When do you upgrade your hardware?

As the title asks, when do you upgrade your hardware? I have been thinking it would be nice to throw in a second hard drive or more ram, but then I realize that everything I have is working fine for what I do. (I'm currently running a P4 3.4Ghz w/HT, a gig of ram, Geforce 7600GS video card, and a 160 gig harddrive). The only upgrades that I have made to my machine since I have bought it is a new video card, and a pair of LCD monitors (not counting a printer and speakers). I am constantly seeing the latest processors and benchmarks and places like Tom's Hardware or Engadget, and I think how nice it would be to have such hardware. Then I realize what I have is still working nicely. So, when do you guys/gals upgrade your hardware? When it breaks? When it no longer does what you want to be able to do? When the latest-greatest piece of hardware comes out?

I buy a new top of the line computer every 4-5 years... I do however always upgrade(double) my ram approximately a year or two after I buy the computer.
