I've always done 5-7 year cycles on machine I've owned, but this time around its getting quite complicated as my last refresh was 4-5 years ago. So I'm kind of stuck wishing my current hardware both meets the requirements and just survives another half a decade, or my next upgrade, even if only partial, will be VERY expensive...

Similar situation here, my desktop is from 2019, with only the GPU upgraded since then. On the other side, I'm also much less interested in modern games these days so perhaps I'll do fine with a 10+ year cycle this time.
