My question is if you think it is stupid to keep adding more expensive compnenets to a relatively inexpensive bike? Should I forget the upgrades and just look at getting a nicer bike?

Are you sure this is "the one frame" you want to stick with? If so, then upgrade at will, otherwise hold out.

Unless you do the work yourself, upgrading an entire groupset is a very labor intensive (thus expensive) operation. That's not counting how much components cost.
