I was wondering if my gaming build is good enough to last for at least 5 or 6 years maybe (Pcpartpicker.com already told me that these parts fit and work together). Specs below

Specs:
CPU - i3-8100 3.6GHz Processor

Graphics card - MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Gaming X

Memory (RAM) - Kingston 2x4 GB 2133 MHz

Expensive Asrock motherboard

650W Full modular power supply

1tb hard drive

256GB ssd




 
Solution
Recent AAA games are benefitting from more than 4 cores. I’d really try and go for a i5 8400 (6 cores) minimum if you want the cpu to last a long time.

That system looks fine to me for gaming. The only thing I would say is that 5-6 years without upgrading the GPU would mean modern titles in 2-3 years time would be hard to run. So budget for a GPU upgrade within that timeframe and drop it in when performance is below what you find acceptable.
 
That's pretty mid-range gaming system.
I'd upgrade ram to 16GB as soon as possible.

What's the model name of this "Expensive Asrock motherboard" and "650W Full modular power supply"?
