Hey everyone!
I have a few questions regarding this gaming PC build. Here are the specs:
Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Asus Maximus VI Hero ATX LGA1150
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600
Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Dual Superclocked
Zalman Z12 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX'
BenQ GL2460HM 60Hz 24.0"
I have taken countless hours to select these parts, and get the bang for my buck, so my question is not really regarding the parts, but rather, their usefulness in the long run. This PC will be mainly used for gaming (Minecraft, FPS shooters like BF4), regular use, and editing (Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro/After Effects...). My question is, how long will this thing last me in the long run? With new parts and generations coming out so often, how long until I will have to upgrade my main components (motherboard, CPU and GPU)? Essentially, I want to know how long will I be able to play games on high settings, on 1080p, with an FPS above 50 in the games that actually require ressources (like BF4, Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed etc,) and an extremely good FPS (over 120) on low ressource-heavy games like Minecraft?
Money doesn't come so easy, and when I buy, I do not plan to replace sometime soon, so I want to make sure that the parts are not only good (which is strongly believe they are), but will hold up with the new requirements of games.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Jonathan
