There's no "rule" saying you have to use any pc for x amount of time

Get what you can afford and make the best of it. Parts are fairly good when it comes to degradation, and you can always upgrade things here and there.

It really depends on your standards of what's playable. It all really comes down to your monitor. if you're only driving a 1080p60hz monitor you're not going to have to upgrade very often, but if you're trying to drive 1440p144hz or 4k60+hz you're gonna be upgrading more often

If you have money it can be and it maybe depend on how much you can spend for computer. 

What i want to ask is which one is better cost performance

I've got a PC with a 10 year old xeon and a GTX 750 ti. it's really old and still in use. The cost of the components you buy does not have any real bearing on how long you can or should use it for.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

that true i think now the graphic card is good enough to play for 1080p60hz so maybe that player dont need to change graphic card often.

how about Video editing and changing CPU.

That completely depends on you. We don't know what will make a cheaper pc vs more expensive system more worth it for you.

 

I still use a system I've had for over 7-8 years for a plex server, no it's not super powerful but it works perfectly fine.

 

Get what you can afford, and make the best out of it. What you get and what you should spend is dependent on your requirements

Game world changing so fast, it can play 60fps today but in 2-3 years that would drop half.

Video editing is relatively stable, depends on the resolution and how quick you like to render the final output.

You need higher performance cpu if you want to process higher resolution, but i think people won't be jumping to 8k soon.

So current 4k capable cpu would last a long time.
