New PC hardware continues to launch at a rapid pace and, outside of the annual architecture refresh for CPUs and GPUs, there are plenty of other attractive developments in the interim.
A new version of Windows or a demanding must-play game can often be a contributing factor, or perhaps you just see something that you feel you can't do without.
I remember tinkering with my own machine frequently in the past, as I sought better performance and lower temperatures, but I haven't upgraded my Sandy Bridge PC since late 2011, and though there's plenty of exciting new hardware on the horizon, I reckon my current build will serve me well for at least a few more years.
