I update my system when needed but I always have reasonable good hardware.

SSD/nvm are same defaults for me.

Memory I currently have 48gb in my desktop for running a VM properly.

My last CPU upgrade was necessary when I got a new camera and the raw files grinded Lightroom to a snail.

My keyboards are either full metal base with real cherry MX keys or a expensive ergonomic keyboard also with cherry MX keys.

I sit too long on my device every day to cheap out.

My displays always are at least IPS panels but my current display is already 6 years old. Still IPS with 27" and 1440 resolution.

I think it's good that you can work with your setup and your situation is a little bit harder I guess but make sure that you don't need to wait unreasonably long for your PC doing it's tasks.

And never use a HDD as your main hard disk!
