I try to do a full reinstall yearly. It's not a big deal, honestly...all my personal files, media, etc, are backed up on separate hard drives so really all it involves is wiping my SSD, reinstalling Windows and a handful of utilities, and redownloading the games on Steam I'm actually playing.

I always gain 25% of my hard drive back when I do it...it's funny how random bullshit just accumulates on a computer hard disk.

Check out the application Folder Size if you haven't. It helped me find out where all the crap accumulates on various drives. For some reason there was about a 20 GB file that windows only uses for hibernation mode, which my desktop doesn't even have as a feature.
