I've been in the industry for almost 50 years. When my partner and I started our firm, we decided that whenever we upgraded our systems, we'd buy the highest performance system available. The goal being the best longevity possible. Over that period, on average it was 4-5 years before we had to upgrade. With a couple of hiccups because of bad design decisions that didn't manifest until a couple years down the road.
So. If you're using your system for something that pushes the envelope, pretty much no matter how big you buy or how much you spend, you're looking a 4-5 years to obsolescence. Sad but consistently true for half a century.
At this moment, my system is 3 1/2 years old...
