I would be playing at 1080p at mid-high with a bit of AA,is that combo capable of playing new games for next 2 years?

I'm so fed up and annoyed wait for amd to release something.I don't understand their buisness.Frankly i would rather go i5/gtx760 but that's about 200$ more expensive here.

760 is based on existing NVIDIA Kepler design i.e. similar renaming trick as AMD's 7970 GE = 8970 7950 BE = 8950 --- Incoming AMD VI uses 9000 model series.

Should last you two years. The Tahiti model is also a great overclocker... Or so I've heard.

I probably not going to OC neither cpu or gpu,mobo isn't that great.Plus i live in a mostly hot region. 

I'm not expecting ultra detail ofc but is fx6300/hd7870xt capable of something like 1080p on medium/high during next 2 years?

Oh for that it should last 2 years. With the exceptions probably being really CPU intensive games. But it is hard to tell accurately since we don't know how much of a jump it will mean for PC with the new consoles coming out.

What's more important IMO is will the next 2 generations of FX CPUs be AM3+ or FM2/new socket, and AMD hasn't said anything about it as far as I know. Even if Steamroller turns out to be a massive improvement (which I doubt), it won't mean anything for AM3+ owners if they are forced to change their motherboard and many of them will turn to Intel. And even the 2 generation old 2500K will last you more than any today's AMD. So when you calculate all that I think (sadly) that going with Intel is a better choice.
