Hello, I'm just curious. Is anybody here in this forum still using the same PC from 8 years ago? This means, you build or buy your PC 8 years ago and are still using it with no upgrades whatsoever. So, the same specs 8 years ago up until now and you didn't change anything. If there is, what are your specs and how does it perform in gaming? The reason that I ask this is because I want to build a PC that is still good even 10 years from now with no upgrades. So, I need some proof or story from some of you guys who owned a PC 8-10 years ago and still use it up until now with no upgrades.

PCs just don't die on me so i have a couple of old PCs i built/bought 10+ years ago.

None of them can run the latest and greatest.

I have a FX 8120 + Radeon HD 6970 machine from 2011 which can run The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt and Tales of Arise just fine for example.

But a lot of games like Balfour's  Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077 or Forza Horizon 5 are completely unplayable.
