780 wont run 60 frames in star citizen at ultra right now, 4 years is too long. It depends on the games. The cpu should be fine for a while until games start using more than 4 threads (this wont be for a long time)

of course he won't run all games with 60 frames the whole 4 years .. but my optimistic guessing that he will be able to run most games with playable FPS on ultra for 3-4 years to come with the GTX 780.

as for the cpu remember that core 2 duo has lasted too many years running all games , i think and i hope we will be safe with i5 for a long time.

It wont make playable frames after 4 years on ultra but it will be on medium-low. The cpu isnt a problem
