How Long Will it Last

[SmurfLord]

I'm not new to gaming PC's. I've been looking at them in envy for several years, and now I've finally gone and bought one. It's top of the line, I'll list it in a moment, but I have a question. How long will it last until I will have to upgrade. I want to be able to get my max settings on games at 60 fps at at least 1440p. How long will it be able to do that before I have to upgrade? Here are the specs:

Case: NZXT Source 340 Mid-Tower- I wasn't really looking into cases that much, just got one that looks nice and does what it needs to do. It has enough room for maybe one more graphics card, however, when I upgrade, I'll probably take the case out and upgrade it as well, because there is barely any space left in there.

CPU: Intel i7-5820K Hexa-Core 3.30Ghz OCed to 4 Ghz- I decided to OC this by 20%, strictly because I know my cooling can take it.

CPU Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 280mm Liquid CPU Cooling w/Copper Cold Plate- My case fit it, so I decided to go ahead and get it.

Case Fan: Enermax Twister Pressure 120mm- Not your standard case fan, nothing amazing either, as the case only has one of them.

RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2800MHz- Actually, right now it's only 16GB. I'm adding 16 more in a few days, because my graphics card requires 24 to unlock its full power. Didn't do all my research.

Motherboard: ASUS X99-A- I don't really need to go into to much detail, it's a motherboard, in Rampage V, but it's not bottom of the line either.

PSU: Corsair RM1000- Pretty standard power supply, leaves lots of room for upgrades when the time comes.

Video Card: EVGA Titan X Hybrid 12GB GDDR5 RAM- I know what you're all thinking. Yes. I bought a Titan. I wanted the prestige. Also, I did think it through. The Hybrid has a liquid cooling system on it, for those of you who don't know, and comes OCed, but I can easily push it much farther than the base speeds without worry.

A year from now, you will be wanting the newest and greatest CPU's and Video Cards.

 

[SmurfLord]

Inherently, yes I will want them. However, will I need them to play the latest triple A games at 1440p?

 

[MarkW]

No, but you will go buy a 4K monitor, and then you will want more horsepower.

 

[SmurfLord]

I like your style. I may actually do that. Ok, even at 4k, how long can I reasonably expect for the games I plan to be playing to stay at the 60 fps mark on this build (Include medium-low settings). I do know how fast technology is advancing, but surely I have at least 2 or 3 years right?

How long will it last?...well that's up to what type of gamer you are. There or those who are happy playing older games at 720p on a 5 year old machine. And then there are those who see the latest components and must have them.
Personally I would get at least 5 years out of your system. Sure new games will come out that require more powerful gpus, but you can always turn the settings down a little.

If you are willing to make do with not the best and not the greatest, your system can easily last 3-4 years. But I do agree with MarkW. With your thirst for prestige and the extraordinary, I wouldn't be surprised if you went and purchased a 4k monitor. Even though your system can handle itself for quite awhile, it's likely you will upgrade it in a couple years time.

Thanks for the responses guys! I'm sure I will most likely upgrade it before then, however, just wanted to know how long I could use it if I could hold off that thirst for prestige.
