Hi guys, I'm going to buy a new gaming pc soon but i wanna ask you about the longevity of my new build especially the GTX 1060 6GB:

My build:
GTX 1060 6GB
Core i5-8400
RAM 16GB ddr4 2400 or 2666
Motherboard: B360

Well let's take the 1060 and i5 8400 as a guide, well can it support games for 5 years in average?

OF COURSE i know i will not be able to play games at ultra settings for 5 years but lets consider just high settings at 1080p 60FPS ... can it last for 5 years?

Note that we have 5 degrees of quality (low-medium-high-very high-ultra)

Thanks in advance
 
Solution
Most likely yes because the cpu getting on the market are improving so little each refresh (for gaming)and cpu manufacturer are having trouble with 10 nm tech. This is why a 5 to 7 year old i5 can still game decently nowadays (depends games, gpu ect.)

Thanks for your reply, so your answer was about the cpu, now what about the current gpu ( GTX 1060 6GB) ? can it last games for 5 years at high settings 1080p 60FPS ?
