Will this computer still run most programs in 4 years (2017)?

Will this computer still be relevant in four years?
ie. run most programs and games that are released in two years time:

1) Intel Core i7 2700K Sandy Bridge Desktop processor.
2) Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 Graphics Card.
3) 16 Gb DDR3 RAM
4) 120 gb Intel 520 SSD with 3 TB Hard disk space and Windows 7 home premium installed on SSD.

We cant guess that the PC with these specification will support the upcoming softwares in the future. Because my PC configuration is AMD Atholon 64, 512 mb ram, 750 gb harddisk. It lasted for 7 years. I brought in 2005. It's worked fine.

I think you may need to change the Grpahic card, because the upcoming games in the future will be not supported by GPU. You may need to change it, the rendering engine mostly depends on. Processor which you have is highend, which works excellent. Motherboards also plays a main role here. You didnot mentioned the motherboard details. Check for your motherboard specifications as well.

If you are an hardcore gamer, you need to check the Game requirements. Buy GPU after checking the specifications.
