How will this build stand against future games that are coming out soon?
 


If your planning on playing future games like Crysis 4 or BF4 (Graphics Wise) it should be able to run them on Medium-Max settings. You could always Upgrade your GPU and CPU in the Future if the performance doesn't satisfy you in the future.
