i have core i5 3450@ 3.1ghz turbo speed to 3.5ghz will it be good for the next 3 years to play games at high settings i play weatch dogs with about 50-60% usage of it i have gtx 760 and 8gigs of ram all i care is cpu will it be good?
 
Solution
That CPU will not bottleneck a gtx 760. Not even in watch dogs. I run an i7 and 16Gbs of ram because occasionally my system does more than play video games and having the extra 4 threads from hypthreading makes it go faster.

Yes and No, some games are more CPU demanding than others, the GTX 760 should run fine with that i5 which is fine for gaming at 1080p , if you sacrifice AA and some ultra settings, that system will probably last 2 years tops. After that you are going to be lowering quality a bit.
