I have been hearing all that a great thing about building a PC for gaming is that eventually if a part in your PC becomes outdated you can upgrade to a newer and better version. Since I plan to build a PC (specifically for gaming), what parts are upgradable in a gaming PC? In the future if I wanted to keep everything in my build the same but upgrade the CPU to a better one, is that possible? Also, any feedback, good or bad, on my build is appreciated. Thanks in advance for any responses!

I'd give feedback if I could see the build. :P

  

you can upgrade anything you want to

  

Yes, you can upgrade anything. Though if, say you buy an i5, and then in 4 years or so you want to buy the newest i5, you'll need to get a new motherboard as well.

I am so sorry lol http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qwL6dC there is my build and also if i wanted to upgrade to a new i7 would I have to get a new motherboard in 4 years or so?

I'm no expert on headphones and headsets... but I know you can get way better for that price. Go and ask the audio forum for some recommendations

Motherboard depends on the socket, so if you have the 4690K which has a LGA 1150 socket and you upgrade to the 4790K then you wouldn't need a new motherboard because it also uses the 1150 socket. 

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 Motherboard: MSI B550 Tomahawk RAM: 32Gb DDR4  GPU(s): MSI 6800-XT Case: NZXT H440 Storage: 4x 250gb SSD + 2TB HDD PSU: Corsair RM850x with CableMod Displays: 1 x Asus ROG Swift And 3 x 24" 1080p Cooling: H100i Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB Mouse: Corsair M65 RGB Sound: AKG 553 Operating System: Windows 10
