How long with this system last me?

[blackhawkgr3]

Hello guys,how long could this system last for pure 30fps for singleplayer games and 60 fps for online games even if i have to play at low?
I5 4690
8gb ram 2x4 dual channel
rx 570 4GB nitro+
I know there is a bottleneck but the only hard bottleneck game i experienced was battlefield 5 and i fixed it a lot by increasing resolution scale and changing settings to low that way over using the gpu instead of cpu.Playing at 60-70 fps stable at +160resolution scale and low settings.Sometimes falls to 40-50 when in total chaos.

Should last a while, but, like anything, no one can predict the future. I find I upgrade before I need it, but that's just me, I like to tinker.

Would it be okay for 2 more years perhaps? Considering the optimization to games is pretty ok?

Perhaps, consider this though, the 4690 and 570 are all ready a couple years older tech. I don't think they'll stop working, but I also can't see them playing AAA titles all that well in 2021. Though, they will most likely still handle some to most games at 1080p.

Your i5-4690 is your bottleneck in online gaming.

The RX570 will be good for 60fps 1080p gaming on medium-high settings for 2-3 more years. Have you read Tom's RX570 Review Benchmarks? Keep in mind they test all games on ultra settings for each resolution.*
AoTS = 46fps
BF1 = 76fps
Civ6 = 57fps
Doom = 124fps
GTA5 = 90fps
Hitman = 83fps
RoTR = 62fps
Witcher 3 = 66fps
(These are considered to be some of the most demanding games available today)

Not sure why you're turning the visual settings to low (that typically induces a CPU bottleneck). Also not sure what 160% scaling is referring to.

*While I can see why reviewers use ultra settings to benchmark games, it also is poisonous in that it gives readers a false sense of performance at reasonable detail settings. It's been shown many times that Ultra doesn't produce much/any visual improvement over High (even when analyzing still frames) but it comes at a significant performance hit.

Is there a huge bottleneck between the i5 4690 and the rx 570? Will it be playable?

1) The game has to be CPU-bound. Not all games are (in offline play). Online/multiplayer tends to be CPU-bound

2) The "bottleneck" (I hate that word) is a factor reduction of framerates compared to what you'd read on reviews. Toms tests quite a few games, so if you own any of them, you ought to be able to reproduce the test and directly see how much % less you are in fps compared to their top-of-the-line CPU.

I saw most of them and the only game i had significant fps loss was in battlefield 1 and battlefield 5 and i fixed it by increasing the settings.So if i continue doing that with any cpu bound game i could get a good 2 years out of this cpu before its trashed right?

Depends on your budget I suppose.
If you're CPU-bound, you'll see that lowering/raising visual settings won't significantly impact frame rates (hence why I recommend just doing medium-high settings in BF5)

Personally:
I don't play online multiplayer (I do play co-op games, but they tend to be less taxing) because I can't keep up with the "kids these days"
I have my i5-3570K overclocked to 4.1GHz on all 4 cores currently with my RX480 (1440p/48-144Hz FreeSync monitor)
I plan on upgrading my CPU+mobo+RAM around Thanksgiving 2019 since Intel will have their 10nm Ice Lake CPUs and AMD will have their 7nm 3rd gen Ryzen CPUs out by then.
