I was wondering what was better. Building a new pc every 5-4 years or doing small to massive upgrade throughout its life?

Build new because motherboards change. New features are added, updated and change over that 5 years. Plus graphics cards seem to follow that same trend. We haven't seen CPU's really make huge changes but they have come along way as well. Besides getting to build a new toy every so often is great.

New builds would be better i guess if you make sure the cpu and gpu are not bottlenecking each other. You also have things like windows OS that is tied to your motherboard and having a powerful enough psu for certain graphic cards. With new builds you just make sure everything works well.
