[SOLVED] Gaming PC lifespan

[ceejaysurio]

Here are my specs,
i5 8600
gtx 1060 6b
16gb of ram
250 ssd
2tb of hdd
corsair 750

My question is, how long do you think this kind of PC will last for gaming?

Magic 8-balls says a while
my 9 year old gaming machine is starting to show its age.
CPU will be longest lived, the GPU can be upgraded easily.

955 black at stock, 8GB ddr3 1600, hd 7950.
this is the third GPU for this motherboard and CPU, started with a GT 440, went to an HD 6970, now with the 7950.
the motherboard, CPU, and RAM or the trinity as I call it will be around and with you a long time. the rest of the cast will need upgrading overtime.

A while! You’d have to replace at maybe 7-8 years to play demanding games. You should probably upgrade your graphics card in a few years however.

that really depends on your preference in regards to resolution, frame rate, and graphic presets. Your computer is perfect for FullHD gaming, but the card is not ideal for WQHD, and can't really do 4k. Your general system should be fine for maybe up to 8 years (hard to predict, we don't know that the future exactly brings in regards of gaming technology), but you might upgrade the video cards maybe once or twice in those 8 years depending on how and what you play.
