I'm quite certain that you'll be fine for 5+ years at least. Skylake is only marginally faster than Devil's Canyon. Most people with an i7 920 which is 6 years old and it's still going strong.

I was playing games up to the beginning of 2014 with an overclocked Q6600. It was struggling the last couple years, but it was still hanging in there.

You also have an unlocked i7 which means you are free to overclock which should stretch it's usefulness out a little longer.
