I5 4590 + GTX 950 it is then.

How long will an i3 last?

I'm getting the i5 4590. That leaves us with around 20k for the GPU.

@PredatorRules Umm... the build does not have a GPU currently.

Now I don't even know which build we were following, that's why I asked to propose a build again.

Also, in what order of preference would you place the three monitors I linked earlier?

@Coseniath @PredatorRules What if I increase the budget to 90000PKR? What changes to the build would you suggest?

Thanks, I get that now.

Will the 4590 be good enough for the next 5-6 years?

@Coseniath Still don't understand. What are you suggesting? Which one should I get?

What I'm trying to do here is get a gaming PC which will last me while I'm in college, which btw is 6 years. Now, no PC lasts that long, since games keep becoming more demanding. So I'm thinking setting up a better base will help the PC last that time by a simple GPU upgrade a couple years from now. I was even thinking of getting an i5 6500 + H110 mobo at one point. Got rid of that idea because it was adding around 8000PKR more to the budget.

Please suggest a build that would let me do what I just stated.

@saintsatan@MonsieurX Keeping Jarir aside for a moment, what's the best laptop for around $800. Amazon links will do fine. I'm thinking of getting it shipped through a service youshopweship.com

@Coseniath What'll happen if Intel does release such architecture?

And what's the difference between an IPS and other displays?

If I build it to last 5-6 years, would the 4460 be fine or should I go for the 4590?

If I keep the PC only for 3 years, the 4160 should do okay, right?

I'm thinking the upgrade route would be better. What's your opinion?

@Coseniath@PredatorRules@GTR12@insane_metalist Here's what I have currently:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CPU: Intel Core i5 4590 = PKR 21500 (Galaxy)

Mobo: Asus H81M-E = PKR 5300 (Galaxy)

RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB 1600MHz = PKR 5000 (Galaxy)

HDD: Seagate 1TB = PKR 5500 (Galaxy)

GPU: (Not yet decided) = PKR 9990-10390

Case = Corsair 100R Windowed = PKR 6000 (CZone)

PSU: Thermaltake Smart SE 530W = PKR 5500 (Galaxy)

ODD: Asus DVD RW 24X = PKR 1880 (CZone)

Monitor: (Not yet decided) = PKR 15500-15900

Speakers: Logitech Z150 = PKR 1950 (CZone)

Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech MK120 = PKR 1480 (CZone)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haven't decided on the monitor and GPU yet. But the budget left for the GPU is around 10k. Wonder what I should cheapen out on...

I chose the 4590 over the 4460 because the difference was only PKR2000.

What do you say?

Now I have a dilemma: should I stay with this build for the next 5-6 years and only upgrade the GPU and add more RAM after 3 years? Or should I keep it for the next 3 years, then sell it, and buy a new PC altogether? Which one would be the better, cheaper route? I have another set of questions based on the answers to these questions.
