CPU: AMD FX 6300 Black Edition Six Core Processor Socket AM3+ (3.5Ghz)
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 Socket AM3+ Motherboard
PSU: Corsair CP-9020048 UK Builder Series CX 600W 80 PLUS Bronze, SLI/CrossFire, EPS 12V, Quiet Fan
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar 1TB Green SATA III

It would be a while before you can't possibly run any games on 1920x1080, i'm talking probably 2-3 years, it really depends no one can see into the future so we can't really tell. But judging on new releases, the 7970 can easily knock down most games that are now being thrown at it and will most likely continue to do that for at least a couple of years.
