Just look at the cost of gaming GPUs (including the costs of watercooling?). Not to mention the fact that CPU can have a slower upgrade cycle than GPU (since a CPU upgrade will usually mean upgrading the motherboard, possibly the RAM, who knows what else while you're there), so getting a top GPU is not at all cheap in the long run. No it's not worth it IMO, but some people spend crazy amounts chasing a few extra fps.
