Your 5-year-old gaming PC doesn't need upgrades
Your "old" PC isn't really that old
In the PC hardware timeline, even 5 years seems like ages ago. After all, 2020 was the year when we were grappling with the GPU crisis, the RTX 30 series had just launched, and the Ryzen 7 5800X3D didn't exist. If you built a gaming PC during that year, you might be tempted to go for a platform upgrade or at least a few component upgrades. Hold your horses, however, because I'm here to tell you that your PC has more life left in it than you think. Assuming you built a mid-range to high-end machine in 2020, your 5-year-old PC isn't really "old" yet.
