Not really. I use my 4 year old CPU, power supply, memory and motherboard with a brand new geforce 1080. I could also upgrade the memory if I wanted to.
If you upgrade the CPU, you usually have to upgrade the motherboard. That's about it.
Agreed. Built a PC almost 5 years ago and the only modifications I've made have been adding more disk drives. GPU's starting to drag but I hardly game anymore so still works like a charm.
