in a PC what are typically the components that “Last the longest” in regards to needing to be upgraded or those parts are very rapidly changing advancing in technology development? I ask this more as a I am planning on building a PC and want to start buying parts but I do not want to buy parts for them to end up being obsolete very shortly after
Case
Motherboard
SSD (including nvme m.2)
CPU (if you get a “high rated/newest one)
Cooling components
RAM
And I feel like that’s really it, GPU’s advance so much and ram barely made my list because I don’t know much about it but it’s current pricing I was undecided if I wanted to include it for a similar reason I didn’t include GPU’s. CPU’s only made the list assuming you will buy the best you can afford and don’t skimp here. For example I plan on an 8700k and z370 board to last me a minimizing 5 years from now (not including if something physically breaks). It seems most of my limits have been from GPU, ram (too little ram) and hard drive physical space but not the actual speed etc of them.
