i5 6500,gtx 950 gaming for next 3 years

[Weizmann]

Will an i5 6500,GTX 950 be good for gaming until 2018?

Who knows which games will be released in 2017,2018!? Try to atleast go for 960, or 970 if you can. (or maybe GTX 1070 why not?)

the CPU (i5 6500) yes, the GPU gtx950 is not very good, and games get more and more demanding
even using 950 for 2 years would be pushing it
it would ofcourse be possible, but you must expect to have to heavily decrease graphic settings, the older it gets
new GPU's are coming this summer, supposedly to be very cheap compared to performance, AMD especially is counting on taking the "budget" market, so if you havent bought the card yet, wait and see what happens in a few weeks
