You're considering selling a lot of items and upgrading your PC for 4K gaming with an HTC Vive. You're curious about how long it will last before needing a RAM upgrade, aiming to play at 1080p 30 FPS in ten years. It's a smart thought, but keep in mind the tech landscape changes quickly. What you're planning sounds solid, though—just make sure to check current specs and future-proofing options.

You won’t have to make a huge change all at once. Instead, you can improve gradually over time, just like most people do. This way, you avoid spending a lot all at once but instead add small amounts steadily. Things like the case, power supply, and CPU cooler usually don’t need to be replaced entirely—you can keep using them as they are.

Back then, the GeForce 8800 GTX and Radeon HD 2900 were still new, and most people didn’t play games on them anymore. Today’s titles barely run on those older cards.

That's understandable. I believe you'll do well with that.

Unlikely to receive additional mounting hardware for a decade.

It seems socket 775 connections remain functional with 115X adapters. AM2/AM3 may still work with AM4, offering durability through at least 2020. With some work, it's possible to keep it going for another decade.

Typically, a CPU lasts around 5 to 8 years before needing replacement. The GPU's lifespan is often tied to gaming performance and personal preferences regarding settings. For good graphics, aim for no more than 3 years, with a maximum of 5 years.
