I'm trying to construct a computer that will get me through my high school years (four years) and maybe into college. Besides being able to do stuff for school (mainly what my SSD is for) I'd also like to be able to game at ultra settings at about 60 FPS, 1080p.
I might do an overclock on the CPU, but I'm not sure how that would affect it's longevity if I need it to last for four years.
This is my list of parts so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/WxDykT
The 2-pack 120mm fans are to replace the fans on the water cooler, as I've heard they can get loud. I plan on either mounting the cooler on the top or side of the case, leaving room for an optical drive and my hard drive (since the SSD has a spot under the motherboard). I just hope that the i7-5930K and the 1070 will work well together. My overall theme is blue and black, so I am planning on removing the fan cover on the GPU (not the fan itself) and spray painting it blue in engine paint. I already have the power supply, GPU, and optical drive, so I was planning on reusing them.
I could probably go a couple hundred dollars more expensive since this is meant to last awhile. Any suggestions, or will this work well?
