the desktop pc is a mature product, for what most people use it there isn’t a big difference if your pc is new or 3 yrs old, the pc I use for 80% of what I do at home was a low end pc 4 yrs ago but I can’t see any big benefit of upgrading plus I would get stuck with windows vista and all the headaches that would bring
