1080p/30fps for more recent games, an it will be completely outdated in a year.

If you're going to build a gaming PC, be ready to spend $800 minimum, more if you want to be future-proof.

I'd say $800 should get you a pretty futureproof system. I spent under $400 on mine, and that's including the monitor. Tack a GTX 760 onto that and spend an extra $50 on the mobo(mine's dirt cheap) and you end up at $700 give or take. Course, I did shop around for the best deals.
