Newegg parts and prices.

EDIT : The I3-2120 is considered up until now the best budget processor for gaming mainly because up until now most games are still leaned on using 2 cores, there are actually only a few games that takes advantage of using 3-4 cores ( like civilization 5 ).

This link would support what I am saying:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-fx-pentium-apu-benchmark,3120.html

As you can see here, the I3-2100 performs way better than the FX cpu's and some phenom II cpu's which has 4 cores. Thus I always that the I3-2120 is a good processor for gaming PROVIDED that you compliment it with a very decent mid range GPU like the HD 6850 / HD 6870 / GTX 560 / GTX 560 ti and it would not result in bottlenecking.

Future proof gaming PC for under $2000 AU?

I want to build a gaming PC for under 2000 Australian Dollars. I don't need a monitor, mouse, keyboard or speakers. I also want this to be as future proof as possible.

Also it should preferably either have a combo of ATI and AMD or a combo of Nvidia and Intel.

Thanks a lot and please answer quickly.
