Trying to build a 'future-proof' rig is like constantly chasing a moving target.

* BUT * There are a few good practices you can follow that will help:

1) Over-spec your motherboard with a plan to upgrade CPU and RAM in 1-2 years. For example, you might get a locked i5 today but plan to get an i7 K series and liquid cooler to overclock in the future.

2) Over-spec your PSU by 30-50%. It's not wasted money now as this will keep it cooler, quieter and in the middle of efficiency range while under load. And in the future you will have power overhead for a better CPU and possibly a better or even a second GPU.

3) Buy your RAM in a 2 stick config now. This will leave 2 slots open that you may be able to fill with a 2nd identical RAM kit in the future.

You might as well ask how high is up? no one knows what the future may hold, or what games you may consider as "essential", or what their requirements might be.:pt1cable:
