Would an I5 4460 and GTX 970 last me 2years?

[ty0worrallo]

Hey,
I'm in the middle of building my pc build, I'm looking for something for average video editing and average gaming. I'm looking for max settings on 1080p for 60+fps which the 970 is powerful enough. I'm on a £670 budget however I've already purchased 16gb 2400mhz ram. The games I'll be playing are like cs, gta, fallout and a couple others. but I'm not rich I have an average job. So would these specs last up to 2 years?

i5 4460
Asus GTX 970
Asus z97-p
Western digital 1tb
corsair vengeance 2x8 2400mhz
corsair spec 03 case
EVGA 600w psu

Cheers!

Stay with i5 4460 for now. 970 is a decent gpu and should last in few years. Get an SSD?

Yes I will upgrade in future, but is the life span of an i5 4460 decent? I'm worried in having to spend more money. just under a year ago I build and AMD 8350 & 960 build and oh my god the 8350 died although it was looked after and I have no overclock so I will never purchase AMD again. but I know intel are better, I'm just curious of how good the 4460 is.

I have i5 4460 right now and it doing a fantastic job for me. If in the future I suggest getting a new mobo for 6th gen intel or 4790k. Getting another i5 is not really an upgrade

It's a great combo , but upgrade the very poor EVGA 600B.

Thank you, that's all I wanted to hear!

How about a Cooler master RS550?| https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-RS550-AMAAB1-UK-Performance-Modular/dp/B00FNCNWHI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1470453831&sr=8-3&keywords=550w

Only good Cooler Masters are the V series.

Get GTX 1060 .... better performance , 6G VRAM VS 3.5G ...

GTX 1060 is closer to GTX 980 !!

1060 is indeed faster than 970.

What about maybe 3-5 years 60 fps running medium settings.
