Used to do a new build every 2 years or so. I can't justify that anymore as there are no real performance gains.
Instead of paying Intel I used the funds to pay nVidia with more rapid GPU upgrades. nVidia was very smart to roll out products in such a way to extract the maximum amount of money from people looking for a reason to spend money on their gaming machine.
As it stands I still don't see myself doing a new build for a year or more, nothing from Intel is compelling enough.
