If I had the answer for that I'd be playing the stock market, not answering posts here. :D

Its hard to say. For now, it will play every game created thus far, very well. And for future games, for the next few years. Or until your current setup no longer meets the minimum system requirements for a game.

Nice way to answer a new member,

You'll be fine for a while, the only thing id say you might need to up a little is your Video card and a wee bit more memory, but you should be fine as Imperion says. And welcome to sysopt

Nice way to answer a new member.Now, now, it was a light-hearted answer. Anyone smart enough to amass that collection of components already has a sneaking suspicion how long it will be competitive and/or capable of playing the cutting-edge stuff.

They're also smart enough to know I meant nothing sarcastic about my answer. ;)

Should be fine for awhile, maybe 2 years.

Once the DX10 games hit the market we should know more, but personally I think you will be fine. :)

The 5400 is equal to around an E6300~6400 speeds. I'd say you're good for at least 2 years. Hopefully DX10 games won't be terribly snobish about the speed of your CPU.

BTW, the processor is very fast. It should run very well.

That CPU will also overclock pretty well, depending on what mobo you pair it up with. My Windsor 4000+ right now is running at 2.6GHz (5200+ territory) and there's plenty left to it yet. With an ASUS or Abit board, maybe Gigabyte, yours will be fun to play with. :)
