is this a good parts list for longevity?

[null_faun4]

i am planning to keep a gaming computer for 5-ish years with only minimal upgrades and i put together a pcpartpicker list of what i would want to use

any questions/improvements?

depends on how you use them, the higher u overclock, the less it lives, and as well as how much you use it, if you keep it on, etc. It will probably last 5 years if u dont keep it on overnight

[RedWulf]

The ram is overkill, wait on the new gen of cards for that price, and get a more reliable brand for ssd such as a Samsung evo since 5 years is a decent life span for storage

[nskceaj]

If you want to keep it for 5 years and Upgrade it in the future........ Why arent you going for Skylake ?

[Sabroo]

I agree with the guys, get better ssd like Samsung 850EVO if yiu wan it to last at least 5 years. Maybe go for 6700K instead of 4790K. And I think you won´t need 32gigs of ram, it´s simply overkill.

if you want have for a while you should built it beautiful square space i mean you should probably go for something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DCsPbv

The thing is I'd also be doing video editing and streaming on this machine so that is why I feel like I need the 32gb of ram and the 4790k is cheaper than the skylake equivalent

Ahhhhhhh... No. Kinda. It's not optimal for sure. Here's why: 

• go skylake. In fact maybe even wait for zen and Kabylake. If you plan to keep a system for s long time, getting the newest is best. A 6600k would be fine. An i7 6700k if you feel like a bit more production like video editing 
• 32gb is wayyy overkill. 16gb is a good amount. I doubt you will ever need more. 
• That case, uh, is good if you like the style but there are better options. Look at the Define series from fractal or a 400c from corsair. If you want to save some money the NZXT s340 is good. Grab some fans to go. Tell me what your priorities are on sound and asthetic and I can reccomend somthing. 
• I feel like the 390x is nestled in the same place as the 980. It is better value to step up to a 980ti or a fury or down to a 390 or a 970. Also new cards are coming very soon. 
• I would grab a slightly larger SSD. Maybe 480gb or 240gb. Also go for a WD blue over a barracuda. 
• Go for a supernova g2 650w over that. 
• I'm not gonna pretend that I know much about that cooler other than you would be better off with somthimg higher end or just better for a more decent overclock to expand the life of your chip. Maybe a BeQuiet Shadow Rock 2 or a NHD14? 
• I feel 23" to be too small and 1080p to be idiotic for a high end GPU. Go for a 1440p 27" Korean monitor. QNIX has some good matte ones 
• I like the Azio mgk1 more than the BlackWidow. Also. The Steelseries rival 300 is amazing. 
• Sound? 
• Go to kinguin for a cheap Windows copy

I will have an updated list soon btw my budget is about 1400 dollars so keep that in mind as well and i already have a windows copy and earforce z11s

as long as it works and doesn't sound like a jet engine as well as it being  pretty cheap is an advantage too

(or look like an nf-f-12 )

How about going with something like that? It's Skylake, still 32gb of RAM, although it is overkill, and I would wait for the pascal equivalent of the GTX970 instead of buying the 390.

here is my updated parts list (the 390x is just a placeholder for the gtx 1070ti or the 490x when it comes out)

so with that being said i do not have any bias as to AMD over nvidia so i just took what i felt was the best option at that price point (see here: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-390X-vs-GeForce-GTX-970)
