Hi guys, I'm building a gaming desktop and these are the parts I have picked.

I wanted to know if I can play AAA titles at ultra setting above 60fps for at least 2-3 years. Also, I would like to know if instead of the GTX 970, I opt for a 4gbDDR5 GTX 960, will it tremendously affect my performance? And instead of the i5 4590, can I use a i5 4460, and how much will it affect my performance?

Swap that GTX 970 to a R9 390. You'd be good to go with that for 2 years.

390 to replace that 970. 4460 is fine even a 4440 will be fine too. a good psu is one of the future proofing stuff tho so take a better one.
