If you spread out your upgrades it's not so bad. I mean, you don't always need to have the fastest CPU on the market at every point in time.
Here's the cycle I use:
Year 1: Upgrade CPU/MB, and RAM if it's a new RAM type
Year 2: GPU
Year 3: Upgrade OS HDD, add more RAM, sound card
Year 4: Add or upgrade GPU, new PSU
Once every 8 years: Monitor
As needed: Storage HDDs, and less important parts (network card, replacing noisy fans, etc)
This spreads out your upgrades pretty well, and as long as you're getting mid to high end parts you won't fall behind on your ability to play video games in the least bit.
