Is my computer good enough to stay with?

[Carson Kendrick]

Thanks guys for checking this out. Anyways I Will share with you my computer specs.
i7 4820k
Asus x79 deluxe
Gtx 770 sli (2) Asus oc
Patriot viper 1600mhz cl9
Corsair force ssd 120gb 250gb mass storage
H80i cooler.
7 case fans in alI (I have good airflow)
Corsair 400r case (pretty crap)
corsair ax850w psu
So my question is. Should I dump this thing and go x99 or something better or should this setup last me through hundreds of games and pretty excessive use. No extreme 3d crazy stuff just average gaming and entertainment and Photoshop and all of that. I will be doing a lot of minecraft server work.(if that changes anything) Dual booting and all of the nitty grittys. Will this last me? I want your opinion on this. Will I need to upgrade in the future?
Thanks guys

Your Pc is good, you will not need to upgrade for a while.
For server work you will need quite a bit of RAM, but for general gaming you are fine.

Everything needs upgraded in the future, you're probably overpowered for casual photoshop use, I would only consider i7s over i5s if the person is a professional level productivity level user, or for a hybrid of gaming and productivity stuff the FX-8350s, so you're fine where you're at. The SSD is a little on the small side by my standards, probably wouldn't have gone water cooling since air is just as effective for all but the most serious overclockers at a lower cost. Not a big fan of SLi/crossfiring 2 lower end cards vs buying one higher tier, but you're already there, so I wouldn't change it.

Corsair makes pretty decent cases I always thought, NZXT, Corsair, CoolerMaster (usually), and my new find DeepCool all seem to be very well made and solid, but in the end, a tower's quality factors somewhat, but they're simple in design enough that anyone with the desire can overcome build quality issues, its mainly a personal taste choice.

Yes, your computer is very good. The only area for improvement I can see (you don't list RAM capacity) is your storage capacity, I only see 120GB SSD and 250GB HDD, if that is enough room for all of your files then you are good to go.

If you want to run MineCraft servers then you may need a decent amount of RAM (8-16GB depending on other factors).

Every computer becomes obsolete at some point in the future, but this isn't there yet; depending on your usage I would say this could last for years and still be better than 80% of computers out there (most people just have basic computers to connect to the internet and type Word documents).

The biggest limitation you're going to have with running your own MC server is your own internet, (I've homeboxed Vanilla, Bukkit Vanilla, Magic World 2, Pixelmon and Hexxit) for example, I have Comcasts blaster infiniti something (they call it so many things I don't even know what it is), but its 25MB download, which is plenty but fine print (is true with every internet provider) only like 2 MB upload... So, realistically, on a vanilla server after 10 simultaneous players, you're internet just isn't going to handle it. As such, for homeboxing a server without a really strong upload speed, you're not going to have to worry about having more than 8GB RAM for vanilla, maybe 16 for something like Feed the Beast. But when you get into mod packs, you're talking even less users before your internet starts to crumble.

Sorry for some reason I can't reply. But I apologize greatly for my wrong wording. I ment I was going to be server work on minecraft. The server would be in another location. I would be working as an admin. Sorry about that.

Well, yea thats fine, you mean like running the panel for the server? Hell you could do that from your phone if you had to. When I ran Battlefield servers, and a member of my clan would text me or something say someone was acting up in the server, I would Teamviewer into the virtual box running the control panel with my Galaxy S4 and ban em from there, I imagine you could do the same with Minecraft, although I never had to. So sure, your computer is fine for that.
