. For me, it's when I notice problems or my gaming starts to suffer.
only non essential change i made was upgrading my PSU from 600-750 and that was because I wanted to go modular and there was a good sale on a corsair.
Other than that just my GPU crashing after 4 years, this 1070 should last me another 4
Ill prob do a full upgrade if VR ever takes off.

no reason to upgrade your mobo or ram individually. Just do those two and the CPU at the same time with a newer chip set.
Processor vs GPU is whichever one is bottlenecking. Look up some benchmarks to see.

I seem to upgrad every year and a half, most of the time not needed, but the system I have now is good for awhile unless I get in the mood to just upgrade for the hell of it, that probably won't happen because this build was a bitch, much harder than my previous two. I don't think I have the knowledge to mess with the higher end stuff.

Here's the deal. You can pretty much upgrade a GPU anytime. It will be compatible with what you already have and you will see performance increase. The same cannot be said for other components. Different CPUs require different sockets. So when upgrading CPUs you should be aware of what socket your new CPU will need and purchase the corresponding motherboard. Also I if your current build DDR3 memory you will most likely need the buy ddr4 if you are upgrading.
