Personally I like to upgrade every 2-3 years in order to be able to play all modern games at high-ultra settings. I find after 2.5 years I need to start scaling down from maximum settings and start researching new parts. Once I have a new build I generally like to sell, re-purpose, or give my old stuff to family. Most of the time I will re-use what ever I can (case, HDD's, DVD, etc.)
So what is your cycle like? Every year, every 2 years, every time the next big thing comes out? What do you do with your old stuff? Whats your motivation for upgrading? Gaming performance, or just upgradeitis?
