I'm hoping 5 years without OC but I brought the board to OC if needed through out the years.  

 

If there's a better Mobo within the same price range which would be better in performance without OC for a little then tell me Thanks

Should be able to get 5 years out of the motherboard, RAM, and CPU, HDD, SSD, and PSU, however its though to say how long a GPU will stay relevant.

[aezakmi]

depends on what you're planning to do with it but yeah 5 to 7 years maybe

[Mira Yurizaki]

I would argue that buying the i7-8700K to OC later isn't worth while and it may not even usefully extend its life far. Most people get it to around 5.0-5.1GHz, which is less than 10% better performance.

 

Will it last a while? Probably. But that really depends on how your requirements change over the next few years. Who knows? Maybe you demand more performance sooner than later.

@M.Yurizaki I have played on a budget pc my whole life. I don't care if after say 4 years I can no longer run Ultra but Mid-high 144hz 1080p. And for the i7-8700k I am purchasing it as a safeguard if I need it I can use the OC feature, but If I buy it and then need it say in a year after buying it then I would have to then go buy another.

Depends on your workload. If you gaming and video editing than I will say 10 years for the next upgrade.

-Moved to New Builds and Planning-

 

I would say 5 years before the GPU won't manage 1080p144, maybe 10 years minimum for the rest of the system.

@Crunchy Dragon I have no problem upgrading the GPU after like 3-4 years but will the rest of the system still do Ultra with a new GPU after the 4-5 years?

Just think about what your post is about and look through our subforums to find the subforum that best suits it, we'll move it if necessary.

@Crunchy Dragon Cheers again.

Nice Build!  Later down the road, you may need to play AAA games at lower settings.. no big deal

@Crunchy Dragon If I go with a 8600k and 1080ti will it be better (Future proof) and will I gain around the same performance?

8700K would be better for longevity. This is because a) it's the best CPU for gaming at this moment in time. b) has 6 more threads, will last longer as games get more demanding and require more threads.

 

You might get roughly the same performance if you overclocked the 8600K, but I'm not 100% sure. For a "future proof" rig, you generally want the highest end hardware since that has the highest chance of lasting the longest before going obsolete.

@Crunchy Dragon I decided to go with a 1080ti and i7-8700k. Can I keep it on 1080p or do I have to go to 1440p (Without bottleneck)

You can stay on 1080p, no problem.

[uReqt]

@Crunchy Dragon Sweet it's just an 100 pound difference between 1080 and the Ti version I thought why not!

@Crunchy Dragon To reach 144hz do I need a DVI cable or is it HDMI?

Dual Link DVI will support 144Hz, HDMI 2.0 will support 144Hz, and DisplayPort 1.4 will support 144Hz.

@Crunchy Dragon Well thank you very much. I have one last question with the Motherboard provided here : Is that a good choose? and will this run all fine STOCK ?
