You cant future proof a computer. I dont know why people get so stuck on that. Just build the best rig you can at that point in time. No point in worrying about what the future holds for this stuff when no one really knows.
only partially true. video cards for gaming are the part that needs to be upgraded most often. but I had my I-7 920 for 8 years before I got around to upgrading the proc/board/mem. and it's still doing just fine as a workstation. with the only upgrades being an ssd for the boot drive and video cards.
video cards are a whole nother story. those I wind up replacing every 2-3 years. that being said. you might consider stepping down to the r470 that'll free up some funds for the case, upgraded cpu heatsink to a corsair h55 and a decent ssd (Samsung 850) while still staying close to your budget.
i'll attest to that. it gets insanely loud when the proc is pegged. replacing the fans help some adding a second fan helps some more. but then you're getting close to the hydros in price.The orginal fan of the Hyper 212 could be loud on loads, most people replace it ...
