It will “last” for as long as you up keep it, but it will become a retro system rather than something current for gaming. If you’re happy to just play the games of today and prior for the next 25 years so be it
But you’re not going to be able to get it online in 25 years let alone play a game published in 2040 on a system that hasn’t been upgraded since 2013
Just look at the systems from 25 years ago now, unable to do anything but run games and software of the time and nearly impossible to access the modern Internet from them (with a few exceptions)
Mine is 17 years old but last year I upgraded the last original parts in it (MB, CPU & RAM) so now only the case is original and I don’t think it counts as the same PC anymore.
How long should a PC last for? My current one is over 13 years old
