Will this system last a couple years?

[imwithstupid118]

Looking to upgrade to this for a gaming/programming PC-
Asus P8P67 Pro
Intel i5-2500k
2x2gb DDR3 1600mhz Ripjaw X ram
EVGA gtx 460 1gb EE
550W Antec BP550 plus

I went with the P8P67 Pro because it has SLI capabilities incase I want to upgrade in the future, ontop of all the expansion options. Will this setup last me a good 2years+?

Also, I game at 1440x900 or 1366x768 and play games like crysis, WoW, and star craft II. Would like to play dragon age 2, TES5, and others games like that in the near future at medium to high settings.

solid good build but if SLIing in the future get this 700w ocz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018&cm_re=700w_ocz-_-17-341-018-_-Product (70 AR)

Rest looks good should be able to run stuff at max for about 3 years I'd say with a second gtx 460 added when they are liquidated

+1 for a more powerful PSU if you want to SLI, but that 700W version of OCZ is not a good performer,...

Get this XFX 650W PSU, a far better performer and has enough power for GTX 460 SLI,...

And like he said, it would easily last more with a graphic card update,...

If ya going to overclock, I'd put a Corsair HX or XFX Black Edition in there with a minimum of 750 watts so that you could add a 2nd 460 down the line. The XFX Black Edition 850 is a steal at $110 ... cheaper than the 750

To tell you the truth.. you really shouldn't look forward to SLI'ing because by the time you do want to upgrade, new stuff will be out and you get way better performance to dollar if you just buy a new video card. I'm just being realistic here..

+1

2 years from now Nvidia will have gone from Fermi to Keplar(2012) to Maxwell(2013)

To put things in perspective, Keplar will have 3 or 4 times more performance per watt than Fermi.

Maxwell will be even better.

And who knows what AMD will be putting out by then.

sorry about the ocz recommendation didn't read the reviews, for graphics I think that SLI should be once fermi is liquidated, that would be a smart upgrade path

SLI not really needed at chosen resolutions listed.....

Looks fine as is.....
