Dual core... Not a fan of dual cores for much of anything.

 

The 750 Ti is a great budget card, but three years is stretching "medium", even at 900p.

Its hard to say, I mean with that CPU and GPU you wont be pushing the limits of modern games graphics, but it should still run pretty well. My biggest concern would be that CPU, its on quite an old chipset and does not have a massive amount of grunt or threads to it, considering how multi-core optimized many modern games are it may start slowing you down in the future, due to its age straight swapping the CPU is kind of limited too.

Get more RAM at least 16GB so either 4x4GB or 2x8GB and get 2133-2933Mhz RAM.

CPU is Okey but i would recommend a 4 Core CPU or more

GPU is Okey but not that good.

Next 2-3 years? No, upgrade to a better graphics card maybe a 760, you can find good sales on them on Newegg, as stretching a 750 Ti for 3 years is going to be difficult. Also, a better processor, I would recommend an i5 4670K or i5 3570k, or you could go with an AMD FX 6300 or Fx8320.  And that means that you should probably upgrade your PSU, just for longevity purposes and stuff, probably 600+ watts.

 

EDIT: Your RAM is fine if you're just gaming or whatever, and 1600 MHz is perfectly fast. If you plan on having like 80+ tabs in Chrome like Linus or if you plan on heavy video editing or 3d modeling or something, then you may need to upgrade RAM. But othe than that, 8GB will be great for you. You can alway buy more later if you need to but 8GB is a good start. But seriously dude, wait a month or two to get two more paydays and you'll be good to get the parts we recommend.

I don't really think it's wise to go with a dual core........but that's just me.

I'll Upgrade my CPU in about a year...

 

To Quad-Core...

What? there have been many tests to show that higher speed RAM does not improve gaming performance. this is just one of them.

Also, There is not much benfit in getting 16gb over 8 gb for gaming.

It doesn't matter for Gaming... It helps in anything using the RAM< And what if the game need to use System memory the GPU RAM and MB RAM use different speed. 

and he want its to last for the future. DDR4 is coming this year.

latency is a bigger factor than frequency. besides, he said the next 2-3 years of GAMING.

 

And ddr4 will be so overpriced when it launches that it may as well not exist.

Hey,,,...

 

Between these yrs. I'll keep on upgrading my system...

 

Like After 8-9 months... I'll Upgrade my CPU... To a Quad-Core I-series...

 

And after Upgrading my CPU... I'll Upgrade my Motherboard to a high-end gaming board...

 

Will this be Enough or I should do more?...

 

Give me your suggestions...

 

Thanks...

After you upgrade your cpu and mobo, i would get a better graphics card, like a radeon r9 280, which will max out every game at 1080p.
