Unless you are going to somewhere like CyberPowerPC and having pros put together you computer, at more of a premium, it is worth keeping up with the best gear to upgrade your system.
Self assembling components is the most cost effective way to keep up in the PC gaming world. If you have set a 're-buy a system' budget for every year when the new games come out, more power to you, but I have kept 2 children, myself and often a partner fully upgraded every year for probably the cost of one new system a year. It isn't that time consuming if you are interested in it.
If you don't care about the tech specs so much.. go to console.
