I agree with Uncle Eric- unlike building computers where you are constantly fighting the increasing amount of data that needs processing, the audio and photography deals with a relatively static environment. You don't have any objective reasons to upgrade because audio and photo are technologically mature.
The hardest thing for me is finding time for both.
Are you still chasing the newest hardware? Development of desktop hardware has slowed down in the the last year, for a number of reasons. Not least of which is the fact that desktop hardware remains relevant a good bit longer than it used it. I'm using an antiquated overclocked 165 at home. It's not fast but, it's more than enough for ~65% of my tasks so long as I keep RAM usage down. I'm still going to build a new one but, upgrading is hardly the temptation it once was.
