I actually recommend going for a higher-end CPU so you won't need to change it for years (I'm using mine for 4 years and simply won't change it because it still outperforms a lot of modern CPUs). 1TB of storage is ridiculous because games are becoming pretty big. I'm on 4TB right now and wouldn't mind having more room. About the price, if you add a better CPU you will just be limited by the GPU. So you can just upgrade it on 2 years and keep going. This GPU will give you 1080p/30fps on high or maybe ultra settings in most games. If you want 1080p/60fps and you are on a budget, you are dreaming, unfortunately. But a mid-end GPU + good CPU will give you a good 1080p experience and just changing for a new mid-end GPU in 2 years still won't be expensive. |
The 750k is actually not a weak CPU for the price if you can reliably and stably overclock the thing. If you're building on a real budget, then upgrading to an i5 or such will cost you a pretty penny, especially considering that the intel mobos are arms and legs more expensive than an FM2 socket board.
The 750k will also bottleneck anything about a 260X with 270 allowing you to cram in AA or some other small graphical notches, so there's a definite cut off for the GPU you should be buying. An i3 will bottleneck at the same exact level as then 750k, so the only real worthwhile jump for the GPU scaling will be to go into i5-i7 territory which is not 'budget' for anyone.
