nice. my computer has a dual socket board though so in multithreaded tasks it's a lot more powerful. but if you don't need a bunch of multicore your setup is better, because you can overclock and stuff. i can't. 

I’m mostly gaming and doing some software development on it so I don’t need multithreaded performance that much.

Got the x5670 running at 4GHz

My build is a cool 2 years old. Time files when you're having fun. 2600 serving me well.

the CPU is going on 4 years now. Ryzen 1600.

Motherboard: B450 Steel Legend, so not all that old.

Case: Fractal Arc Midi R2 - The last Arc Midi came out around 2013, so it's probably the oldest part.

Calling mine 4-6 years old based off the CPU, but it's technically been mine for both less than but also more than a year. I shuffle parts around a lot, the CPU and mobo I got this year (used CPU and refurbished mobo). I've had newer stuff, and if I had the budget now I'd probably go for a 10th gen Intel chip or maybe one of the Zen 3 ones, but my 6950X still runs everything playably (I'd get... more fps in Star Citizen with a new CPU, that's the only game I play that would be affected and it's still perfectly playable).

I built my rig this year, upgrading from my Ryzen 5 1600 rig I built back in 2017. PSU is the oldest part I have in here, which is from 2018.

RGB is very overrated.

That's a hard question to anwser by itself, so I'll go by part

 

CPU - Sandy Bridge Xeon (2011), bought in 2016

Motherboard - Gigabyte H61, bought in 2011

RAM - Corsair DDR3, bought in 2011

GPU - GTX 1080 Ti, bought early October this year.

CPU Cooler - NH-C14S, bought September this year.

Case - Local brand Eagle Warrior Stealth, with exactly the same tooling as the Silverstone RL06/Fara R1, but worse front panel airflow.

PSU - Phanteks AMP! 550W (2020), bought September this year.

Storage - WD RE+ 1TB HDD (2015), Toshiba TR150 (2015), Sandisk SSD PLUS (2017), Crucial MX500 (2020)

Mouse - Razer Viper Mini, bought this year.

Keyboard - Rosewill Apollo RK9100, 2013.

Monitor - LG 27UK650-W 4K 27", bought this year.

Drawing Tablet - Huion H430P, bought this year.

 

So most of my stuff is quite recent, but the oldest part is 9+ years old (and still doing great btw :D)

 

Averaging out part age, I've come up with an average age of about 3 years, and most of the 9 year old stuff will be replaced next year.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here
