I wouldn't upgrade that until either something breaks. However you might want to add an SSD to the mix.

Everything except the GPUs should last for the full generation of console ports. Only PC exclusives you may be interested in, may convince you to upgrade something.

 

I can't imagine a game in the next 10 years ever being hindered by a 3570K, unless it is specifically designed to do that. (Read: Crytek and their shallow drivel tech demos)

 

Maybe if you want to run a LAN Star Citizen dedicated server off your machine it'll chug. Maybe.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

A 7870 XT is no slouch, he can overclock them to pretty much 7950 performance.

 

You should be good for a while.
