It all depends on the timing of new component releases and their capabilities.

When it's no longer serving its purpose, your inquiry is similar to determining how long a piece of string lasts.
Typically, it's around 2 to 5 years before a GPU becomes outdated relative to newer games.

Computer components start to become obsolete around 30 seconds before you purchase them. In reality, they become outdated when they fail to meet your performance needs or when they become unsuitable due to age. For instance, if you only use Windows 98 for simple tasks like playing solitaire, a Pentium processor might still be functional. However, if you require advanced calculations and the processing demands now place you at a disadvantage compared to others, then it’s considered outdated.

It looks like you're joking about flexing. Would you like me to run Crysis?

First of all... how did you decide to purchase 2100 RAM? That's well below the standard specifications. Seriously, if you can sell that RAM, please do so—at least buy 2666 for a top-tier setup!

They slowly lose relevance.
It isn't immediate.

Likely, but I won't until I check my motherboard—I think something on my MB is broken.

I've owned a computer with hardware from the mid-90s, actually pulled out of dumpsters and running until 2013. I even played some games on it, though the CPU fan was making a lot of noise. I even tried online games like UT99 or Counter Strike, and had a lot of fun with that old machine. It was really outdated—yellowish, rusty, with cigarette burns—and it just wouldn't open games properly. The 2133 RAM is within spec, it's the original DDR4 speed, while the others were just overclocked by the makers.
