I'm looking for a Pc case that seems flexible, so I can change parts from cheap to super for now. I just want a basic gaming parts for now that can run simple games like The Forest, Rust, Garry's Mod at the highest settings. Then after a few years i'll replace the parts with some high performance parts to run other games like Battlefield 4 or Battlefield Hardline on ultra settings. I just need the hardware, I already have a monitor, mouse, keyboard. My budget for now is around $500-$800 try to make it less than $1000 no matter what if that's the case, then just tell me the parts I need for the best pc parts to play super high performance games. I'm new to this site so please don't be an douche and try to answer my question.

You should be able to play most games @ 1080p on high settings easy for a couple years atleast. For extreme performance you could get a R9 290 instead which will cost you another 150.

The CPU is discontinued so i'll need another cpu and another place to buy the motherboard since both are 'together'
