How often do you buy new gaming hardware?

Built April/May of this year:

CPU: Intel i7-5930k
RAM: 64GB DDR4 (3000)
GPU: 2x GTX 980 Ti (EVGA Classified)
HDD: 4x 2TB 7200rpm (WD black)
SSD: San Disk Exstreme Pro 480GB
CPU Fan: Corsair Hydro Series H110i

It's a shame i don't live in the US, otherwise i'd have been able to push the boat out even further, but i'm happy enough with how it turned out. I'd have liked to wait for the 1080, but unfortunately this build is also for work, and i couldn't afford to wait any longer. I also bought a 4k screen for about £600 (you can get them a decent amount cheaper, but i needed one with a large colour range for work, which dragged the price up).

Nice! We have the same processor, and the same GPU, down to the EVGA bit but I have only one. Why do you have so much RAM, is that work related? I have only 16GB, gonna double it next year, games like GTA V are pushing the need for more memory and some mods to certain games ramp up the usage as well. Processor is gold, I've yet to come across anything that challenges it in the slightest.
I'm guessing you're pulling some pretty good frame rates with that dual-GPU setup? I chose to go with 1440p for now, monitor is great, cost about 500£, 32" with great color and contrast, good for both games and movies, on paper it has a "slow" response time of 5ms, but I can't say I've noticed it at all.

Good stuff!

Yeah the RAM is work related, i'm dragged into After Effects a lot and the more RAM the merrier in there (render times in particular scale incredibly well with jumps from 16, 32, and 64). Totally agree on the processor front, even work wise it's up to pretty much anything i throw at it.

You can get some great results from duel-980 Ti's, definitely. I can hit 4k/max/60fps in most games, with some variability in the more demanding areas of stuff like GTA5 and TW3 (though my screen has g-sync, which helps in those situations). In general i'm super happy with how games run on it. I'll likely have to start turning some settings down as new high-spec games release, but i can hardly complain. It sounds like your PC is no lightweight either though! When did you build it?
