> that's the point of PC gaming usually : you upgrade often.
No. That hasn't been the case for years, now. I built a machine in 2010, and gave it its first upgrade a couple of months ago.
And to tell the truth, I could've gone on a couple years more before I really needed to upgrade. The biggest bottleneck was the GPU (an nVidia GTX 460). However, I splurged on a few upgrades (GTX 960, up to 16GB of RAM (from 8), and an SSD). It's once again a beast, even with the same CPU from 2010 (AMD Phenom II X6 1090T).
And that extra money that I've put into this system? I've made most of it back in the way of cheaper games.
