I honestly dont see the problem in "keeping up" with the hardware. Ive got a 3 year old rig and its still giving me great gaming and good performance on pretty much every single game I throw at it. I havent updated anything other than adding in more storage space. And its not even a "top end" rig for its day, its a budget computer.
The only game Ive had any kind of performance problem with is Crysis. And practicaly everyone does, so thats no biggy.
My comps an AMD X2 @2.7ghz/2x1gb DDR2/ATi HD3870 512. I havent yet had a game on this system thats made me need to upgrade. This from a sub £400 PC 3 years ago.
Dont be fooled, PC gaming now has been pegged for ages. Its barely had any development done beyond console level.
