I'm wondering if i drop about £700 and get a radeon 7850 and i5 3570k, then if i keep upgrading how much will it cost me yearly? Like if i need a new graphics card in 3 years, and pay £200 on it, how much will it on average over a year?

Hope i explained it in a understandable maner. :lol: 

When i mean this i mean to keep it on Mid.

EDIT: sorry for the confusion, i mean im getting the whole package with the radeon and i5, it's just thats the important parts

Im not 100% clear on what you're asking but, heres my input :p  :

For a start, where are you buying the 7850 and 3570k for it to come to £700!? haha

I would say that you wont NEED to upgrade again for a good 3-4 years, but it depends on how up to date and high end you want to be.

So say you want to keep high end and play the latest games on high settings, than youd probably need to upgrade your card in 2-3 years, so it would cost whatever your willing to pay really.

200 a year would suggest a new GPU every year! More like £100
