Cheers. I appreciate the recommendations. How many years do you think it would last before upgrading became a good idea?

It is impossible to provide an accurate prediction because it is dependent on too many variables; however, a well-designed PC should lasts at least 7-10 years by replacing the GPU when needed (usually a couple of times over the system's lifespan).
