CPU is the least required component for upgrade. CPU can last for ages, especially since Multi-core CPUs established themselves (since Core 2 Duos came)

Dual core processors are becoming insufficient for maxing the latest CPU heavy games.

Anyone trying to build a mainstream rig or better right now, would be silly to go cheap on the CPU and pick up a dual core.

Quad-core is the only smart thing to do, and in that instance, you don't need to play it cheap, because your older games will potentially only run off one of those cores.

What the hell is with this "maxing the latest games" crap? Do you realise that nowadaymany console games have graphics so oudated that are only around the "low settings" of the PC versions? If you want to maximize everything you shouldn't even be buying consoles.

CPU heavy games are less than 1% of the PC's game releases each year. Less than 1%! You can count them with your fingers

You only need to buy a good CPU at the time of your buy. A good CPU, not overpriced, not top-of-the-line, just a good one. That's more than enough.
