How's My PC Build

1. Would This PC Last Me A Really Long time. I'll probably end up upgrading the GPU in late 2016 and the CPU, Mobo and RAM sometime in 2017. Would this build last me until then
2. Would the 970's VRAM be a problem for 1080p/60FPS in the future
3, Would this build be good for modding
4. any suggestions, I'm building this week

Thanks

Any reason for the Noctua cooler? If you're not doing high overclocking, there's much cheaper options available that will still cool your CPU and allow some overclocking. It is a very good cooler, but it is very pricey.

And I'd change out that PSU. The EVGA B series is not that high quality. An XFX 550W will be cheaper, still enough wattage, and much higher quality.

Other than that, it looks good. I doubt the 970's memory will be an issue; I still run 2GB on my 680's on relatively modern games with no big problems.

The PSU he picked is tier 2 made by Superflower.

Right; I mixed it up with the lower end B series. The B2 is indeed made by SuperFlower. I still think the XFX is the better choice for a single card system, though, simply because the price tends to be lower.

The Noctua is for heavy overclocking(which I forgot to mention)
The 750w is for future SLI which I also forgot to mention

Fair enough. Again, I don't think the 970's memory will be an issue for 1080p gaming in the next few years. Although if 1080p/60 is your goal, I don't understand why you're planning for dual cards, since the 970 should be able to handle 1080 very well for a few years.

Good Point, I just though the 750B2 was a good deal.
It gives me A Lot of headroom for overclocking and who knows, I might decide to start playing at 1440p which is where the second card would be handy. Anyways, Thanks A ton everyone

No problem 1440p is a good goal, so the 750W PSU should come in handy. Good luck!
