How long will this computer keep me going?

[sterdaly]

My specs are:

 

2x4 GB DDR3 1333 MHZ RAM

GHT T-H61 Motherboard (1 PCI-E X16 2.0 slot)

MSI GTX 1060 ARMOR 6GB VRAM

i7-3770 3.4GHZ CPU

600W 80+ Bronze PSU

1TB 7200 RPM HDD, no SSD

 

I recently bought the GTX 1060 and it's still shipping, didn't have the chance to use it yet, for how long will this system keep me going at 1080p high preset gaming?

Probably for quite a bit. RAM seems like a weird choice and no SSD is a bit barbaric, but other than that for 1080p gaming it shouldn't be bad (well maybe not at 60fps) for a good couple of years.

That would last you for about 2-3 years. For now you would get 60 fps and over currently but roughly 1.5 - 2 years you might have to turn the settings down to keep the steady frames. I would quote those for new games. You're good for quite a while.

It's hard to predict what hardware will be required for future games, but given the current trajectory of hardware development and software utilization it'll probably be suitable quite some time (3 years would not surprise me possibly even more).

Largely depends on what you do with it, it will handle mmo type games for the next....decade or so. It will do the latest and greatest for at least the next couple years if you're ok with nerfing the graphics a bit

For a while.

 

Get better RAM and non generic PSU

Throw in SSD and it should last for atleast 5-6 years like my old pc did (currently my home server)

[Princess Luna]

It will last a lot of years to come:

 

a GTX 670 can run 4k:

Thank you all for your replies.

 

This is a 4 year old build except for the PSU and the graphics card, which is why the RAM looks a bit weird and why there is no SSD. I'd like an SSD for a faster boot time and those games with long loading screens *cough* gta 5 *cough* but I spent all my money on the new graphics card so no upgrades any time soon. I'm glad it will last me for at least 2 years though, I don't mind some lower graphics anyways.
