I'm going to be making a new computer for myself to play games on and do some internet/media work. I would prefer it to be "future proof" but honestly, I doubt I will upgrade the computer until it needs a new mobo/ram/cpu anyways. I'd prefer a SSD, and I will buy a SATA drive for additional storage at a later date. I've read that the best gaming CPU for 200$ is a i5-3450 but I don't know if I can fit it in the budget, that's why I am coming to you fellas. Thanks!
