Future proof

Why is it that consoles life cycles last like 6-8 years but when people ask about future-proofing pc parts, the answer is always something like only several years? I want to buy a gaming pc that includes "top of the line" parts, but that will also last me as long as a console's life-cycle...

Tell me what you think of putting these components as a springboard system, to eventually swap for better/faster etc. new components? The system will mostly be used for surfing, Photoshop work and light gaming. Very importantly, I'm on a tight budget with not too much now. I figure to spend...

Hi there everybody! I’ll try to keep this short and sweet, so I’ll ask my question and then explain everything after that. My question is, which CPU would you buy for a 90% gaming usage computer that I don’t plan on updating (CPU/MOBO wise) for 5-6 years? I’m stuck between the i9 9900k and the...

My monitor provides only 60-75hz at 1080p, but this is exactly what I want. I have no plans on upgrading my monitor. I'm currently running an RX 580 (a mid range card) and it does just fine to give 60-100fps on ultra settings. My question is this: I have the option to get a used 1070Ti (a high...

I can't decide which one of two laptops should I buy. The only differences between them are the graphics cards. Other components are the same and so is the price. Which one of these GPUs will age better and will last longer? I think it could be the GTX 1070 but aren't future games requiring...

So, i successfully managed to kill my 6 year old PC by connecting a molex connector while the system was running. Lesson learned. Moving on. Building a new one. Now I'm aiming for a kinda future proof system, where i have room for upgrades in the next 5-6 years. From the build i wrecked i have...

Hey all, I built my PC a few years back now, I want to know if it is worth my time to rebuild a new PC or just upgrade my graphics card. The PC is used for internet browsing, statistical software, Microsoft office and of course gaming. I would like to be able to play current and future triple-A...

Yesterday i was going through my front panel connectors (long story) and for some reason or other i pressed the reset button twice at somepoint, the system was on sleep mode so the screen was off and have no way of knowing if anything happened. I dont want to check if the reset button works...
