I don’t think so. I’ve always bought /really good/ motherboards and then adequate CPUs etc to abuse. And upgrade later.

- bryanlarsen 4y agoI've always considered the upgrade route when purchasing motherboards, but I've never done so over the 32 years I've owned PC's. In the beginning things were moving too fast but lately it was because I was really lucky picking my CPU 10 years ago. Sandy Bridge was the last 25%/generation improvement from Intel, we've had 10%/generation improvement ever since. So that Sandy Bridge has held up surprisingly well. Everything but the CPU & MoBo has upgraded - 5 SSD's, 3 GPU's, RAM, monitor, keyboard, even the case, but it's still the original CPU & MoBo. This year I'll complete the Ship of Theseus and replace the CPU & MoBo and whatever else has to get dragged along (aka RAM).
