I'm the guy who bought one ridiculously expensive component that's now bottlenecked by the rest of the build until I can replace everything else haha
That's how I do my builds, just one rolling bottleneck rather than doing a complete build.
I’m not about to do the thinking and math required… but I’m curious if this is actually a decent way to go about upgrading on a budget. If this actually gets you a comparable average experience to saving money at the same rate, but only upgrading when you’ve got enough for a whole new build.
Not sure how people do that. It's not like you can upgrade the processor without the motherboard (at least these days. Socket always seems to change every time I need a new one. And memory type is almost as often.
That's your fault for buying Intel. AMD boards get several generations. They've just switched to AM5. Build a system around that and you could probably throw in a great brand new CPU in about 5 years time and get ten years out of it.
