I think it's more about wanting to have a computer that can keep up with all the additional things we are doing. Now a days, people aren't just on their computer for one thing, while we are checking our e-mail, we are also posting on forums, chatting through instant messengers, and playing flash games. In a world of multi-tasking at a high pace, we just want technology that can keep up.
Ya, but some people need a new PC everytime a new First Person Shooter comes out since If it lags in FPS your going to get shot by your friends with better PCs.

lol that is true but I don't buy PC games.
Sometimes it made me buy parts for the pc to make it faster.
Now I am playing Warhammer online which my pc can do with a better vid card but the game is not something I would stick with forever. So only for that I wont upgrade. Most of the games is perfectly fine.
Upgrading is pretty good. I am saving up to buy a new video card since the intel integrated graphics is slow for all the games I want to play.
I find if your computer is 5+ years old it won't be worth upgrading since better technology come out like PCI-express, Bluetooth, Dual or Quad core CPU, SATA hard drives.
Also, people are doing a lot of video editing and music making these days, so a fast PC helps out.
Yes, I agree except for people who can't afford newer PCs, but PCs are relatively cheap like $500-1000 for a mid level PC compared to PC built 10 years a go when a PC cost 3000 bucks and only can play 2D games on floppies.
