hi. i have a 7 going 8 years old i5 7502.66ghZ, along with motherboard and andyson 450w psu using a nzxt tower. how do i check the remaining lifespan of my components? i am looking to get a 900 or 1000 series gpu but i am unsure whether other parts need to be replaced because it's old already. kindly assist how do i go about upgrading. thanks.

Building a new computer when kaby lake or Zen launch

sadly there isn't anyway to check for components life expectancy. only through tools testing to determine if the product still good enough or not.

No room for upgrades. Prepare to get a new one. Get the 10 series gpu. Wait zen/kabylake see if you like it. If can't wait you can build now too as Skylake by no way is inferior.

an overhaul of everything? can the current stuff be sold for some cash or would no one want it and it's better to throw it away?

think super hard. u could try selling the entire rig for like 100-200 bucks? not sure about the used it stuff market though.

just build a skylake pc den. (like how u build your i5 750)

yes all these still can reuse. and upgrade your win 7 to 10 and link to your email account b4 moving. to skylake.

for old game like this 1060 build should be good enough. total budget 1k should be enough since no inclusive of hdd and ssd.
