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

here my dad still using gtx 1050ti and if I say that's obsolete his response is, "so are you"

Upgrade when you can’t play what you want at the settings you want something better will always be around the corner

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.

I think videos like this one really show that Jay is interested in helping his viewers, not in satisfying the needs of manufacturers.
No manufacturer would support this message, because they want people to buy as much of the newest stuff as they can.
Thank you for being honest and showing you're primarily loyal to your audience.

It's only time to upgrade when your current system can no longer do what ever it is you mainly do at a level your happy with

When to upgrade: when you can’t play the games you want comfortably anymore.

The fact that I could double all the specs of my computer without breaking bank was a good indicator I needed an upgrade.

Something is only obsolete if it is completely incapable of doing what you want it to do at an acceptable level

When Jay mentioned that 8 year old FX 8350 and DDR3, it was like he was talking to me personally.

I'm still on a Ryzen 2600 and a 1070Ti and have never thought of upgrading cuz it does all the things I want to do.

A pc is never obsolete, because it all depends on the software/games you are trying to use and your definition of playable

If we both throw our PCs off a cliff, mine is just as fast as yours.

[jamesyi]

I came to know if my PC is obsolete.

But, instead, I learned a valuable life lesson. No lie.

Basically when ur computer is telling u “let me die bro” is when u should consider upgrading

[ZOMBIESKTBOARD]

When thinking about upgrading ask yourself these questions
1. Does my current build run what i want to run
2. If i upgrade will i see any improvements that matter to me
3. What sacrifices am i willing to deal with to stick to my budget

people on the newegg discord server are actually pretty nice, i posted my pc build/written specs, and the replies back surprised me. they suggested the parts that i should upgrade, but they also told me i should only upgrade if i feel its necessary, they didnt try and categorize my pc as obsolete, poor, , or not to their liking. they left out all their personal feelings about the build, so huge respect to the newegg discord community

I so agree with you. I build my own computer and I love it since it does what I want.
