At what point does a pc upgrade turn into a "new" pc?

Over the weekend, I built a new system and kept the storage, PCU, and GPU from my previous system. In my mind, this would be a "new system," but I'm interested in hearing from you all.

When is it a new system? New CPU, new Mobo? When you change 4 components? 5 Components? Getting new storage, a fresh OS install?

What say ye?
