Im asking this question because i just built a rig 2 weeks ago and feel like i could have got a better bang for my buck.

Specs:

-Intel i5 3570k ( was told i should have gotten the i5 4670k instead)

-Raedon HD 7870 GPU ( missed a sale newegg.com was having on the 7970 that had it priced at $219 still kicking myself for that.

-RAM 8gb
-Mobo Asus p8z77-vlk
-PSU Corsair HX650

Im just feeling i could have done better and looking for comfort because i dont think the 7870 will hold up for the next 5 years or so before i upgrade. Will the 7870 hold up because i was thinking of just crossfiring it in the future since i feel one isnt enough.

Theres no way its going to last 5 years, nothing computer related ever lasts 5 years unless you want it to perform like crap.

Lol 5 years

cookybiscuit said it best

Unless you want it to perform exactly in the manner of "crap" in 4-5 years. As newer technology comes out, newer instruction sets for executing programs are released. In 5 years, todays SLI, won't even match a single GPU.
