Whats up guys I'm new on the forums here I spend alot of time also on the PCPartPicker Forums. Anyways I've watched multiple benchmarks on these PC Parts and have researched them quite a bit. Funny thing is I've yet to build a PC I have used consoles alot more. I do plan on building this one soon though. How long would this last me? I've seen this build running metro last light redux at 1440p 50-60 frames.

well i think that is a seriuosly overkill build for what you will be doing but it should last you about 3 to 5 years if not more just after about 5 years you will not be able to play on Ultra settings in most games but have to turn it back to high or medium in some to maintain a 50~60 fps in them if they are very graphics and/or physics intenseive otherwise it might last you for more years than just if it lasts 7+ years be prepared that your HDD will die and after 10 years or so your SSD probably will too the rest of the build will be aOK for longer though.
