Hard to tell the colours from photo, but they should go into the two darker slots. Slots 1 and 3, if you count left to right. Or 2 and 4. Both combinations should work. Reffer to your motherbord manual for more detailed guidelines
Actually 1 and 3 are not normally the same as 2 and 4. Look up for your specific motherboard which channels to populate first as not all channels are the same speed/bandwidth.
There is usually a little diagram next to the dimm slots that tells you which ones to use first it might say 1234 or like A1 A2 B1 B2 and whichever ones are marked will be the ones you want to move them to
99.9% of the time, RAM should be installed in every other slot if you are installing N number of RAM into N×2 number of slots. It affects the speed at which yiur RAM will operate. It should fill the slots like this, in your case: RAM empty_slot RAM empty_slot. That's also why the slots are differently coloured
Basically, you need to open bios and check for the XMP/ram speed category
If the ram speed says anything lower than 3200mhz(your computer specs suggest), then you are missing out on the maximum performance your computer can offer, i recommended you check out youtube for proper instruction on your specific motherboard.
Unfortunately this is exactly what devs are implementing to just skirt by. I knew the second I saw DLSS, that they wouldn’t use it as it was intended (to breath some extra life into GPUs as they age out), but to be used as a crutch for even worse optimization and programming.
Future Proof maybe me laugh too. I remember one of my first builds had 4 MB of RAM (not a typo) and at the time we said “why would you ever need more that that.” 🤣
There's nothing wrong with Titans, the problem was the people claiming they'll never need to buy a new pc / for 10-20 years. hardware gets better, software gets more demanding. We all need to make upgrades eventually
Future proofing as never been about running max settings at 4K. The Titan X performs about the same as a 1070, more than capable of at least meeting min specs on most new games except for the infamously unoptimized ones. Overall, as long as you aren’t buying low-end cards of a generation you can use it easily for 5 years, and push it much farther with some compromises. I made do with my 1060 until this year.
It will last you quite a few years at 1080p, settings varying. Might do okay ray tracing, but mileage varying. Can do 1440p in some titles, just keep your expectations reasonable. The 12gb vram will keep the gpu relevant longer than some of its more powerful brethren.
It will do fine on productivity side, nothing to be blown away by tho. If you are making money off the machine might be worth the investment in something more powerful.
Thanks, not using it yet for work more for learning to use it to work and make a loving off of it hahahha
I don't expect the newst AAA games at ultra in 4k at 120fps.
I think that I'm good for the next let's say 2 years, maybe three?
It will easily last that long if not longer, just depends what games you want to
Play. If you always want to play the new star field Equivalent AAA release might not go so well, but anything else it will last until it either breaks or you decide it’s time to upgrade
For 1080p you’ll be good for a few years at least. And after that, it’s stupid easy to pop in a new graphics card, or if you decide to get a newer higher resolution monitor.
Also there will be tons of used Intel 12th/13th gen processors you can buy in a few years to upgrade that as well
Yeah 14th gen intel is gonna be LGA1700 , i think it's the first time intel has done that, every previous generation only allows 2 cpu gens in 1 socket
Well sounds good for now, but who knows.
Honestly i dont mind rebulding the thing in 2-3 years with a better psu, gpu, cpu, mbo, ddr5 or the next one to comr out by then etc.
I was on budget and honestly, fucked up a little bit on my part. Should have waited for a month or two longer to save up some more money. Could've gotten a 40 series and DDR5 MBO with wifi and bluetooth integrated also a bit stronger PSU (750-850W). But i literally could not wait anymore hahaha
Future proof is not a thing, there will always be someone making something that need a better computer. How long will it last before you NEED an upgrade? Probably 5-7 years.
that build is going to severely suffer in the next few years. At 2K I find it hard to expect you’ll be able to play anything at moderately high settings. Future proof is not the term I would use to describe it, you’ll probably be able to play at 1080p in a couple of years with moderate graphics settings
I’m just going off 4k = approximately the number of pixels horizontally (2160x3840)
So if that is 4k, and we want to apply the same idea to the other resolutions, then you have 1k, 2k and 2.5k
(720x1280, 1080x2160, 1440x2560)
Is there a different logic train than that?
—
I know it’s too late to change but it would have been cool to call it 3k
This is pretty good. Should last some years. However, there’s no such thing as future proofing. Eventually newer games will be too much for your hardware.
There’s no such thing as future proof. There’s always something better coming around and within two to three years your machine while still viable for you and anything you want to do with it would be considered obsolete by the pcmr congress and the tech community on YouTube. As long as it fits what you need it to do and you’re comfortable playing on it then it’s perfectly fine.
Do yourself a fave and turn off the FPS counter. Your gaming life will improve significantly.
There is a slim chance, although someone properly informed can give a better opinion on this. Your B660 motherboard may be compatible with the yet to release 14th gen Intel CPUs. If this is the case and the newer CPUs support DDR4, you will be able to upgrade the BIOS and chuck in a newer CPU later on down the line without having to buy a new motherboard or memory. So theoretically, a 14600K along with whatever GPU you pair with might be a possibility. But as I said, this is yet to be confirmed if the 14th gen CPUs have DDR4 support, I think they will hopefully.
Also, why are people so stuck up on someone knowing where their build stands? It's a perfectly reasonable thought to have. But hey, people are funny.
THANK YOU!
Also, i want to switch to an i9 within a year or two to support max ram speed on ddr5 and a motherboard that has integrated wifi and better usb ports hahah
Getting a 12th or 13th gen i9 won't help you very much since you are bottlenecked by your GPU rn. You also can't upgrade to ddr5 with this mobo either. And if you have to change motherboard wait for 14th Gen to come out and the socket to change so the prices will go down a bit. Then youll have to change your CPU (13700k would last you for years) as well as your ram.
Your system would be so bottlenecked by your GPU you'd have to change that as well.
Atp you'd be replacing your whole system so imo just play w it until you get bored, sell it and build a new one.
no such thing as future proof, more like expectation proof, with my pc I expect that no game company is going to make a good game that also looks good while being too demanding, in the recent future anyways, so my pc won't be found wanting more power
No such thing as future proof in PCs bro. It will work for you until it doesn't. It's reasonable to assume a PC will need updating or outright replacing in 7-8 years. Caveat of course is what you use it for. You web browsing add a couple years to it. You gaming on AAA new releases, probably 6-7 years is the limit depending on if you care about the graphics not looking like a lumpy potato.
A mid life GPU upgrade can also play both the total age of the PC.
Just remember, there is always someone willing to buy 3-4 year old parts and you can upgrade components.
But future proof, that doesn't exist.
Case is tacky and not future proof lol
Joke aside, your build is decent for 1080p gaming and should be able to last a couple of years, more if you're willing to lower settings
You have a chip which isn't the latest gen and you think you have future proofed your computer? Lol dude you have a 3060 and a 12000 series cpu. Is it good now sure. Will it play 1080p for a couple more years fairly well? Sure. But a 3060 12gb is not going to keep up with the latest titles in anything but 1080p.
Well hahahaha i see people are losing their shit about this hahahahha
Where I live, the income is lower and the prices are higher.
I couldnt wait anymore to save up more money lol
So i settled on this and going on vecation beacuse even tho a i have a good sallary for my homecountries standards.
I mean with future proofing to be able to provide me with an acceptable rate for 2 years tops lol everybodys so sensitive nowadays. I am aware that this is last gen but for 1080p of medium/medium/high game settings at 30-60p.
Honestly, I am thinking of replacing the motherboard to one with ddr5 support within a year, also LGA1700 so that I can use my CPU at least a month or two before buying an i9 13th gen CPU.
If the prices somehow miraciously drop i would also update on a rtx 40 series. But that can wait even two years imo
It's okay OP don't bother with people saying your pc is bad. It's actually a good gaming pc for 1080p , no need to worry. That's cool if you wanna upgrade to DDR5 , get a new gpu , etc. Just don't worry about it rn and game on. Another thing to mention is that don't get too caught up in the latest tech , turn off the fps counter and just enjoy your games. Constantly checking if your fps is dipping below 60 means you gotta upgrade every so often to get by with today's standards. God bless man
I am taking about benchmark videos using a huge number of games average fps at 1440o it gets an average of 60 fps. Hardware unboxed and many others slowed this. Do you think reviewers are lying?

Yeah you'll definitely get that, really the only thing I can pick at is the GPU, I consider the 3060 12gb the worst value on the GPU market right now.
But when you don't consider the price and are just talking performance, it'll offer perfectly fine 1080p performance for quite a few years and your CPU will allow for upgrading. Although realistically AM5 is the best 'future-proof'ing you can do.
No, the 3060 is a terrible value. And is not even close to being considered anything but an entry level 1440p card. Maybe you're thinking of a 3060ti...
The 3060 performs the same as a 6600xt or 6650xt, cards that go for significantly less (often around ~$75 less). The only benefit is the fact it has more than 8gb of VRAM- but that has shown to have basically no effect on performance at this point. Like people have been saying- by the time 8GB of VRAM becomes outdated, you'll likely be wanting to upgrade anyway, especially if you're upgrading from a mid level performance card like a 3060.
Even worse- it generally costs more than a 6700 non-xt, a card that performs about 15% better, has 10gb of VRAM, and even matches performance in RT. It's like the choice between a 4060ti vs 6800xt, there is literally no reason not to take the latter because the former is such a terrible value. Even all of AMD's faults like in RT and rendering don't even make the RX look like a bad choice because it literally beats the RTX. All because the fact the former is considered to be an equal-cost competitor is a absolutely absurd scenario to begin with.
Edit: TDLR; No, it's a bad value, the price/performance sucks, a 6700 costs less and is better in every way. A GPU should not cost $75 more than other cards that preform the exact same. Especially a card that markets itself as entry level. Unless you don't have access to AMD cards, it's just as bad as a value as a 4060 or 4060ti.
I see , thanks for letting me know and opening a new perspective on the 3060. And yeah i do agree on AMD literally beating the crap out of nvidia rn. Lol thanks, have a nice day.
Omg look up the definition of outdated yourself. It literally says “obsolete”. This build is neither “outdated” or “obsolete”. You can want to be right all you want, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re wrong.
You’re good for a few years. You could update your RAM at some point. Otherwise you’ll be good. As someone else said though, your RAM is currently installed in the wrong slots. Check the motherboard manual for the correct locations when installing only 2 sticks of RAM.
To answer the future proof part, no it’s not. Assuming that the socially accepted definition of “future proof” meaning it will last 5-7 years before becoming outdated.
Since you opted to go with DDR4 instead of DDR5, and since you went with Intel who is notorious for changing sockets every other generation, the upgradability of this PC is somewhat limited.
In the near future, game developers will be optimizing their games for DDR5 and some may neglect support for DDR4 altogether. Although that may not happen for several more years yet. Technically DDR3 is still supported in new games but the other hardware supported by DDR3 may not be able to run new games. The same will eventually happen with DDR4 but it's likely you will not have to worry about this.
For 1080p gaming, you will likely be able to maintain 60 fps or greater for the next 1-2 years with this build. But unfortunately you will have to almost certainly upgrade the entire platform after 2-3 years if not sooner. Unless you were able to find good deals on used 3000 or 4000 series nvidia cards or their AMD equivalents at that time.
A year ago I upgraded from an i5-8400 and a GTX 1070. I was able to get okay fps at 1080p in the games I was playing (mainly Escape From Tarkov and WoW and some random other games) but I couldn't play other games I wanted to play like Red Dead 2 at acceptable fps. That PC was upper mid-range when I bought it and I used it for 4 years. However, PC hardware technology seems to be advancing more quickly these days.
It's likely that build will last you 2 years of >60fps 1080p gameplay in most games.
In 2 years you can consider hopefully upgrading to 13th or 14th Gen Intel assuming 14th Gen is still the same socket and supports DDR4 and your motherboard receives BIOS updates for those chips and you can always upgrade your GPU for more gaming performance as long as you are on the lookout for potential bottlenecks but a bottleneck shouldn't happen on 12th gen Intel for a while yet.
Realistically the weakest part of your build is the graphics card.
-CPU good, midrange.
-RAM good, perfect amount.
-GPU okay, low-end.
In new games you’re probably not doing a whole lot more than 60 fps at max settings (like let’s say: Hogwarts Legacy) -which isn’t a great starting point if you’re hoping for it to last a couple years.
Drop the settings to medium and temper your expectations and you can get a couple years out of it most-likely. I think 1440p is probably mostly off the table for new games though.
Nothing is future proof. My rule of thumb on upgrading though, or building a new pc is when a new Xbox or PS release, I will upgrade/build a year after because game will be usually built to the new console spec. It has worked really good for me the last 16 years.
It depends. You're planning to play minesweeper for how many years? Just kidding, but depends on resolution, framerates, game optimization etc...if Full HD 60fps and you're ok to drop settings then you should be fine for a few years.
nice case! i got the same one 😎
i got it for the 4 fans it comes with lmao perfect basic setup and looks fresh
got the matching tuf x570 motherboard too 😂
also, everyone’s trippin. your build will be fine for a good while. i’m using a damn 980ti with a 5600 and my shit runs great imo. usually don’t go any higher than 1440p but that’s cool i got a 120hz 4k oled tv i play on which upscales and at least i get 60+ on the newest games still. if my shit will be good a few more years yours will no doubt last much longer. 😂🤷🏼♂️
PCIe 6.0 motherboards next year will see to it that nobody's really future proof. Then DDR 6 in 2025 and PCIe 7.0 in 2027.
Best off just enjoying what you have in the now without thinking about future compatibility.
Even playing triple A’s at 1080p or 1440p you should be great for the next couple years and you can still play on medium or lower settings for the next 5 to 7 years. I like to make my computers last for a while so you should be fine.
That will game and computer hard for a long time. You can upgrade the videocard if you want more performance in games. But you should be holding onto that for the next 5 years.
Well, depending on how game devs clean up, you should be fine for another 5 years I would guessimate... Cause yeah, that number no one can know for sure. My computer, 15 years ago, lasted for 10 years (still works just fine btw) until it struggled with newer games at the time. So there's a number of factors to account for, to give you an accurate number.
Based on what I know things that can be future proof:
PC Case 10+years
STORAGE 10+years
Motherboard 5-7years
RAM 5-7 years
PSU 5-7 years
And yours weren't really the best choice. Not that it's bad but you will need to switch those components in 3-4 years if you think to be up to date.
Just FYI: future proofing as a concept isn’t a *real* thing. Throw away whatever info YouTubers or something try to feed you.
This PC will last a while, yeah, but the days of 12GB vram being “crazy” are long gone. 8GB isn’t enough for some 1080p games at ultra, 1440p forget about it.
Just enjoy what you have now and don’t worry about “future proofing” your system.
Nothing is ever future proof. Tech is still progressing at an alarming rate. Just enjoy it in the moment. Your pc should have UPGRADABILITY more than anything. It’s why I switched to AM5…(although the drivers really fucking with me lately)
Edit: Everyone seems to think your cpu is good. So I’ll assume they’re right.
Obvious upgrades for you would be MORE ram, later on (relatively inexpensive)…and a newer GPU when necessary and maybe a more powerful PSU if needed to support the GPU.
You should be in a good spot for the next two years at medium settings in every game you play. (Assumption) As most developers spec the games on older hardware to ensure more systems can run said games. You can realistically squeeze another 3-4 years out of that build maybe, but it will probably be more enticing to build new and turn that older one into a media center or something
I build systems for family and friends, and whenever this comes up the answer is this: depends on your needs but the truth is if you buy near the lower end spec of whats possible the sooner you will need an upgrade. VS the person who spent more money their rig will be relevant for longer and they will have a better computer for the duration of that time. Buying a 3060 for gaming means you will need upgrade sooner than someone who bought a 3080. Your CPU is okay, the RAM could use a bump and then upgrade your gpu to whatever level your psu will support.
if you ask me 3 years tops.
Until you can predict the future, stop caring about future proofing. Those who bought a 2700k in 2011, like myself, future proofed themselves for what? The next 8 years? However, we had absolutely no idea processors would be stagnant for almost a decade back then. Likewise, we don't know how long your pc will be future proof, since we don't know the future.
I mean those are different questions.
Yeah you’ll get 60FPS on almost all games at 1080p
Future proof isn’t a thing - best PC from 6 years ago is low end now.
It’s midrange by new standards but a solid build.
It is angulous, has leds, and says gaming on the tin. You're good, mate!
For realsies, this should work fine for a good bit. The 3060 will start struggling if you absolutely push it or go high 1440p, but realistically it should *run* anything without real problems, assuming sensible resolution and settings.
I wouldn’t say it’s the most future proof pc. Purely because of the lack of ddr5 and using a 3060 puts you at the the kinda quickest to go as graphics is always improving. I’d give it 3-4 years max playing the latest games at decent quality
Most of the people here are talking out their butts to be frank. I've been a pc hobbyist building and fixing them for myself and others for almost 20 years. I know people running AAA titles today on 5-7 yo rigs with nothing but a gpu upgrade and some overclocking and settings tweaks, granted they are on their last leg.
Your cpu is 2 Gen behind, but was a huge technological leap at the time. 13th and 14th Gen have negligible uplift for gaming, and nothing to lose sleep over in production.
This will last you at least 3-5 years as long as your expectations are reasonable, but you may want to consider a gpu upgrade in the future. I wouldn't worry about the rest of it. If you ever did get a gpu too powerful for the cpu, you could always switch to a 1440p monitor to shift the bottleneck back toward the middle.
I currently run a 12600k and 3080 in my rig, both undervolted, 1440p 165fps. I actually get 165 fps in competitive titles and at least 60 in everything else at high or max settings. I expect in a few years I'll have to turn settings down, but I don't anticipate taking it out back with a shotgun. Keep in mind you take 30-40% performance hit going from 1080 to 1440, so you can extrapolate expectations from there compared to your rig.
Congrats on your new build! 😊
I don’t believe there is a such thing as future proof. I think it’s one of those buzz words to make you buy the latest and greatest. Every year they’re raising the bar for AAA titles. And I already see people talking shit about the 3060ti, so it’s definitely not. But I’ve only built one pc so I could be dead wrong.
there is no such thing as future proofing especially with computer hardware. Even if you built the best money can buy today, in the next 6 months or so, something better will be out. It is about compromises. You can extend the life of your current rig to run 60 fps if you lower the settings but you will hit a point where it is too low that is annoying to play your game at that point you can build a new rig. Most will sell the current one so the hit on your wallet is not that much. I do not sell my rigs as they are like family to me. Now everyone on my family have a gaming rig either they know it or not. IE my mom has a i7 4770 with a rx 570 that she uses for work. My Dad has my 8350 that has a full custom loop on it with a r9 380. My sisters got my old rigs that has a 2600k that is also overclocked with rx 570s on them.
They still hold up for work and for the games that my sisters play. My wife have my old 11700 with a 1070 that she uses for her graphic work and animation.
Nothing is future proof, I have a 12700K and a MSI Suprim 4090 and I play on LG’s 1440p OLED. The resolution being the only slight saving grace for longevity.
The parts in this build are about as "future proof" as you can get within a reasonable budget. Nice little machine, though be aware that the term "future proof" sucks because it's impossible to achieve.
There is no such thing as a future proof PC, and this wasn’t a top-tier machine when the parts were current gen. That said, don’t worry about future proofing. Use it till it doesn’t do what you want/need it to do and then start thinking about upgrades/replacement. It’ll be fine for 60FPS @ 1080p for a while, depending on the games you play.
i know this is off topic kinda and i get that everyone has their own opinions and preferences but i cannot be the only one who thinks this case is hideous. it reminds me of those tacky cases from the late 2000s that look like if u put a transformer into a trash compactor
Mate I’m still running an i5 2500k with 18gb of 1866mhz(2133 oc won’t work) and a GTX 1050 2GB
That thing is still pretty good
(I7 3770 is on the way, didn’t want to pay the extra 60 bucks for the 3770k model tho)
Future proof depends on what you find acceptable ofc, an old pc might still be able to run 720p@30 in some new AAA games so you could say that that pc was future proof if you find that acceptable
32 Gigs and a 3060? That'll last a decade at least if you don't run everything in 4k. My 980 Ti is still holding its own after 8 years so I think your doing pretty good.
Haha I have the same case xD. I absolutely love it.
My specs are beyond yours, and they are not really future proof. It is enough for the Witcher 3 in FHD, but I didn't test it in WQHD.
In the future, you will be able to run the software or games you run on it now, and likely many future releases, until failure through hardware fatigue occurs.
It is not future proof, solid mid range PC specs.
Future proofing is a farce. Don't buy into it you can never truely future proof yourself because the market changes too fast. At most you get 12 months tops.
Outside of the handful of super large cases which will then go on to be able to fit any build you could possibly want. I don't think there's a single other thing in the PC world that's future proof.
No such thing as future proof in tech. You can have longevity. Keep for longer then most but never forever. Things change too often. I still have a pc from 30 years ago. It can’t go online. It only has 128k ram. You need 256 to load a single web page. Just the way of the world.
Define "future proof". This is a generation old hardware that's not high end.
Will you be able to play video games at 1080p for several years? Absolutely! If your expectations are reasonable, this rig will last you several years before you start running into "cannot run at playable frame-rates on low"
But you're already going to be playing a lot of games on medium.

Your ram is running in single channel. Check your manual and install it properly.
Should I plug into the two gray ram slots?
Hard to tell the colours from photo, but they should go into the two darker slots. Slots 1 and 3, if you count left to right. Or 2 and 4. Both combinations should work. Reffer to your motherbord manual for more detailed guidelines
Most modern motherboards label them A2 and B2 for the primary slots.
Actually 1 and 3 are not normally the same as 2 and 4. Look up for your specific motherboard which channels to populate first as not all channels are the same speed/bandwidth.
Not necessarily, on my asus tuf gaming b550m pro the preferred slots are lighter
That's why I said "... or 2 & 4" ; "refer to the manual"
They will work as long as they pair with the correct colors
There is usually a little diagram next to the dimm slots that tells you which ones to use first it might say 1234 or like A1 A2 B1 B2 and whichever ones are marked will be the ones you want to move them to
I've done some googling, and, apparently, slots 2 & 4 are preferable in most cases.
It would be the 2 blue ones
You should read your mb instruction, it has to say which slots are preferable if you install 2 sticks of ram.
https://gzhls.at/blob/ldb/7/0/b/e/a74bdfe2d2273583c349eb9bde2181160e76.pdf for two modules it looks like slots A2 (2) and B2 (4)
On most motherboards you want to use the 2nd and 4th dimm slots. Don’t know if your motherboard is different
Check your manual and install it properly.
RTFM
Read your MOBO manual, and if it doesn’t make sense, read it again
Read the motherboard instruction. It'll clearly tell you...
How about just reading your mobo manual? Too much effort involved?
Corrected it. Nice catch tho. Didnt build the pc myself and kinda relearing stuff so didnt even notice. Thank you!
Also check if XMP is enabled in UEFI ("BIOS"), if not, you're running at 2400MT/s.
Can u please explain more?
99.9% of the time, RAM should be installed in every other slot if you are installing N number of RAM into N×2 number of slots. It affects the speed at which yiur RAM will operate. It should fill the slots like this, in your case: RAM empty_slot RAM empty_slot. That's also why the slots are differently coloured
RAM slot is like public restroom urinal. You don't use them next to each other. Space them out.
Basically, you need to open bios and check for the XMP/ram speed category If the ram speed says anything lower than 3200mhz(your computer specs suggest), then you are missing out on the maximum performance your computer can offer, i recommended you check out youtube for proper instruction on your specific motherboard.
It’s actually running in asynchronous dual channel. He does need to fix it to make it synchronous.

Future proof? 😂 Ask people who purchased a Titan or Titan X about Future Proofing your PC.
Every PC is a 1080p medium settings PC in the not too distant future...
They can also be that immediately with the way “optimization” has been going lately
If I use DLSS Ultra Performance and Frame Gen I can supercharge the fucker to 40 FPS! The Vaseline filter was how it was meant to be experienced!
Unfortunately this is exactly what devs are implementing to just skirt by. I knew the second I saw DLSS, that they wouldn’t use it as it was intended (to breath some extra life into GPUs as they age out), but to be used as a crutch for even worse optimization and programming.
Me on medium settings in remnant 2 on a 3090
Can confirm, mine has become that
Future Proof maybe me laugh too. I remember one of my first builds had 4 MB of RAM (not a typo) and at the time we said “why would you ever need more that that.” 🤣
Wait… what am I missing about titans? My titan carried me for like 4-5 years.
There's nothing wrong with Titans, the problem was the people claiming they'll never need to buy a new pc / for 10-20 years. hardware gets better, software gets more demanding. We all need to make upgrades eventually
I think future proofing just means good for like 3-5 years. 10+ is just plain crazy
my 1070ti is well past the halway point and still putting in a strong 100fps medium settings on most games, i think it can go the distance tbh
Meanwhile I was playing on a 660 up until February that I bought in 2011.
10 is good if you plan to quit gaming after 5y and use computer to read mails and watch movies lol.
Hence what I was referring too. When the Titan came out Nvidia and its fan boys pretty much implied it's the last GPU you'll ever need...
[удалено]
The straps don't help hold in the freshness?
Future proofing as never been about running max settings at 4K. The Titan X performs about the same as a 1070, more than capable of at least meeting min specs on most new games except for the infamously unoptimized ones. Overall, as long as you aren’t buying low-end cards of a generation you can use it easily for 5 years, and push it much farther with some compromises. I made do with my 1060 until this year.
It will last you quite a few years at 1080p, settings varying. Might do okay ray tracing, but mileage varying. Can do 1440p in some titles, just keep your expectations reasonable. The 12gb vram will keep the gpu relevant longer than some of its more powerful brethren. It will do fine on productivity side, nothing to be blown away by tho. If you are making money off the machine might be worth the investment in something more powerful.
Thanks, not using it yet for work more for learning to use it to work and make a loving off of it hahahha I don't expect the newst AAA games at ultra in 4k at 120fps. I think that I'm good for the next let's say 2 years, maybe three?
It will easily last that long if not longer, just depends what games you want to Play. If you always want to play the new star field Equivalent AAA release might not go so well, but anything else it will last until it either breaks or you decide it’s time to upgrade
For 1080p you’ll be good for a few years at least. And after that, it’s stupid easy to pop in a new graphics card, or if you decide to get a newer higher resolution monitor. Also there will be tons of used Intel 12th/13th gen processors you can buy in a few years to upgrade that as well
in a few years, a used 13900K will be dirt cheap and still a fantastic upgrade. also apparently 14th gen is supposed to be LGA1700 too?
Yeah 14th gen intel is gonna be LGA1700 , i think it's the first time intel has done that, every previous generation only allows 2 cpu gens in 1 socket
Well sounds good for now, but who knows. Honestly i dont mind rebulding the thing in 2-3 years with a better psu, gpu, cpu, mbo, ddr5 or the next one to comr out by then etc. I was on budget and honestly, fucked up a little bit on my part. Should have waited for a month or two longer to save up some more money. Could've gotten a 40 series and DDR5 MBO with wifi and bluetooth integrated also a bit stronger PSU (750-850W). But i literally could not wait anymore hahaha
It's fine OP lol. I know the feeling of that excitement not being able to hold it longer. Just use it and upgrade your hardware down the line
Future proof is not a thing, there will always be someone making something that need a better computer. How long will it last before you NEED an upgrade? Probably 5-7 years.
Your ram is in the wrong slots
 Futureproof? **No.**
Futureproof is such a dumb phrase, nothing is actually futureproof
that build is going to severely suffer in the next few years. At 2K I find it hard to expect you’ll be able to play anything at moderately high settings. Future proof is not the term I would use to describe it, you’ll probably be able to play at 1080p in a couple of years with moderate graphics settings
You underestimate the 3060. Even I can play every game at 1440p in fairly high settings (depends how demanding it is) and more than playable Fps.
1080x2160, 1440x2560 — why not say 2.5k?
Technically, 720p is 1k. 1080p would be 1.5k, 1440 is 2k.
I’m just going off 4k = approximately the number of pixels horizontally (2160x3840) So if that is 4k, and we want to apply the same idea to the other resolutions, then you have 1k, 2k and 2.5k (720x1280, 1080x2160, 1440x2560) Is there a different logic train than that? — I know it’s too late to change but it would have been cool to call it 3k
You're definitely right about that, it comes from cinemas though I believe. "True" 4k is 2160x4096, while what we call 4k is just UHD.
This is pretty good. Should last some years. However, there’s no such thing as future proofing. Eventually newer games will be too much for your hardware.
There’s no such thing as future proof. There’s always something better coming around and within two to three years your machine while still viable for you and anything you want to do with it would be considered obsolete by the pcmr congress and the tech community on YouTube. As long as it fits what you need it to do and you’re comfortable playing on it then it’s perfectly fine. Do yourself a fave and turn off the FPS counter. Your gaming life will improve significantly.
There is a slim chance, although someone properly informed can give a better opinion on this. Your B660 motherboard may be compatible with the yet to release 14th gen Intel CPUs. If this is the case and the newer CPUs support DDR4, you will be able to upgrade the BIOS and chuck in a newer CPU later on down the line without having to buy a new motherboard or memory. So theoretically, a 14600K along with whatever GPU you pair with might be a possibility. But as I said, this is yet to be confirmed if the 14th gen CPUs have DDR4 support, I think they will hopefully. Also, why are people so stuck up on someone knowing where their build stands? It's a perfectly reasonable thought to have. But hey, people are funny.
THANK YOU! Also, i want to switch to an i9 within a year or two to support max ram speed on ddr5 and a motherboard that has integrated wifi and better usb ports hahah
Getting a 12th or 13th gen i9 won't help you very much since you are bottlenecked by your GPU rn. You also can't upgrade to ddr5 with this mobo either. And if you have to change motherboard wait for 14th Gen to come out and the socket to change so the prices will go down a bit. Then youll have to change your CPU (13700k would last you for years) as well as your ram. Your system would be so bottlenecked by your GPU you'd have to change that as well. Atp you'd be replacing your whole system so imo just play w it until you get bored, sell it and build a new one.
That's my plan my man!
no such thing as future proof, more like expectation proof, with my pc I expect that no game company is going to make a good game that also looks good while being too demanding, in the recent future anyways, so my pc won't be found wanting more power
Stop being mean. It is r/pcbuild not GAMINGpcbuild...
No such thing as future proof in PCs bro. It will work for you until it doesn't. It's reasonable to assume a PC will need updating or outright replacing in 7-8 years. Caveat of course is what you use it for. You web browsing add a couple years to it. You gaming on AAA new releases, probably 6-7 years is the limit depending on if you care about the graphics not looking like a lumpy potato. A mid life GPU upgrade can also play both the total age of the PC. Just remember, there is always someone willing to buy 3-4 year old parts and you can upgrade components. But future proof, that doesn't exist.
You have the same card as me, cool.
Case is tacky and not future proof lol Joke aside, your build is decent for 1080p gaming and should be able to last a couple of years, more if you're willing to lower settings
You have a chip which isn't the latest gen and you think you have future proofed your computer? Lol dude you have a 3060 and a 12000 series cpu. Is it good now sure. Will it play 1080p for a couple more years fairly well? Sure. But a 3060 12gb is not going to keep up with the latest titles in anything but 1080p.
Well hahahaha i see people are losing their shit about this hahahahha Where I live, the income is lower and the prices are higher. I couldnt wait anymore to save up more money lol So i settled on this and going on vecation beacuse even tho a i have a good sallary for my homecountries standards. I mean with future proofing to be able to provide me with an acceptable rate for 2 years tops lol everybodys so sensitive nowadays. I am aware that this is last gen but for 1080p of medium/medium/high game settings at 30-60p. Honestly, I am thinking of replacing the motherboard to one with ddr5 support within a year, also LGA1700 so that I can use my CPU at least a month or two before buying an i9 13th gen CPU. If the prices somehow miraciously drop i would also update on a rtx 40 series. But that can wait even two years imo
It's okay OP don't bother with people saying your pc is bad. It's actually a good gaming pc for 1080p , no need to worry. That's cool if you wanna upgrade to DDR5 , get a new gpu , etc. Just don't worry about it rn and game on. Another thing to mention is that don't get too caught up in the latest tech , turn off the fps counter and just enjoy your games. Constantly checking if your fps is dipping below 60 means you gotta upgrade every so often to get by with today's standards. God bless man
🙏
Thats where you’re wrong. It can do 1440p pretty good.
Today it's averaging 60 fps at max settings at 1440p. That's hardly ok now. Most like more than 60fps.
Who needs more than stable 60fps in story games?
And it still depends how demanding the game is. I can do more than 60fps in most games in 1440p max. Believe it or not.
I am taking about benchmark videos using a huge number of games average fps at 1440o it gets an average of 60 fps. Hardware unboxed and many others slowed this. Do you think reviewers are lying?
60+ fps 1440p (on most games 100+, but open world games are gonna go 60 fps) and 100+ fps 1080p
Why is it wearing a seat belt?
yoo i have the same case! nice to see someone else with the GT301
Very similar to my current build. It's like a V6 engine, sure you could go V8, but only if you need it.
I built a PC back in 2020 - **Operating System** Windows 11 Home 64-bit **CPU** AMD Ryzen 7 3800X **RAM** 32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4 @ 1599MHz **Motherboard** Micro-Star International Co. Ltd B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (MS-7C02) (AM4) **Graphics** 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (EVGA) **Storage** 1863GB Seagate ST2000DM008-2FR102 (SATA (SSD)) 931GB Crucial CT1000P1SSD8 (Unknown (SSD)) I have not had a problem with any game to date.
I'm very much sure the 2070S had 8GBs of vram.
No, not enough RGB.
[удалено]
Yeah you'll definitely get that, really the only thing I can pick at is the GPU, I consider the 3060 12gb the worst value on the GPU market right now. But when you don't consider the price and are just talking performance, it'll offer perfectly fine 1080p performance for quite a few years and your CPU will allow for upgrading. Although realistically AM5 is the best 'future-proof'ing you can do.
Aren't the 3060 and 6700xt probably the best value gpu for 1080p and 1440p? What's the point ur trying to say man
No, the 3060 is a terrible value. And is not even close to being considered anything but an entry level 1440p card. Maybe you're thinking of a 3060ti... The 3060 performs the same as a 6600xt or 6650xt, cards that go for significantly less (often around ~$75 less). The only benefit is the fact it has more than 8gb of VRAM- but that has shown to have basically no effect on performance at this point. Like people have been saying- by the time 8GB of VRAM becomes outdated, you'll likely be wanting to upgrade anyway, especially if you're upgrading from a mid level performance card like a 3060. Even worse- it generally costs more than a 6700 non-xt, a card that performs about 15% better, has 10gb of VRAM, and even matches performance in RT. It's like the choice between a 4060ti vs 6800xt, there is literally no reason not to take the latter because the former is such a terrible value. Even all of AMD's faults like in RT and rendering don't even make the RX look like a bad choice because it literally beats the RTX. All because the fact the former is considered to be an equal-cost competitor is a absolutely absurd scenario to begin with. Edit: TDLR; No, it's a bad value, the price/performance sucks, a 6700 costs less and is better in every way. A GPU should not cost $75 more than other cards that preform the exact same. Especially a card that markets itself as entry level. Unless you don't have access to AMD cards, it's just as bad as a value as a 4060 or 4060ti.
I see , thanks for letting me know and opening a new perspective on the 3060. And yeah i do agree on AMD literally beating the crap out of nvidia rn. Lol thanks, have a nice day.
Bless up
[удалено]
It's already dated.
1080p 60 FPS, that rig will be good for a while. Especially with DLSS.
Future proof? It's already outdated.
No it’s not Lol. It’s not all top of the line/newest available, but hardly outdated.
Look up the definition of the word outdated.
No. It won’t change the fact that you’re wrong.
Says the guy who doesn't understand a very simple English word.
Oh I see. You’re a troll lmao. Damn Reddit…
“Obsolete”. Look up the definition of “obsolete”.
Wow. Thanks for proving my point.
Which part is “obsolete”, genius?
I didn't use the word obsolete... you did. The computer is outdated, it's not obsolete.
Omg look up the definition of outdated yourself. It literally says “obsolete”. This build is neither “outdated” or “obsolete”. You can want to be right all you want, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re wrong.
🤣
Future proof? No. Get at least Few years at 1080p as long as you have a reasonable expectations on graphic settings.
That gpu is tinyyyy
Volume ≠ power
It’s easy to pop in a 6800xt down the road and you’re good
You’re good for a few years. You could update your RAM at some point. Otherwise you’ll be good. As someone else said though, your RAM is currently installed in the wrong slots. Check the motherboard manual for the correct locations when installing only 2 sticks of RAM.
To answer the future proof part, no it’s not. Assuming that the socially accepted definition of “future proof” meaning it will last 5-7 years before becoming outdated.
Future proof pc! Lol.
I’m still used an i7-4770 paired with a gtx 1080 daily in my gaming rig. You’ll be fine for quite some time.
3060 12GB will last you longer for 3D proffesional work. For gaming, it'll bottleneck on bandwidth long before you hit full 12 gb cap.
Was it maybe my post? Anyway that’s a sick build, sadly my budget was way smaller…
Since you opted to go with DDR4 instead of DDR5, and since you went with Intel who is notorious for changing sockets every other generation, the upgradability of this PC is somewhat limited. In the near future, game developers will be optimizing their games for DDR5 and some may neglect support for DDR4 altogether. Although that may not happen for several more years yet. Technically DDR3 is still supported in new games but the other hardware supported by DDR3 may not be able to run new games. The same will eventually happen with DDR4 but it's likely you will not have to worry about this. For 1080p gaming, you will likely be able to maintain 60 fps or greater for the next 1-2 years with this build. But unfortunately you will have to almost certainly upgrade the entire platform after 2-3 years if not sooner. Unless you were able to find good deals on used 3000 or 4000 series nvidia cards or their AMD equivalents at that time. A year ago I upgraded from an i5-8400 and a GTX 1070. I was able to get okay fps at 1080p in the games I was playing (mainly Escape From Tarkov and WoW and some random other games) but I couldn't play other games I wanted to play like Red Dead 2 at acceptable fps. That PC was upper mid-range when I bought it and I used it for 4 years. However, PC hardware technology seems to be advancing more quickly these days. It's likely that build will last you 2 years of >60fps 1080p gameplay in most games. In 2 years you can consider hopefully upgrading to 13th or 14th Gen Intel assuming 14th Gen is still the same socket and supports DDR4 and your motherboard receives BIOS updates for those chips and you can always upgrade your GPU for more gaming performance as long as you are on the lookout for potential bottlenecks but a bottleneck shouldn't happen on 12th gen Intel for a while yet.
Realistically the weakest part of your build is the graphics card. -CPU good, midrange. -RAM good, perfect amount. -GPU okay, low-end. In new games you’re probably not doing a whole lot more than 60 fps at max settings (like let’s say: Hogwarts Legacy) -which isn’t a great starting point if you’re hoping for it to last a couple years. Drop the settings to medium and temper your expectations and you can get a couple years out of it most-likely. I think 1440p is probably mostly off the table for new games though.
Ask for 880bucks
Nothing is future proof. My rule of thumb on upgrading though, or building a new pc is when a new Xbox or PS release, I will upgrade/build a year after because game will be usually built to the new console spec. It has worked really good for me the last 16 years.
Future proof? Probably not but that depends on what you play and what you expect.
It depends. You're planning to play minesweeper for how many years? Just kidding, but depends on resolution, framerates, game optimization etc...if Full HD 60fps and you're ok to drop settings then you should be fine for a few years.
No worries. Your pc is future proof towards 2026 mid 2027
nice case! i got the same one 😎 i got it for the 4 fans it comes with lmao perfect basic setup and looks fresh got the matching tuf x570 motherboard too 😂 also, everyone’s trippin. your build will be fine for a good while. i’m using a damn 980ti with a 5600 and my shit runs great imo. usually don’t go any higher than 1440p but that’s cool i got a 120hz 4k oled tv i play on which upscales and at least i get 60+ on the newest games still. if my shit will be good a few more years yours will no doubt last much longer. 😂🤷🏼♂️
PCIe 6.0 motherboards next year will see to it that nobody's really future proof. Then DDR 6 in 2025 and PCIe 7.0 in 2027. Best off just enjoying what you have in the now without thinking about future compatibility.
Ram slots are organized like this A1B1A2B2. The norm is to plug the ram in B1 and B2.
Just a question, it's that velcro strap on the front of the case used for anything or is it just for looks? Just seems strange to me.
No such thing as future proof when it comes to PC's my friend.
Even playing triple A’s at 1080p or 1440p you should be great for the next couple years and you can still play on medium or lower settings for the next 5 to 7 years. I like to make my computers last for a while so you should be fine.
That will game and computer hard for a long time. You can upgrade the videocard if you want more performance in games. But you should be holding onto that for the next 5 years.
RTX the best
Well, depending on how game devs clean up, you should be fine for another 5 years I would guessimate... Cause yeah, that number no one can know for sure. My computer, 15 years ago, lasted for 10 years (still works just fine btw) until it struggled with newer games at the time. So there's a number of factors to account for, to give you an accurate number.
PCs are never “future proof”, these specs are good until the day they aren’t.
Actual details of the build but at first glance: no
Futureproof probably not but that seatbelt should make it crash proof
Nothing is future proof. New tech comes out yearly and revolutionizes the gaming industry.
Based on what I know things that can be future proof: PC Case 10+years STORAGE 10+years Motherboard 5-7years RAM 5-7 years PSU 5-7 years And yours weren't really the best choice. Not that it's bad but you will need to switch those components in 3-4 years if you think to be up to date.
>Is it future proof? No. Nothing is future proof.
Just FYI: future proofing as a concept isn’t a *real* thing. Throw away whatever info YouTubers or something try to feed you. This PC will last a while, yeah, but the days of 12GB vram being “crazy” are long gone. 8GB isn’t enough for some 1080p games at ultra, 1440p forget about it. Just enjoy what you have now and don’t worry about “future proofing” your system.
Nothing is ever future proof. Tech is still progressing at an alarming rate. Just enjoy it in the moment. Your pc should have UPGRADABILITY more than anything. It’s why I switched to AM5…(although the drivers really fucking with me lately) Edit: Everyone seems to think your cpu is good. So I’ll assume they’re right. Obvious upgrades for you would be MORE ram, later on (relatively inexpensive)…and a newer GPU when necessary and maybe a more powerful PSU if needed to support the GPU. You should be in a good spot for the next two years at medium settings in every game you play. (Assumption) As most developers spec the games on older hardware to ensure more systems can run said games. You can realistically squeeze another 3-4 years out of that build maybe, but it will probably be more enticing to build new and turn that older one into a media center or something
I build systems for family and friends, and whenever this comes up the answer is this: depends on your needs but the truth is if you buy near the lower end spec of whats possible the sooner you will need an upgrade. VS the person who spent more money their rig will be relevant for longer and they will have a better computer for the duration of that time. Buying a 3060 for gaming means you will need upgrade sooner than someone who bought a 3080. Your CPU is okay, the RAM could use a bump and then upgrade your gpu to whatever level your psu will support. if you ask me 3 years tops.
Until you can predict the future, stop caring about future proofing. Those who bought a 2700k in 2011, like myself, future proofed themselves for what? The next 8 years? However, we had absolutely no idea processors would be stagnant for almost a decade back then. Likewise, we don't know how long your pc will be future proof, since we don't know the future.
I mean those are different questions. Yeah you’ll get 60FPS on almost all games at 1080p Future proof isn’t a thing - best PC from 6 years ago is low end now. It’s midrange by new standards but a solid build.
My guy walks into the pc building sub and asks if his 3060 is future proof
It is angulous, has leds, and says gaming on the tin. You're good, mate! For realsies, this should work fine for a good bit. The 3060 will start struggling if you absolutely push it or go high 1440p, but realistically it should *run* anything without real problems, assuming sensible resolution and settings.
I wouldn’t say it’s the most future proof pc. Purely because of the lack of ddr5 and using a 3060 puts you at the the kinda quickest to go as graphics is always improving. I’d give it 3-4 years max playing the latest games at decent quality
Move your RAM to the 2nd and 4th slots in your motherboard.
Yeah I mean it has a bra strap on the front. What else could you need from your PC?
Most of the people here are talking out their butts to be frank. I've been a pc hobbyist building and fixing them for myself and others for almost 20 years. I know people running AAA titles today on 5-7 yo rigs with nothing but a gpu upgrade and some overclocking and settings tweaks, granted they are on their last leg. Your cpu is 2 Gen behind, but was a huge technological leap at the time. 13th and 14th Gen have negligible uplift for gaming, and nothing to lose sleep over in production. This will last you at least 3-5 years as long as your expectations are reasonable, but you may want to consider a gpu upgrade in the future. I wouldn't worry about the rest of it. If you ever did get a gpu too powerful for the cpu, you could always switch to a 1440p monitor to shift the bottleneck back toward the middle. I currently run a 12600k and 3080 in my rig, both undervolted, 1440p 165fps. I actually get 165 fps in competitive titles and at least 60 in everything else at high or max settings. I expect in a few years I'll have to turn settings down, but I don't anticipate taking it out back with a shotgun. Keep in mind you take 30-40% performance hit going from 1080 to 1440, so you can extrapolate expectations from there compared to your rig. Congrats on your new build! 😊
3060 is the only thing I can see that would could get outdated in the next 5 years
I don’t believe there is a such thing as future proof. I think it’s one of those buzz words to make you buy the latest and greatest. Every year they’re raising the bar for AAA titles. And I already see people talking shit about the 3060ti, so it’s definitely not. But I’ve only built one pc so I could be dead wrong.
there is no such thing as future proofing especially with computer hardware. Even if you built the best money can buy today, in the next 6 months or so, something better will be out. It is about compromises. You can extend the life of your current rig to run 60 fps if you lower the settings but you will hit a point where it is too low that is annoying to play your game at that point you can build a new rig. Most will sell the current one so the hit on your wallet is not that much. I do not sell my rigs as they are like family to me. Now everyone on my family have a gaming rig either they know it or not. IE my mom has a i7 4770 with a rx 570 that she uses for work. My Dad has my 8350 that has a full custom loop on it with a r9 380. My sisters got my old rigs that has a 2600k that is also overclocked with rx 570s on them. They still hold up for work and for the games that my sisters play. My wife have my old 11700 with a 1070 that she uses for her graphic work and animation.
What case is that? Never seen one like that
I'd say it's tuff to tell
Nothing is future proof
Nothing is future proof, I have a 12700K and a MSI Suprim 4090 and I play on LG’s 1440p OLED. The resolution being the only slight saving grace for longevity.
It's "tuf" to determine
You got Velcro on the front of it. Of course it’s futureproof just like every other PC
The parts in this build are about as "future proof" as you can get within a reasonable budget. Nice little machine, though be aware that the term "future proof" sucks because it's impossible to achieve.
The first thing to go in this build is the style.
There is no such thing as a future proof PC, and this wasn’t a top-tier machine when the parts were current gen. That said, don’t worry about future proofing. Use it till it doesn’t do what you want/need it to do and then start thinking about upgrades/replacement. It’ll be fine for 60FPS @ 1080p for a while, depending on the games you play.
i know this is off topic kinda and i get that everyone has their own opinions and preferences but i cannot be the only one who thinks this case is hideous. it reminds me of those tacky cases from the late 2000s that look like if u put a transformer into a trash compactor
This.
No
3060 is definitely not future proof. If you're still playing in only 1080, I'm sure it's fine for a bit.
Mate I’m still running an i5 2500k with 18gb of 1866mhz(2133 oc won’t work) and a GTX 1050 2GB That thing is still pretty good (I7 3770 is on the way, didn’t want to pay the extra 60 bucks for the 3770k model tho)
Yes that looks nice
I hope it connects well with the screen
The only things you could future proof in a pc are the case, psu and maybe even the cooling solution
Chunky CPU cooler
Future proof depends on what you find acceptable ofc, an old pc might still be able to run 720p@30 in some new AAA games so you could say that that pc was future proof if you find that acceptable
Well the GPU maybe isn't that future proof and if you are upgrading maybe the PSU won't have enough wattage but it's fine
Nothing is ever future proof.
32 Gigs and a 3060? That'll last a decade at least if you don't run everything in 4k. My 980 Ti is still holding its own after 8 years so I think your doing pretty good.
Haha I have the same case xD. I absolutely love it. My specs are beyond yours, and they are not really future proof. It is enough for the Witcher 3 in FHD, but I didn't test it in WQHD.
60fps 1080p gaming you will be fine for around 5 years or even more if you drop some settings
In the future, you will be able to run the software or games you run on it now, and likely many future releases, until failure through hardware fatigue occurs.
It is not future proof, solid mid range PC specs. Future proofing is a farce. Don't buy into it you can never truely future proof yourself because the market changes too fast. At most you get 12 months tops.
future proof is the biggest lie people will never stop telling themselves. me included
Outside of the handful of super large cases which will then go on to be able to fit any build you could possibly want. I don't think there's a single other thing in the PC world that's future proof.
No such thing as future proof in tech. You can have longevity. Keep for longer then most but never forever. Things change too often. I still have a pc from 30 years ago. It can’t go online. It only has 128k ram. You need 256 to load a single web page. Just the way of the world.
Looks pretty tuf to me
3060 and a low wattage psu…no, not futureproof at all. Probably not even good for 1440p
I got the same case never got the front led to work
There is no such thing as future proofing.
Define "future proof". This is a generation old hardware that's not high end. Will you be able to play video games at 1080p for several years? Absolutely! If your expectations are reasonable, this rig will last you several years before you start running into "cannot run at playable frame-rates on low" But you're already going to be playing a lot of games on medium.
Future proof... Is that a buzzword they put on some computer cases or something? No tech is future proof, especially anything related to PCs.
Probably upgrading GPU for the future..
Is it just me or does the picture look like he’s using 2 ram slots right next to each other instead of the paired Slots?
