I built a monster of a PC in 2013 that has only recently started to show its age. I upgraded from sli 780s to sli 1070s and it has helped tremendously but now my CPU seems to be getting close to its max for a few things. So my question is: When should you retire a system and start new?
To be more specific, my power supply is a corsair 1050W power supply. if I want to upgrade my CPU I will have to replace my motherboard and ram also, but should I upgrade my power supply also?
I have no reason to believe it is bad but is there a lifespan to components where it is prudent to simply replace them? That is a general question to all components in a system.
