Consider giving us the budget.

around 1300 euros. I want it to last at least 5 years and the processor has to be i7

[Majesticii]

Nothing purchased today lasts 5 years on highest settings, so you have to explain us which settings you're content with. And explain why you want an i7.
Also Black Flag has major performance issues, regardless of systemspecs.

Why i7? Most gamers can do just fine with an i5.

What? Performace issues? Black Flag?

It runs great on my old prebuilt HP h8-1061sc(i7 2600, GTX 550 ti, its OLD)

Saying 'it runs great on my PC' without providing any actual data is misleading at the very least.

Or ingame settings for that matter.

ultra settings

I want i7 because I already have i7 and don't want to revert to i5

ultra settings

Impossible to build a computer that runs games at ultra for 5 years with that budget. So you need to alter your expectations.
So you want i7 because of status, regardless if it's worth it? You're being very very meager with information here...

7 > 5, good enough
