Hi,
I am looking to build a gaming pc that needs to be as future proof as possible, as I would like to play all the latest games such as bf4 and dying light. My budget is £1000 and do not need a monitor or os. I would also like an ssd for my games.
Thanks.
 
Solution
Plenty of space on the SSD for games, OS and programs, and the i5 + 780 will max out everything at 1080p easily now and in the future :)

Thanks all for your suggestions, how long would they be able to run games on the highest settings for? Games such as watch dogs worry me about whether or not it's the right time to build one?
