PC hardware...the eternal struggle

For many many years i have had a pc and been upgrading i never have the best spec its always  not to bad.

My problem has always been the price to performance ratio and when newer hardware comes out its such a small improvement (unless your willing to pay the big bucks) i have had a nvidia 460 for the past couple of years and since then the price has not really dropped and hardware that has come out since then (and probably in the next few months ) the newer hardware for the same amount of money dont really offer that much of a increase.

Was reading a review of a  graphics card and in that review there was tons of jargon about memory mhz speed and how specs wise it was better then what i had at the moment and in a comparison with specs it was better but in the end where it really matters is frame rates and when you compare that is a extra 10fps really worth forking out nearly 200 euro.

i think with hardware the older stuff should be price reduced a lot more and newer hardware should offerer a bigger increase in performance
