About 20 years ago my dad bought me a $5k computer, it was future proof for about "5 years" before we had to upgrade its internal parts (more memory, new graphics card).

It was future proof but not really because it struggled a lot in its final years.

My 6 year old mediocre gaming PC is still a mediocre gaming PC.

I expect it to stay a mediocre gaming PC for the next 3 years maybe 5 years.

16GB RAM RTX 3060 TI (8 GB VRAM)

He had that option,l. However buying apple hardware todqy you are stuck and need to replace all of it even if for example the CPU is plenty fast but you need more memory or GPU power.
