when to upgrade and when to buy a new bike?

i'm new here.

i'm new to fixed gear bike. i purchased new 2016 fuji track. the chrome moly one. i like it. been riding it for few weeks. seat was uncomfortable, so i upgrade the seat and the post. didn't like the drop bar so got a new drop bar. i want to go faster so started looking at wheel and larger chainring. to match the chainring, started looking at cogs.

i paid very good price for the bike, but the upgrades are adding up and already costing more than the bike itself.

if i do get the wheelset and other things, that would be like a brand new italian steel bikes.

so when is it more beneficial to keep on upgrading, and when is it too much? i like fuji track, but is it worth upgrading it to a point where the upgrades are much more expensive than the bike itself? and if i do buy italian steel bike, would i be end up upgrading again?
