i'm currently upgrading my system and i'm wondering if this build would be enough to future-proof myself for a little while, so if you could check out the link then get back to me as i need to know if my system will be enough to run most games now and in the near future? http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3cD8j

thanks in advance everyone

Well my good sir, I love the build. If none of these parts konk out on you randomly, I can honestly say this PC will last you almost ten years. Mine has lasted me about five so far, and that's with a six core processor, etc. I also love how you chose the Kingston SSD NOW line, for that's the same type of SSD I have in my system. They perform great!

I too would get a better PSU, I am assuming you intend to over clock heavily based on the cooler.

well, a couple of parts i actually wanted to improve on as to be honest i'm only willing to spend about £700/£800 at the moment as i'm a little strapped for cash lol.

was thinking about a higher end gpu but i'd definately be staying with liquid cooling as they're more hidden from view unlike most air coolers, i'm thinking about upgrading it to 16gb ram though i highly doubt i'll need it if i just use it for moderate gaming such as bf4 call of duty and minecraft and some others, though i could be wrong but atm i'm only running a relatively low end build which is very capable of getting 45/60 fps in most games other than crysis 3 which is a bummer as the graphics in that are immense, though that would more than likely be my gpu letting me down :( but if there are any changes that i could make you're welcome to suggest a few guys

well, it's just that it was a super cheap cooler only cost me 17 pounds so yeah im waiting for it to fail on me as i've been told and also seeing a few reviews that it was a touchy piece of equipment didn't fill me with hope, though i trust it enough to keep me under 60c under full load with a 4.6GHz o'c and it's not given way yet, though i've secretly just been wanting the liquid cooling because i find it looks tidier, also the board i'm using has had mny bad reviews about o'c (msi 970a-g43) the vrm's apparently catch fire under heavy overclock D:
