My brother loves his sports and also can't live without his videogames, I have trouble differentiating between what is more important to him, a very high end pc, or the best large screen T.V. and sound system he can get.
I mention this only as a frame of reference, for me, I love games, I could care a less if the programs I enjoy are not so good in apearence and sound, for games, I need the best experience I can get, I spend quite a bit on hardware.
