Is this future proof PC? (For next 4-5 years)

[MDA1997]

I want to know if my current build is future proof for upcoming titles to play on high-ultra at 1080p, and for how many years will it last before I have to upgrade? And what should I upgrade next? I'm currently running Red Dead Redeption 2 on 75 average fps on ultra with some tweaks and other games are running on very good fps as well at ultra. I'm mentioning my PC Specs below so you guys can tell if it is good enough for the next 4 years atleast.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
GPU: MSI RTX 2060 ventus 6gb OC Edition
Motherboard: Gigabyte A320-m S2h
RAM: 16gb Crucial Ballistix Elite (8 X 2) at 2666 Mhz
PSU: Corsair VS650 watts
Display: ASUS VG258q 24.5 inches (165hz and 0.5ms)
Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma
Keyboard: Bloody B640 Mechanical keyboard
Headset: Platronics Gamecom Headset
Pad: Steelseries Qck+ Mibr edition
Casing: Corsair Carbide Spec-04
Fans: Total (4) 120mm fans, 1 preinstalled at front while the rest of the fans I added myself.

What’s your minimum FPS you need to get to consider it still good?

Anything around 65-70 is good for me at 1080p.

No such thing as future proof, we don't have a magic crystal ball that let us see into the future.

It will last you a few years. But if there's HUGE advancement in the CPU market within the next 2 years, it will be a bit dated.

 

IMO, it should be fine. You might want to upgrade the GPU somewhere down the line if you want to keep your 60+fps at 1080p (especially if you're not comfortable with reducing the graphical settings), but it should at least last you another two years, easy, considering what we know and how long game development takes.

Won't the new GPU bottleneck with this Ryzen 5 2600? What GPU should I get next if I went for it?

No way to know. It depends on what is available at that time and what your budget will be.

[SleepingGiant]

Upgrade to a beefier gpu.

 

Wait for the announcements of gpus this year. They are looking really good with the rumors and all

[1g0tSK1lz]

No way to know for sure, but the CPU could become a bit dated something like a high end ryzen 7 won't be outdated that quickly. As they already stated depends on the budget and the technologic advancement

A bottleneck is only one if you think it is one and you care about it. Sure you may not get the full advantage out of a high end card with your current CPU. But it's not like the game will run like dogshit. It will still be more than playable. Just, instead of getting 200fps, you may get 130 or something like that. It's not like you were rocking a low end CPU here. It's good enough for a while. Do consider that plenty of games are not as dependent on the CPU as they are on the GPU.

 

We cannot know what is coming for sure, but I would personally suggest you just wait and see instead of worrying over something like this. Start thinking about it only when you run into a game that doesn't reach the standard you've set for yourself and that you're unwilling to comprise on the visual quality.

I would suggest upgrading your mobo(maybe b450 or b550) and ram speeds

(3000mhz or higher)

 

For the cpu, i would suggest getting the ryzen 5 1600 af variant(2nd gen hiding as a 1st gen) for cheaper a price(if your contented with the cpu performance) 

They already have this PC. Instead of going with something similar, they are better off buying on the higher end. I'd suggest going the used route a year or two from now. Like a used Zen2 CPU or something. (whatever is best is within their budget at the time, would probably need a new motherboard too)

There isn't really such thing as "future proof" that's a no no on these here forums. We don't know what leaps games and technology will take in the next 4 years sometimes it can be very minor and sometimes huge, there is no way for us to know exactly how long your PC will last.

We can speculate, with a 2600 and 2060(non super) you'll probably be fine for 2 years or so, maybe need a GPU upgrade, but we don't know for sure.

You have a build that mainly consists of budget components, the a320 motherboard and low speed memory stand out. You'll definitely want to upgrade from the a320 motherboard to at least a B450 and a quality unit not just a cheap one, especially if you want to be able to upgrade to a better processor later down the road. The 2666mhz memory is too slow for Ryzen, I wouldn't use anything less than 3000mhz with Ryzen preferably 3200mhz if you can, typically it's only a $10 difference between 2666mhz and 3200mhz. The next major upgrade could be CPU or GPU it depends on what advances are made. I'd say the GPU may be outdated sooner than the CPU, but only time will tell. I'd say use them until something starts being sluggish then upgrade it.

You'll be fine for a while.

Spending money on the Mobo will gain exactly zero performance... Its the last thing i'd change personally. A 3600 would perhaps be worthwhile, depending if your finding the 2600 holding things up, but realistically just leave it alone and re-evaluate when its actually causing a problem.

It's not about gaining performance, in fact I never said it was.................... It's about quality of components. Using a low level budget a320 motherboard for a 6 core 12 thread processor is not the best idea, the VRMs on those cheaper motherboards aren't made to handle higher performance CPUs for long periods of time and if OP ever wants to upgrade the CPU which they will, they'll want to upgrade to a better board.

Alright bro, I'm planning to stick with this setup and see how things turn out in upcoming games. If it felt like the fps are going down and requires to lower settings, then I might sell this entire system off and move to the newest or most recent stuff according to upcoming time and situation. But right now it feels like everything is running perfectly. I was just worried about the upcoming games but seems like I got the answer. Thanks for the info.

3700x should be a good bet since nextgen console uses em... :I

IT DEPENDS

universal ans

 

yours is a mid range pc, 6c12t able to run everything at ease,

powerful gpu , being slowly replaced by new gen cards, eg infuture 2060 =3050ti =4050 etc  who knows

how do we know YOUR EXPECTATION in 5 yrs?

i understand what your saying, i just dont see the point in the expense. Run whats there until it needs upgraded or breaks. Instead of trying to build something that will last 5 years, run it for 2 and see where you are. Its very likely even the shittest board will run just fine with a 2600 or even a 3600. Infact if i were building a budget rig, i'd much rather do a 3600 and a £40 mobo, than a 2600 and a £80 mobo.
Who knows what will be on the market when he does finally decide to upgrade the CPU, he might just jump directly to AM5 for instance, meaning spending money to upgrade the board was wasted.

AM4 is going to be AMDs standard platform for the next few years, they've said so themselves. OP can do whatever they want, that was just my recommendation. I don't know if you read all the way through my post but I said exactly what you are, I literally said to use it how it is until something gets sluggish then upgrade/replace it.
