Hi I recently decided that I was going to build my first gaming PC, after looking at lots of YouTube videos and sticking within my budget I came up with these items to use,
CPU: Intel i5 4690k
Graphics card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 SuperClocked With ACX Cooler 2GB Video Card
Motherboard: MSI H97 Gaming 3 Intel LGA 1150 Motherboard
Ram: GEIL EVO VELOCE 8GB DDR3 (2x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Memory GEV38GB1600C11DC
I don't know a great deal about computer building but I thought this would be fun and would be a good set up for now and in the future.
Now for my main point, I went to my local computer hardware store for some advice and the guy in there told me that all of the above mentioned items would be obsolete in a couple of months. He described it to me that buying the above items was like buying a PS3 a month before the PS4 came out. Then I started getting confused when he was going on about DDR4 Ram and new types of chipsets and motherboards.
The question I want to ask is, will the items in the build above be useless in a couple of months or was the guy at the store just trying to sell me some over the top expensive new items?
Any help on the build and really how future proof it is would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
