Solution
you can pretty much future proof your ram by getting anything like 2133 or above
gpu wise if you want future proof get a 780 or 770 if you can afford it
dont get any of last years cards as the value of those has gone down and they are not worth the money.
for example the 770 performs better than the 680 slightly and is cheaper.

If you want a i5 3570k, for your gpu, you can either go really top end and buy a 7970 or a 670, which are the best gpus you can buy apart from the 1000 dollars monsters up at the extreme top end. A 7970 can run Crysis 3 at 30 fps minimum on top graphics on a 1920*1080 monitor. It also comes with like 4 free games. It all depends on what games you want to play, and what monitor you have.
