    When to upgrade:
    1. When it stop working
    2. Not meeting minimum requirements of new game/software you want to use
    3. You just realize you are rich AF

    My PC is 8 years old (i7-4930k). The only thing I've done is upgrade the RAM to 32GB, Installed an SSD and a 1080ti. It runs all games at max or high detail settings. People get sucked in by marketing hype and benchmark results. The reality is, most old PC's if paired with enough RAM and a GPU will still feel fast.

      This. I can still run all my games at 60 fps at the resolution and settings I am happy with, so there is no need for me to upgrade just yet. Probably the few things I would upgrade would really mean I have to upgrade basically everything since I am using an old ass FX series cpu and mobo and my ram is still ddr3, so I would need to upgrade pretty much everything, including my AIO watercooling since the bracket needed for AM4 sockets is no longer manufactured and coolermaster lied about it being widely available.

      Well done. My theory is dont upgrade until my computer is not performing as I want or I can do something appreciably better with the upgrade than I can now. I wasnt happy with my computer a couple years ago. I had a I5 with a gtx 970. It wasnt fast enough but played games fine, I upgraded everything but the GPU and I was happy as hell with my computer. I saw no reason for the 1000s cards as it stlll wouldnt let me play at 4k like I wanted, even the 2000 cards wouldnt unless I was going 2080 TI and if I have a 970, I think its fair to judge what I think of that kind of money for a GPU. Now I figure I can get 4 or 5 years out the 3080 and thats an acceptable value to me, so if its ever for sale I'll buy one. Still not willing to buy AMD, dont trust the drivers, but my patience could get the best of me if AMD is actually available.

I am trying to get back into it. After this I will wait as my current store bought is playing Battlefield 1, 4, & 5 and Titianfall well enough. Keep up the good work, not everybody has a big budget.

    I built my first computer earlier this year having no clue what I was doing. I bought what I could afford that was in stock and I'm proud of what I was able to put together not because I have the most high end gamer rig money can buy but because I jumped into the deep end of a knowledge base I was not comfortable with and learned how to do something new. I was able to take that knowledge and do a fresh install on an old Dell pc I used in my workshop for cnc projects that I had forgotten the password for and had for 2 years been a pile of e waste in the garage and is now back to running. If my new rig ever can't run what I need it to run I can upgrade it but I'm happy with what I have

    I realise this video is at least a couple of years old, but the message remains. The model numbers and specs change, but the story and advice are constant.
    It reminds me of the Horsepower Wars of the 60s and 70s. Cars have always triggered competitiveness in their owners, but those decades, I think, peaked out the rivalries, with FORU divisions at GM (two of which have disappeared since) fought Ford, Chrysler, and American Motors and one another for bragging rights at drag strips - and public thouroughfares - all oveer North America.
    To a degree, designing extra performance in products benefits customers as well as the sales of the manufacturers, but, as you pointed out, advances are sometimes miniscule and even negatively effective.
    I personally am trying the ols hotrodder's trick, combining old parts from several sources, to try to squeeze more performance out of a beater.

    For anyone reading this one year post-upload, I was considering upgrading my AMD system from a 1800x to a 5xxx series cpu and from an R9 390 to a 6xxx range gpu. Looking at what I needed to do to have this new cpu supported on my old motherboard, I found out getting my motherboard up to speed on compatibility by updating BIOS already improved my performance drastically, even visually, to an extent that I'm now considering not upgrading my cpu at all for now and am now seeing if I can do the same magic as to not needing a new gpu either. I may get a new case first, as I've noticed my old build struggles more over high temperatures than anything.

I’ve read about it and apparently sometimes when you do an update you MoBo can bug out or it can cause you’re pc to think it only has 1 core, so to fix it you should try updating bios, but I’ve tried to look up how to do that and can’t figure it out, would you be able to help me out please?

    I went from an i5 6400, 1050 2GB, 8GB DDR3 setup in an Acer case to a 5600X, 3070 OC, 32GB DDR4 art piece. My original PC was more than great at playing the games I grew up with, but with the new console generation not being appealing at all, and my newfound interest in VR due to Half-Life Alyx, I have to admit that there was a part of me that felt like I would have been settling for "weak" hardware if I had gotten a 3600X, 16GB, and some GPU barely predating RTX when I nearly gave up on getting the new stuff due to shortages. I blame wanting the absolute perfect experience with Half-Life Alyx after waiting over a decade for a new entry; it drove me insane trying to find those parts to the point where when I finally obtained the GPU after initially wanting a 3060 Ti instead, I felt as if a 3070 wasn't even going to be able to handle it properly despite it being more powerful than one of the best cards at the time of the game's release. It took more rewiring than expected to get me to calm down from that mindset.
    It's fun to get caught up in the hype of the new stuff, but don't let it hold you back from continuing to enjoy the build that gave you happiness in the time that you've had it.

    Watching this a year later because its finally “my time” to upgrade. The first PC i built for myself (with a few good friends’ help) is a Ryzen 1700x, Asus ROG STRIX board, Corsair Vengeance 2666 ram (16gb), EVGA 1080 FTW2, Corsair H100i 240mm liquid cooler, Corsair 850w gold rated psu, inside a Corsair Obsidian 570x case. At the time, 5ish years ago, this was a pretty big boy system that mercilessly and efficiently donkey-punched anything that came its way. Its starting to show its age now, though. Currently in the component-ordering phase of my second build, which will be a Ryzen 5800x, 3080 10gb, Asus board, and much more ram and storage. This one will also be getting a 360mm top-mount radiator and a new Corsair iCue 5000x case. Looking forward to feeling the leap in technology! Great video and great explanation.

    I am a new comer to the pc build "community" and started following you only this year to get at least some knowledge of how to do stuff since I am going to spend basically a month worth of income to build my first system. Before I used to game on consoles and on my laptop and when I started looking at build suggestions a lot of people were always afraid of losing fps or not be able to play on ultra.. I mean I get it but I've played at 30 fps and medium settings basically all my life and still enjoyed the crap out of my games so I just really appreciate that you've put this video out. Anyway now I'll just wait december to see my Ryzen 5600X arrive and maybe, just maybe, a Radeon 6800XT. Keep up the great work! Love from Italy

      @@bradhaines3142 i don't think 8c matter just because of the consoles. R5 5600x is just fine. The computing matters in case of CPU.
      GPU wise for higher resolutions/frames, higher end GPUs may be required.
      I purchased R7 3700x because of the consoles. But I play at 1080p. So an RTX 2060 is enough for me.
      The consoles don't utilise entire 8c for gaming. So a 6c fast CPU like i5 10600k or a R5 5600x is more than great. Instead invest the money in higher end GPU.

      @@bradhaines3142 You're absolutely right, but I was reffering mainly to gaming. If you're trying to get a high end system that is meant ONLY for gaming and nothing else, then I'd say the average consumer is just going to get a 5600x. The difference for gaming between that and the other CPUs is pretty minimal for the most part, it's like the difference between getting a 3080 and 3090. Sure, it's significant, but not significant enough to warrant the price uplift for someone who isn't a pro e-sports player, in my opinion.
