So this is my computer that has come, if i do decide to overclock the GPU, how far should i take it due to my CPU not being overclockable? The 760 card came with nice overclocking software, making me think i may want to do it.

And also, could anyone explain how this CPU *Boost* Software works? Thanks

The GTX 760 is quite a power house for the price, but is only mid range.

 

I would say 2 years tops before you are struggling, but this all depends on next gen games.

I'm not really a big fan of mini ATX motherboards, especially since you can get an ATX Z87 asus board/mid tower case for the same price as the mini setup but actually get SLI support (which helps since you mentioned you wanted this sytem to last awhile).

2-3 years for maxing out games I reckon but there is no reason why you can't use that setup in 6-7 years time. I'm still using my setup from 2007.7MZ000

This would be my best bet, £4 over but delivery is decent since its all from the same place, and CPU, Motherboard & GPU are much better than in yours

Only downside is 4GB, but when everything else is cheap too, dont think 4GB RAM would stick out too much.

If it were me i'd stretch to budget to £450 to improve the Case, PSU and Ram though.

Im looking to see how long you guys think this will be fine to play the most uptodate games on medium+ graphics options.

Thanks,
