How will my hardware hold up against the test of time?
So, with miners driving up the prices of computer parts, ESPECIALLY GPUs, i think it is fair to say that, at least for a while, I will not be able to drop the cash on the next flagship component flaunted by Nvidia or AMD or Intel or anybody. So, my question is, how will my hardware (that i managed to procure in the nick of time) hold up against the games to come until the newer stuff becomes less pricey? Here are my specs (I am very new to the PC gaming crowd so please do not crucify me if this question sounds stupid)

Somebody who knows more about the ins and outs of computers please help me on this one. Thank you for any replies...
 
Solution
Your laptop can keep up with latest games on current 1080p resolution about 5 years. Even more when you lower the in-game graphics.
