I upgraded last year from i7-4700k to i7-12700k and from GTX 750Ti to RTX 3060Ti, because 8 threads and 2GB of vram was finally not enough for modern games. And my old machine still runs as a home server.
The jump was huge and I hope I’ll have money to upgrade sooner this time, but if needed I can totally see that my current machine will work just fine in 6-8 years.
