Usually if you want your rig to keep up with modern games, you need to upgrade it at least every 5 years, maybe more often than that... and that's if you don't make a point of playing every game at ultra settings.
Personally i'll wait for PS2 to come out to buy a new rig, and then i'll keep it until they upgrade their graphics engine or until i can't play new games anymore. But that's just a coincidence that my PC is roughly old enough so i was going to upgrade it sometime around this year anyway. Edit: my point is, we're always going to try and keep up with the gaming industry. So if you buy a new rig because of a specific game, that doesn't mean this particular game made you spend any more cash than the ammount you would've already spent sometime soon anyway.

I bought 5000 SC and haven't spent any on my rig yet but am looking into a new monitor.

I admit it, I'm currently shopping for upgrades. Approximate cost - $900 for the first round.
That's with the caveat that I use the same computer for a portion of my job. Processing photos and videos, well, i just happen to need some serious graphics and processing abilities.... right? Tax deduction.... right? Oh, PS2 beta will open up soon? Really? Who knew! What a strange coincidence. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. |

I imagine the same will be true with Planetside 2. |

i bought my gaming laptop 2 years ago, so i didn´t buy a lot of stuff new yet.
the beta will show if i have to upgrade to a new desktop gaming rig. oh but i bought a logitech g13 months ago when it was on sale specifically for ps2 (50 bucks for that plus about 30 bucks for station cash so far) if my laptop sucks at ps2, i guess i will have to spend at least 1-2 thousands on a nifty high end system. at least 16 gb ram, one or two of the latest nvidia cards and i5 or i7 cpu.i think this will be my last rig specifically for gaming, so it should be capable of handling possible future updates of planetside 2 (only game that is worth upgrading a rig for)

So far...
Intel i5 2500K - $179 Gigabyte Z77 MoBo - $119 8 GByte DDR3 RAM - $39 240GByte SSD Drive - $169 Station Cash - $20 older stuff is still being reused, such as 8800 GT, Power Supply, Case, Gaming Mouse & Keyboard, and Monitor Will likely spend between $200 & $300 on a new Video Card once I see how things perform. |

Planning on putting 250€ to get a new GPU so that I can run PS2 better and also record gameplay while at it. (From HD5770 to HD7850)
I have put 20€ into Station Cash on a triple SC day (Will play on EU though, so hope it converts well into Pro7$) Apart from that, when I play a F2P game I really like and plan to play for long, I try to budget ~13€/month for the game, as I would with any sub based game. Sometimes if I make bigger purchases (like in APB where the things I usually buy are like 40€), I just wont use any money for several months then so that it pretty much equals out to that 13€/month-plan.
