Hello there
I want to build a pc with a processor that will still be relevant in 2-3 years. I want to play 2014 games at 1080p,medium to high. I would also want my computer to do tasks such as compressing and unzipping really fast.
I chose my cpu after taking this into consideration. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2690788/windows-10-will-woo-gamers-with-supercharged-directx-12-graphics-api.html .

i would really like to lower the total cost of my build to 650+ whilst not killing too much performance. I normally play DotA 2 and occasionally some AAA titles. Not a necessity to max out. Just as long as it is about 30-60 fps and at med to high settings. I want a good all-rounder pc.
I hope you all can help me
I will appreciate your help!
