I have a spreadsheet tracking all my for-myself builds from 2000. I used to average a new build (or upgrade) every 20 months. (it was my only hobby... I'm pretty boring)

Last 10 years it's been more like every 36 months. But that's after having "the itch" for at least a year.

I'm 40 months into this build, and an upgrade is hardly worth it. Maybe next year when it's been a whole 2 generations CPU/GPU?

Heh... I started building in the late-90's with a custom 486-sx. Went from that to a Pentium 100, then to an AMD-K6-II at 233, then to another AMD I forget... then to an i5-2500K in 2011. That build hit the sweet spot, and with just graphics card, memory and drive upgrades stayed roughly the same until I bought this -7-10700K last year... that's now got 4Tb of nVME and 8tb of SSD, no spinning rust, and a 3070. I would like to upgrade the graphics card as I've got 2x 4K monitors and gaming is a bit sluggish at times on 4K, but... I just can't justify the upgrade price to a graphics card that could improve. So, I'll wait another gen, and probably get either a 4080 when the 5x series is out, or wait until the 5x series 5070-eqivalent is at a reasonable price. Other than increasing storage, I don't see any other demands for CPU or GPU coming this console generation...
