resolution?

 

[skyeye933]

i play usually at 1280x720 or 1368x768 resolution on 37'' lcd tv.

Your GPU will do pretty decently at that resolution. System looks decent and balanced, and the 1055T is worth overclocking if able. Is your motherboard the asus m4a78lt-le or the asus m4a78lt-M le?

Do you own this system yet?

Don't worry about PCI-E 3.0, a 6850 won't lose more than ~1-2% (if anything) performance on a PCI-E 1.0 16x slot.

motherboard is asus M4A78LT-LE without the M. this is my current rig. I would like to know how long will this system last.

As all systems last, 3-5 years.

how long is a piece of string?

The 6850 will play all games maxed out at the moment @ 720p, the limiting factor in lower res is your cpu. You should definetely overclock it because it's an older and inferior architecture compared to Sandy Bridge, and a clock of 2.8Ghz is kinda low these days.
Buy yourself a new cooler and you should easily get to it 3.3Ghz.
