The main reason I don't play a bunch of games is that my PC specs have actually gone down a few times...

I had a very nice gaming laptop that died, Got my PC running again, and then had to move, now I only really have room for a laptop, and my backup laptop is... bad. I've ordered a new gaming laptop that's better than anything I've had in years... I might actually get to play modern games again. Kind of looking forward to it.

Same, same. I bought my system well over a decade ago and the only thing I've upgraded is the GPU. System still works great for general computing, but it's missing some of the CPU features newer architectures have like SSE[?-4] and AVX.
