The only way to keep a gaming pc for 9 years is to know the playstation 6 specs then build a pc that can handle it, so you can play games for the 7 years gen cycle + 2 years with cross gen games.

Just wait and play games you like on playstation 5.

There isn’t a PC I could merely upgrade the GPU(?) of to get PS6 games performing decently smooth? Can others confirm or deny? I’m not a fan of playing the “wait two years for next gen” because that’ll turn into “wait two years for it to not cost an arm and a leg.” This PC at the 2025-purchased should last me at least through the first few years of PS6.

You said you have 1500 usd budget.

Even if the cpu you can buy now will survive next gen , are you ready to pay 500 usd more to upgrade the gpu for next gen ?
