graphics cards get out dated way faster than any other part of a computer. not to say it wont last that long, because im sure it will survive it. but overall, gaming for that long you would eventually need to turn some settings down to keep playable framerates. with direct x 12 on its way soon, if the future games you play use dx12, you may be able to extend the life of that card even futher.

please don't get Zotac for a 980 ti. On a high tier card like that go with EVGA, Gigabyte, or MSI. Otherwise the components look good.

At 1080P yes...at 1440P probably, you may have to start turning things down in a couple years, at 4k...it's reaching it's threshold at 4k now. I still game at 4k but you don't get super high fps on every game.

EDIT: And yeah I agree with A12, don't get the zotac.

A GTX980ti will run decently at 4k.
Anything lower, and I would not worry about it.

As to Zotac, I don't know.
Exotic cooling seems to sell.
But if you have decent case cooling, even the lower priced stock blower cooler runs cool enough.

In terms of performance at similar price points: MSI > Gigabyte > EVGA
