How Will This Build Hold Up?

KyRiEiSaVaGe · Sep 18, 2016

I just want a general idea of how this build will hold for the next 2-3 years. I plan on using it for gaming at high to ultra settings but am completley fine with high settings.

CPU: i5-4460
GPU- Evga GTX 1060(SC)
RAM- 8gb of DDR3
Power Supply- Evga 500b Bronze Certified Power Supply
Storage- 1TB Hard Drive(7.2k SATA)

I have all the components here except for the 1060 and that power supply.

Is this system at least somewhat future proof?

Thanks for the HELP!

It's fine but unless you already got your ram I suggest going with a Skylake build (i5-6500)
Also the PSU is no good.
Rather go for a XFX TS/Core, a Corsair CX450m or a Seasonic unit.
An upgrade to more ram could be needed in a year or so, a ssd would be nice

That build should be able to last you a few years. I'd go for a slightly better PSU though. Going for one of the cheaper options isn't always a good idea. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html This list here gives your choice as a tier 3, meaning it's usable but you'd be better suited getting something else.
