I'm with you here! However i only upgrade to remove bottlenecks. The last one I did I went from a pentium dual core (e6500) to my current AMD FX-6300, new ATX format motherboard (since I had a mATX one before) and faster RAM. Next major upgrades in my household are required by two computers we have, that said replacing 7 year old hard drives before they die.

I generally do a "full upgrade" every 3-4 years. That doesn't include stuff like computer case, monitor, hard drives, and other peripherals. Just the basics like vid card, RAM, mobo, and processor. And possibly power supply. I usually go a couple steps down from "top of the line" so it ends up costing me 1000-1200 every 3-4 years. And that's Canadian dollars, for what it's worth.
