Nearly every PC I own has had its disk replaced at least once, and many have more RAM than they started with; both of these massively extend their useful lifespan.

RAM, storage, and GPU upgrades are great.

Unfortunately CPU upgrades often require a new socket/motherboard.

CPU upgrades on desktops did not make much sense for several years, until Zen came out.
