That's depends on the game. It seems the latest power house games (BF, Crysis, Metro etc) usually knock Ultra settings down by a generation with each release. For example, you'll be able to do Ultra with BF4. With BF5 (or whatever), possibly High settings.

But predominately, you'll max out all games for a few years. If you want a specific number, between 3.0239232684263452369 and 3.893327884134649463 years.

It's a solid build. I would have picked a better PSU but you shouldn't have any issues with the Cooler Master. Did you get an aftermarket cooler for the CPU? That would help with lower temps and the possibility for overclocking (since you have a k version).

Well yeah. Upgrades always improve performance. The first thing I thing I would look at is an SSD. I'll never have another computer without one. You'll only need to buy the memory if needed. Same with CF.
