I'd get a better power supply eg Seasonic 620 or 650, XFX 650 or Antec HCG 620M.

8GB ram would be OK for gaming.

Otherwise what you got will be OK for a few years. By then there'll be new and better everything to choose from.

2025 is 11 years.

Think back to 2003 and what processors were around? The Pentium 4 Extreme Edition would have been the high end piece. How does it perform today? It doesn't, it's a piece of junk.

A far better option would be to take your budget and cut it by 1/3. But a good case, power supply, but most of your other components you would be replacing through the years. Every 3-4 years or so you essentially gut the machine and replace anything that needs it.

Also, your video cards probably wouldn't even be able to run 3 4k screens at any decent frame rate today, let alone games coming out 4-5 years from now.

This machine doesn't make any sense at all.

It should, but a single 780ti doesn't run 4k video very well, almost any single card solution doesn't. Keep in mind that 1 4k screen is similar to running 4 1080p monitors. It might be better to go with a card that has 4GB or more of RAM for higher resolutions if you like to keep anti aliasing settings turned on and you probably still want to run in a crossfire/sli configuration for that resolution.

You also probably want an SSD for your main drive still so that you machine feels nice and fast.

I'm beginning to think this is just a troll post.
