Yeah, it'll last (obviously depending on workload).  For the games you are playing it should last 5 to 7 years.  Obviously the battery will probably lose it's charge by that time and you'd have to replace that part.  Otherwise, it will last that long.

thanks!! I just want to try to clear up a myth that i have heard, is the HQ skew is a really that much worse of a processor than a 6700k?

Well, you're comparing a laptop processor to a desktop processor. Don't let the numbers fool you into thinking they're supposed to be equivalent.

Well I mean, it's a mobile CPU vs Intel's top of the line consumer CPU.  Of course it's not going to perform on par.  (Just like how the 980m doesn't perform on par with a 980).

Yes, the 6700k kicks the 6700HQ's ass.  But then again, I'd be kind of surprised if it didn't.  I wouldn't worry to much though.  It's not like it's a bad CPU.  Especially for mobile.
