because they will last and you won't need to replace them as often. My last build lasted 13 years, so who knows what I'll need 5 or 10 years from now.

I'm mainly wondering what has changed since my last build.

I'd think more about what is going to change in the next 2-3 years. AI models running locally is going to be a thing and I personally think it's going to spur a big device/computer upgrade cycle. Macs with the M chips already are built for AI. Current PCs need to add expensive NVidia GPUs currently. AMD and others are working on integrating AI with the CPU. I would either go cheap so you'll feel justified upgrading again in a year or 2, or make sure whatever you build is has the latest connections/busses and will be easy to upgrade the main components.
