.
Six years old. 2012 MBP 15-inch Non-Retina bought new in 2013.

Its served me damn well. Lots of photo editing in OSX and a bit of gaming in W7. With a bit of optimizing, fairly modern games look good and are completely playable. The GPU overclock has been super stable (see: custom fan curves), and with the right balancing between GPU and CPU activity, I can avoid thermal throttling almost completely with this machine. OSX 10.8 is starting to show its age at this point; but otherwise this machine has been absolutely superb. And in case you were wondering, this will be the last Apple product I buy new.

Why not update and then use ME_Cleaner?
