The CPU and RAM should last for the next 4-5 years. I have the same GPU, and I've been playing Wolfenstein and Watch_Dogs on Ultra...so it should last a couple years at best, more if you're ok with low settings on games in the future.

Shouldn't be any bottlenecking, and overclocking isn't possible (or at least, not substantial) with non-K (ie. i5 4570k is unlocked, i5 4570 isn't) with your CPU. But it also shouldn't be necessary unless you jerk it to CPU benchmarks. Otherwise, to me, the rig looks fine otherwise (though in the US, that rig would only cost about $450, $200 for the processor, $150-$160 for the GPU and ~$80 for the same RAM >.>).

I'll try to find them somewhere cheap, gonna most likely buy part for part.
Mobo and RAM first(and i can use them with the GPU and CPU i have right now) and GPU and CPU later.
And cause my monitor is 1280x1024 then it will last even longer.
I've been doing fine with a GT630 and G630 for 3 years.

EDIT: Can the PSU hold all of that awesomeness?

You've not mentioned a motherboard or case. Gaming will last about 2-3 years for current gen games. Worth the money, but I don't know how it'll look when motherboard is added.

The graphics card is a midrange choice and depending on your use, may end up being the bottleneck. If you're a casual gamer, it'll keep you golden many years. If you think watchdogs and battlefield 4 are just steps on a ladder, you will need better.

Overclocking depends on your PSU power rating and the cooling in your case. You will not be able to overclocking that CPU, but the graphics can (albeit limited with no extra power cables to feed it). I do not recommend for those with a budget.

The case that i would use is the one that i have right now and mATX mobo cause that only can fit in it.
And scratch the overclocking.

Anyways, mind if you help me around the mobo? I'll send you the options that i have in PM.
