So as you can see some of my parts are almost 2 1/2 years old, yet I see little reason to upgrade them since I still get excellent performance in every game I play. Thus I suppose I partly subscribe to MasterP’s theory, but I am not as naive as him to assume that upgrading graphics cards once a year is idiotic. Well maybe once a year is too often. Maybe once every 2 years.
Also note MasterP’s inconsistencies (just for fun)

Spend $1500-2000 every 2 years
