This gaming PC would have been about the best you could build in 2017 - at least, without overspending on an SLI setup. In PC building it's not always reasonable to expect even the best machines to remain relevant for longer than a couple of years, but this one hasn't only continued to perform for the last five years, it's going strong into 2023 and beyond!
