Future-Proofing Your PC: How to Make It Last for Years

Introduction

Technology evolves fast, but a well-planned PC build can remain powerful for years. Here’s how to future-proof your PC.

1. Choose Upgradeable Components

• Motherboard: Ensure it supports future CPUs and RAM.
• RAM: Get at least 32GB if possible, or ensure upgrade slots are available.
• GPU: Buy a mid-to-high-end GPU for better longevity.

2. Invest in a Good Power Supply

A high-quality PSU (80+ Gold or better) can last multiple upgrades.

3. Use SSDs for Storage

NVMe SSDs improve load times and performance over HDDs.

4. Keep Software Updated

Regularly update drivers, BIOS, and Windows/Linux for the best performance.
