I'm baffled that some people update their hardware before it stops working.

But then I just keep playing old games that run on my system, so I'm probably not the target demographic.

I mean I play pretty much exclusively old and 2D games. If you asked me to give up my SSD or my GPU, the GPU would be the first to go.

I've seen too many people spend more money keeping a system alive than they would have spent upgrading to modern hardware and I refuse to be like them.
