I was wondering when people consider themselves to have a new PC. Technically I’ve had the same PC for close to 20 years now, but every part’s been upgraded several times over.

I figure everyone’s got a different mind about it. For me, I’d have to say when all of the big three—CPU, GPU, mobo—have completed a phase, my brain thinks of the previous setup as “the old PC”.

    Yeah that’s an odd one. Because I’ve used old parts to build secondary PCs and they were basically my old PC restored. So at some point I got a new PC but it never felt like it lol.

    I think as well if I got a new case on top of a new mobo, that constant visual feedback of new. It’d be my new PC but with some of the old parts in it still (most)
