Why do you say there is no such thing s future proofing? I am just wondering as I see it get said alot here.

wouldnt there need to be a huge jump in hardware or performance for there to not be future proofing?

I usually just buy the best I can afford, that usually mean playing in high/ultra for a year or 2, then med/high a few more years then maybe a new one.
As long as you are not aiming for specific detail level, it would run it until it break.

But i was thinking that even when the 800 series comes out do you think it will be a vast jump in performance? to where most mid range will fall to low range and high range will fall to mid range?

I would guess about 5-10% jump on average.

I think people say that because performance computers have such a small life cycle. You can't build a computer today and expect 5 years from now to be a top performer. In general, it would be better for you to save your money and buy better components in a few years than spend extra "future proofing" now. Buy components now and use them now because that is when they have the most value.

Ahhhh ok, I thought when yall said there was no such thing as future proof that I would have to spend 800 and then this time next year would need another 800 lol

it always had me worried, as I can not afford a new pc year or i might be able to but dont really want to you know lol


i got a

8320
970 motherboard
gtx 760
8gb ram
1tb harddrive


so i didnt want to have to derf upgrade next january

But i was thinking that even when the 800 series comes out do you think it will be a vast jump in performance? to where most mid range will fall to low range and high range will fall to mid range?
