I want a good graphics card that will last me at least 5 years. This card is superclocke dans that kinda gets me worried. I don't know a lot about graphics card but on its reviews some people said it dies to fast. What do you guys think. Also can you teach m how it works and the average life of a gpu. I'm making my first build and want it to last me through high school and college.

My build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Guled/saved/LbGnTW , also my budget is 950

Most gfx cards will last long after they're obsolete date. Overclocked cards will fail sooner but speculating on the time frame is difficult as it will depend on usage. Someone who games 24/7 in a hot environment would likely get less than someone who rarely stressed their machine. Someone who used their machine hard for an hour, shut it down, the used it again i.e. temperature cycling with also reduce the lifespan.

If you're worried about your card being superclocked either buy one that isn't or underclock it yourself.

I wouldn't worry too much though as you would probably want to upgrade before it expires.
