I was thinking of getting a New GPU two generations from now, probably 2-3 years.
and the mobo/cpu in 3-4 years.
what is your plan?

Waiting is always the cheaper option. Go with what you need rather then want. Unless of course you've got the luxury to buy whatever you want and you don't have to worry about the billsOriginally Posted by Leethal
Thanks for the reply guys, made me reconsider my decision and upgrade when it makes sense.
no need to have the latest and greatest. For GPU i'm going with every two generations i.e. 780 to 1080
as for cpu and mobo i'm thinking maybe 4-5 years unless i get some serious bottle necking or crazy new tech comes out

All my other parts should still be fine, maybe add another 2tb HDD.

I went 5 years with my 3570K/ Z77 system,,started with a gtx 570,then gtx 670/then gtx 970
upgraded to 7700K/Z270 in febuary,,now I'm going 1080 or 1080TI,,black Friday or maybe later on
this was an expensive year cause I upgraded CPU/Motherboard
but I like to kinda keep it around a thousand$ a year on average
really watch the new releases,GPUs are always cheaper the first month or so
I picked up my 970 for 379$ plus warrenty and tax,,it was 429$ a month or so later
In 2020 the GTX 2080Ti will likely be able to hit 60-90fps@4K for games released in 2018-2020. Likely will hit 120fps+@4K with current games and earlier. There's a high chance you'll be fine if your needs still stay at 60fps@4K when you upgrade to the 2080Ti or whatever it will be called.Originally Posted by Leethal

well I upgraded from a 3570k to the 7700k ..TBH the only diiference I see in games is GTA5 runs smoother,my 3570k worked awesome but I had a few hicupps during gameplay,,nothing serious just noticable
