Trying to build what basically a super computer for around $3,000. Tell me bros, how long do you think this would last me on 1080p gaming right now and eventually upgrading?

CPU-I7 4770K
MOBO-ASUS ROG maximus VII Formula
GPU- Nvidia GTA 980 SLI (2x)
Ram- 16 GB Corsair Dominator 4x4GB
Storage-2X 2TB western Digital hard drive
SSD- Samsung EVO 500GB
Raider Express PCIe SSD

I would say it can last for almost 3-4 years at least in terms of gaming just a bit of advice if you are playing on 1080p res you don't need to SLI 980 a single 980 is more than enough or even 970 would do the job and for the processor i7 4790k as there is not much of a difference performance wise between 4770k and 4790k but the cooling is much improved in 4790k Its your choice after all rest i would say its a solid build what about your PSU?
1080p with only 2 980s in SLI? A week maybe? I'm sorry, I couldn't resist 😛

You will be happily overpowered for years to come! Perhaps by 2020 games will be too graphic intensive for that rig at 1080p?
