Question How long will my system last?

[KRCRAY]

Hi,

I currently have the following:

i7-7700k (Stock)
EVGA GTX 1070ti (Stock)
16gb Corsair LPX DDR4 2133mhz
CM Hyper 212 Evo
Asus H100M-R
CX550M Corsair PSU
500gb Crucial SSD
2 x 4TB WD HDD

How long can I expect this system to last in terms of gaming.

Well, i would give it around 3 years with good use or 4 max if you didn't damage anything by mistake.

The 7700k is still a beast same goes for the 1070TI.

People still play games on 4,5,6,7,8 year old systems. All depends on what you expect out of the system. If you will be looking to play at 8k resolutions at 340hz in 4 years, then no. If you are talking about new games at 1080 at medium settings, probably for a while. I had a first gen i7 system with an nVidia 460 card that one of my kids were using still running new games up till a year ago, that's about a 7 yr old setup before I sold it.

Why does it really matter though? When it starts not to do what you want it to do, look at upgrading then. Wondering/worrying about the future for something like a gaming system is a waste of brain power.
