Budget for a PC?
I'm saving for a gaming PC. However, this will be my very first build and I'm not very technical. If I'm being honest, I'll likely end up asking for a build on different sites and compare what people will give me and buy the parts that are suggested. I need a budget to give them though, and I'm not certain where to cut my savings off for it.
The PC is going to be what I'll likely end up playing the majority of my games on with the PS4 for exclusives (and probably Destiny lol). I'd like to hit at least high settings on most games going into next gen. So, if you have any suggestions for a budget before peripherals, I'd be very grateful.
EDIT: Thanks to everyone that responded! Y'all have been very helpful and I've decided on my budget. I'll aim for about $1500, though the wait in saving is going to drive me near mad, ha. I'm very excited. :D

That's not really economical as to future proof requires the purchase of the most cutting edge hardware on the market, which happens to be extremely expensive. It might be cheaper to upgrade parts every 2 or so years. But if you want to last with the same build for 5 years, running next gen games at higher settings than even next gen consoles, then you're looking at maybe a $2000 PC. What ever GPU you purchase should have at least 3GB+ GDDR5 memory (maybe 6GB if you want to be guaranteed future proof - Radeon HD 7990 or Titan.. maybe those two are already overkill idk haha). And maybe you should go for AMD (as thats what consoles are using). Otherwise, a $700 PC Build could get you through nextgen if you're ok with medium-ish settings (PC hardware has simply eclipsed consoles in recent years, where in the past consoles were usually ahead of PC's for a good couple of months, the next gen consoles are already behind the best of PC's).
