I just got my new rig about two weeks ago, it cost almost 4000$ (with the monitor) but still won't really max new games in 5 years time. It does absolutely murder everything out now though, at 1440p anyway (The Witcher 3 on Ultra with 65-70 fps average is as delicious as it sounds).

There's no such thing as a 10 year gaming PC, after a whole decade you won't even be able to upgrade since the newer parts won't correspond and work with the older parts at all.

If you can afford it, try a 1000$ budget, still a cheap gaming PC, dirt cheap when you consider those who shell out 1200-1300 for a Macbook they only use for browsing the internet, watching movies and listening to music and using social media...
