The thing is that a few years down the line I'll still be able to upgrade the video card, memory, and psu. But a few years down the line I wont be able to upgrade the CPU because nobody will be selling them anymore or if they are they will be too expensive/ or incompatible with my mobo. So I'm thinking that if I wanna stay in my price range I should get the best CPU for the money and the rest of the stuff should be just good enough.
