It's a little bit funny, my first ever computer was a HP Pavilion 1360t back in 2013. Since then, slowly upgrading over the years, from GPU, CPU, etc. I'd still been using the exact same RAM up until last year, and I still have that first harddrive in my current build. As long as you're happy with the PC, it was worth it. I personally recommend my friends to start from a pre-built and upgrade if they want a system they're happy and they're willing to take time.
