I do understand that what's awesome today won't be tomorrow but honestly I'd like a bit more longevity than 5 months. I'd like to be able to run max settings on games for I think a year would be a realistic time frame in my budget.

I do enjoy fps games like Destiny 2 and Cod. I also like games like the GTA V and sim games. I would also be doing some simple picture editing, nothing approaching a pro scale, just family things. I'd like it to last a year or so before I'm wanting to upgrade something minor and maybe last 2 years before I want to upgrade a major component of it.

I'm a console guy, what's a frame rate? Should not be too difficult to wow me.
Frame rate is the number of times the images on the screen get updated per second. A higher frame rate means a smoother experience. Coming from consoles you'll be fine with 60fps and 120fps+ will blow you away. This system is capable of delivering 120fps on high settings for Destiny 2 and COD MW. Yeah you'll have to "suffer" with lower frame rates with some games but they'll still be over 60.

If you're fine with waiting you could benefit when new hardware comes out but I wouldn't regret building now if that's what you want to do.
