Back in the days, PCs were advancing so fast, you'd build a PC and a month later have buyer remorse and start overclocking and thinking about the next build. So I remember always being on these hardware review sites. Now I just wait till a PC breaks to upgrade it.
I finally upgraded my early 2012 gaming PC over Xmas, though I had replaced the GPU in late 2015 for Fallout 4. The i5-2500 was still doing OK, I just wanted more RAM and cores to mess around with development at home.
My work PCs are prebuilts and last 4-5 years between upgrades.
Yep, tech sites are much less necessary for most people than they were 10 years ago.
