I certainly stress a lot less, since I decided to get off the hype and upgrade train. I've got 600+ games on my Steam account that run perfectly on my PC, even though most of the hardware is 2011 vintage and the only "new" hardware in it is an SSD and an RX560.
Life is much calmer in the slow lane.
- Terr_ 6y agoYeah, although I'm getting a little nervous about failure-rates now that some core parts of my system are in the 8-10 years old range. (Basically everything but the video card and SSD.) Particularly the factory-sealed liquid-loop, which has both moving parts in a pump and gradual liquid chemical degradation to consider. On the flip-side, that particular component seems like it would be less sensitive to silicon-fabbing issues.
- KozmoNau7 6y agoMy view is that if a component fails, I can either find a second-hand replacement or buy a replacement refurb PC and move necessary components over. I can get by with just my laptop for a while, but obviously I don't need a PC for work purposes, that would change the equation.
