Thanks!

[Djole123]

I'm going to say 5-7 years easily, maybe even a decade.

[PCGuy_5960]

It's up to you how long it will last... If you want the latest and greatest, it will last a year... If you are OK with not having the latest hardware around... Then it should last 4-5years at least 

[Herbz]

Yeah you wont be upgrading for 5-6 years at least!! I have the same cpu and will be buying 2 1080's very soon and I hope i wont be needed to upgrade for a long time!! thats gonna last you long time haha.

5-6 years easily, probably 7-8+ (10 years seems a little generous, still a very long time though).

EVERY POWERFULL. On 4k 4-5 year MAX

[Schrodingers Kat]

Very powerful in short!! It'll likely last you a good 4-5 years (here's to hoping sli support increases). The main thing you will be missing at that point is the new features of the new chipsets available (along with the new gpus as time goes on).

 

If I could make a suggestion to it, since you are going all out why use mx-4 TIM? Use something better like noctua nt h1 or Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut 

 

Also don't forget to get the new HB sli bridge, not the old ones. 

[PRTI]

You will surely not be running 144FPS on 1440p with games such as GTA 5

If your looking to run these type of games 144FPS will be hard to achieve...even in today's standards

I'll be honest im not actually building it myself. I'm building it via PCSPECIALIST because 1. I did not enjoy building my last pc due to a number of reasons. 2. i dont haqve anywhere near the money to buy this pc and its parts up front so im using finance where i pay over 4 years. BUT if i pay it all off in the first year which i will likely be able to do, its interest free. So it would cost the same as buying it up front but give me a whole year to get it together.

 

To answer your question, Mx-4 thermal paste is the only one they offer haha sadly

[themctipers]

 this will last you for a long fucking time.

hell, my i5 760 and GT 430 lasted me 5 years..

Mind sending me the parts and let me build this beast?

After all those baller specs thats a let down! Hahah ah well you'll get a good while out of it and if your not overclocking hardcore then the extra couple degrees the mx-4 will give you wont be all that bad.

tbf thats with AA set to max. at 1440p and with G-sync ill likely have AA lowered much more than that.

Id love to just give it all to someone else to build but t be honest my fav part of custom builds by companies is that they test lots before sending it and if it somehow doesn't work when i get it they will collect it fix it and bring it back to me over and over until its perfect. Plus similar support for a few years after that.

I'd suggest you not going full on overkill. As Linus said, buy the best thing you can comfortably afford.

He's quite right. Hardware is moving forward quickly. So just get something reasonable instead of throwing money and then not having enough to pay rent.

The GPU has completely died so it can no longer be used...and I can't be bothered trying to find a replacement GPU and then solder it back on

the monitor is broken

the cpu idles at 60c

the fan makes a noise

the hdd is duck taped together 

it barely runs bunsenlabs (lighter version of lubuntu which is a lighter version of ubuntu)

Everything's working perfectly (except the battery which was expected to be worn out)

My 2 core 2 duo laptops both have messed up GPU drivers... And Acer and Dell have horrible customer service for any thing old.

Not rly sure, but it's not lasting more than 30 mins.
