AMD 8350 FX @ 4.7GHz CPU

AMD Sapphire 4GB 290x GPU (Will also OC eventually and assuming mantle will do what it sets out to do as well as a possible crossfire in the future like a year)

8GB Corsair vengeance @ 1866MHz will upgrade to 16GB as well in the future if necessary but speed will drop to 1600MHz

AM3+ Sabertooth REV 2.0

750Watt Corsair PSU (Changing the corsair to XFX PRO850W Core Edition)

Will just be gaming on a single 1920x1080 display, hoping for a sustained 60fps+
So yeah just looking for some ideas on how long this build would last like what settings I will be able to play games at and for how long as time goes on? Thanks for everyone's input really appreciate it!

That GPU will still be playing at high settings or maybe medium in 3 years more than likely.

ALso DO NOT get a CX PSU from Corsair. They are not very good. Stick with their other units or change to Antec, XFX, Seasonic.

No problem, I actually lost most of my first build to a cx600.
