This year (April).
Dunno, probably five years or so.. I've upgraded it abit over the years, Started out with 4 gigs of ram, intel pentium g3220 ( dual core in 2014 lul), Radeon something something ( a entry level radeon card from around that time ).
Since then I've replaced the single 4 gb ram block with 2x4 gb, replaced the radeon card with my brothers discarded gtx 660 in 2016 or so, replaced my intel pentium g3220 with an i5 4690k in 2017 and now I yet again replace my gpu with the rx 570 that I got for Christmas.
Yes my system is a hodgepodge of low-mid range stuff but if you don't have much then you have to make do with what you can get your hands on.
Built in 2015. Upgraded GPU in mid-2017. Still see NO reason to upgrade (since there STILL aren't any good games that support RTX and probably won't be for a few years).
i7-6700k
EVGA SC 1080ti
32GB DDR4-3200
256GB SSD as primary drive, 3TB 7200 RPM HDD for storage.
5 years. CPU/mobo died about a month ago though so I replaced the motherboard and the CPU, but left the rest of the components the same. I had a pretty hefty OC on it the entire time I had the PC (3.3 -> 4.75). I assume the Voltage regulator fried on the mobo which killed the CPU. Not 100% sure exactly what happened though.
The one I play WoW on is about 4 or 5 years old. The one I do most of my browsing and writing is 10 years old, but I can no longer play WoW on.
I just upgraded this spring but my OCd i5 3750K lasted me a good 6-7 years.
About 5 years old. My laptop is a 2 year old macbook I only use for work and school stuff.
Oldest pieces of it are 13 years old, newest few months.

hardware is 5 years old now.
just no game worth upgrading for
Mine is going on it’s 4th year.
i7 chip, 48gb ram, 1080ti (recently replaced a couple years ago), 1TB SSD, 2 Tb hdd.
It still plays every new game at highest settings flawlessly. Don’t think I need an upgrade for a good while. If anything it’ll be a new video card in 2-3 years or if my current one dies like my previous one. Usually upgrade every 5 years but not this time. Can afford it but seriously no need for it.

About 5 months?
I think I'm up to three years now on mine. Probably start looking into upgrading some things pretty soon.
Build late 2013 so 6 years.
I been thinking lately about upgrading, on one hand I will get a decent jump with new specc but on the other hand I dont really need it.
I mostly play MMOs (wow+ ffxiv) with the random RPG on steam every now and then.
I have had my personal computer since I first assembled it in 1989. Since then I have looked after it well, regularly upgrading components such as the motherboard, memory, processor, case, keyboard, monitor, hard disks, video card and operating system. Still using the original power lead though
When gtx 980 ti was a flagship card which i don't know when that was.
Build this year
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D: Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite AX: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 C30 : PowerColor Radeon RX 7900 GRE Hellhound OC: CORSAIR HX850i: Samsung 960 EVO 250GB NVMe: fiio e10k: lian-li pc-o11 dynamic XL:
Built mine in 2017 and upgraded part of it in 2018.
I think I built my computer about 4 years ago. At the time it was build with older parts that were brand new. It was an amd fx 6300, asus motherboard, 8gb of ram and an nvidia gt 630. I have since added 8gb of ram, an amd fx 8350 and a nvidia 1050ti. Cant really update it much without getting a new motherboard, ram and cpu.
