Budget and country of residence? And do you need a monitor, keyboard, mouse or OS?

There really isn't such a thing as "future proofing". If you're building a PC you're building it for now, not what's out 5 years from now. If you overspend on a part, it does not guarantee that it will run future software. It just means you overpaid for a part. That said, what is your budget and country of residence?

If you're going to be gaming an i7 is a waste of money. Get an i5 instead and spend more money on your GPU. That is where the performance lies, and one GPU is way different from the next.

There isn't a version of this site for Ireland and I'm not familiar with Irish computer sites, but it should equate to around 1650 euros.

However, if you aren't going to be rendering videos then you really won't be needing an i7 processor. The 4670k performs the same when gaming. If it's over budget, move the GPU down to a 770 and perhaps drop the SSD.
