About every 4 years I build a new machine but usually keep a couple parts from the older system like a DVD or a case. (70-80% new machine though)
Also about every 2 years I reload from scratch to keep the OS fresh and fast.

Me too. I just built a new machine because my motherboard died (first time that has happened). I reused an old case, my old ram, and my hard drives. Otherwise, everything else was new.
Stuff I replaced:
motherboard
processor
power supply
dvd drive
I'm not a gamer, so I just used on-board video (Intel core 4th gen processor).
I use Linux, so it doesn't seem to slow down over time like Windows...I didn't do a thing to my install, just booted up off the old system hard drives.
