For me it's more that it decouples the upgrade cycle a ton and lets me amoritize keeping my PC up to date over the years. My current PC setup is worth like $8-11k depending on how you price it. But there are some parts in there still (Drives) from 2008. I'd probbably still have monitors from 2012 but there was a hella sale in 2019 which let me upgrade them. My 2nd gpu to drive 4 of my 5 monitors is still a 2080ti from 2017/2018ish.
