I'm looking for a good PC build that will allow me to get the best price to performance ratio AND good graphics capability and upgrade paths for the future. I have around 500-600 dollars to spend on a CPU, Motherboard, and GPU (All other components already purchased, PSU is 1050 watt 80+ Gold Rating) I don't need a great CPU, I just don't want it to bottleneck my GPU/GPUs now or even in the future. Thanks and have a good day guys! :)
 
Well if you already bought RAM, then than limit's your choice as new Intel boards use DDR4 now, so you're already out of the future loop. lol.

There is no such thing as future proof, and you need to spend $1000 on a GPU alone to last you a good while for the "future". 500 for cpu+mb+gpu isn't even close to topping out todays games, never mind the future.

I can obviously upgrade the GPU pretty easily, I'm mainly talking about getting a good CPU and MoBo that I won't have to upgrade all of the time. And by the way, I could easily get a kit of DDR4 RAM if Z170 is the way to go.
