Path of Exile lol.
Gonna date myself a bit but Diablo 2 was the first time I really needed to upgrade our computer. Needed more space.
Then games like Crysis (shoutout 5970) and most recently cyberpunk
Funny you should mention Starfield, my previous rig (up until 2020) I built specifically for Fallout 4, anticipating that I'd need something reasonably beefy for all the mods (4790k, R9 390). Didn't really gel with F4 but enjoyed Witcher 3 a lot at the time.
It was Battlefield 3! The moment I got in a helicopter with under 20fps I knew it was a need and not a want anymore. I had to get a gtx 480 and a new power supply to support it. Followed by a pci slot fan to help it out a little more
When the demo for RE4 Remake came out and it was just a total slideshow, I uninstalled it and began my journey. My i7 lasted well over 10 years, it got the full 10 gun salute
My old system was already 10 years old. When Hogwarts Legacy came out, I was able to set a goal for my future system. Being able to play the game on ultra settings on a 1440p Monitor with 144 FPS.
My old PC was able to reach about 33 FPS on the lowest Settings possible. Next week I should have the last part for my new PC.

A few games have gotten me to do that over the years.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition was what finally convinced me to fit a 1TB SSD, and Control was what convinced me it was finally time to get a ray-tracing card.
Hell Let Loose. Not because its terribly hard to run, but my OC'd 590 happened to die while I was playing it.
I upgraded because my previous PC was a dead end. It was a retrofitted XPS workstation I got from my father - I had slotted a SATA SSD and a somewhat improved GPU, but I couldn't push it much further due to the proprietary PSU form factor. There weren't even extra PCIe slots, which became a huge issue when I switched off Windows and wanted to get an Intel Wifi/BT card.
While this wasn’t the sole reason (I was just kinda due for an upgrade anyway), I was interested in playing Half-life Alyx and Star Wars Squadrons in VR.
Half life alyx was the inspiration for me too. In the end I mostly play Slay the spire and cities skylines on it...
No single game has gotten me to upgrade my PC, however if RDR2 released on PC at the same time as consoles, I would have upgraded for it. I ended up buying a PS4 to play at launch, and bought it again once it came to Steam (didn't need to upgrade to run it by that point).
