I do the ocassional interim upgrade on my machine, the odd part here or there, but the major upgrades I do every few years. On Saturday I should take delivery of my new parts: dual core cpu, 2gb CAS 2ms RAM, SATA RAID stack, twin 7800 graphics cards (the 7900 was released today of course, but too much money for me to SLI them).
The next significant upgrade will be in 10-14 months time and I already know what it will be, i've only bought a 3.8Ghz processor but the motherboard will take something much faster... I intend to replace it when prices are lower.
Working out a good buying strategy will keep your PC nearer the cutting edge without overspending.
Having said that, a PC is always going to be way more expensive than a console, but you dont get Blitz on a console...
