Nice rig

You could get another 2yrs out of that GPU.(even though it is 1.5yrs old already)

As for the CPU/MOBO combo, idk.. maybe 3-4yrs. I wouldn't push it though, if it would have been a Z77/Z87 chipset with IB/HW.. then I would say no doubt 4yrs.

I think he'll get more than that out of it... I think he has another 3-4 years with the latter years on high settings

He might, but im just thinking about HD4970s and GTX280s.

I wouldn't say 4yrs removed they can hold all games to high settings.

lol, I gotta say, it's difficult for me to even think about how long a CPU will last me (i.e. how long until I really needed to upgrade due to changing system requirements). I'm switching them out every 1.5 years, and the video cards maybe annually. I've been considering riding out these 7950s until nVidia 800 series releases, after which I'll look at the performance comparisons between that and volcanic isles. That's been my pattern with video cards, adopting the next generation about a year into its release (it's been all AMD cards for a while).

I really need to refrain from staggering my upgrades. I've been itching to do a full build from scratch.

yeah but think about it this way. You now feel better than your console counterparts. That's all that really matters.

You'll have one of the better PCs on here!

1. Coyote
2. LSUtoo
3a. Stout
3b. Lew
4. Bruce (I think you have the 8350 and 7950)

These are the top 5 of the current usual poster in here. I think puff would be third, but idk what he has anymore. I slowly upgraded to a top build, but then I started slowly declining

I see that you're on skype. I have some VRM overheating problems that I would like to try and solve if you could enlighten me.

You had some really sick builds over this last year. Then you would downgrade for formfactor then upgrade and backaround again.
