If we could predict the future, we'd be perusing stock market sites.
CPU - lack of K series is limiting here.
MoBo - generation older than CPU
SSD - has plenty of legs
HD - kinda slow already
Case - was great case in its day but a bit long in the tooth for a 7700 build
RAM, not sure what's up there ... dual channel board w/ 3 x 4GB ?
GPU - 1060 is fine for 1080p but EVGA SC / SSC is not one I'd pick. The EVGA VRM thing will hurt resale.
PSU - Sometimes users lave old systems here when we build new ones, I wouldn't reuse that PSU
If you stay at 1080p, I can see this PC in use thru mid 2020.
