So i recently bought a new computer and here it is its specifications :
GTX 1070 msi armor OC 8 g
i7 4790
16 gb ram (2x8) *i really don't remember its mhz*
motherboard gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H
600 W PSU
1 TB HDD
So my question is "Should i upgrade my computer in future?". I think i should change the processor , ram and motherboard next year or even 2020. So if i even start upgrading them should i upgrade my PSU?

Computers are like table saws. Unless you are cutting wood, you don't need one.

A computer is a TOOL.

So it comes down to what you need to DO with your computer.

Do you need to brag to your friends that you have the latest and greatest? Then you need to upgrade to the latest and greatest.

Do you play a game on a friends computer that is faster than yours and you need your computer to play faster? Then you -might- need to spend money upgrading.

Do you need to have your computer match the fastest benchmarks? Then you need to upgrade.

For most people, we wait until we can't DO something... I couldn't play two new games without heavy stuttering, so I upgraded my computer.

My advice is let your upgrade cycle follow your needs...

Until then, don't worry about the future.

If it doesn't do what you want then sure. For the time being a i7 4790 and a 1070 should be a pretty good pairing, I wouldn't be rushing to upgrade.

Make and model of the PSU you currently have? 600watts is more than enough for that system and a future upgrade.Assuming that is a decent quality PSU that actually makes 600watts. If it is some generic bottom of the barrel PSU then yes I would recommend you replace it.
