Budget

Also impossible to tell if the gaming industry engines will change and be even harder within 5 years or not, so we cannot tell the future

we need a budget

[Citadelen]

I'm going to assume you have a healthy budget and recommend a Skylake i5 and an R9 390. Avoid ASUS and Gibabyte.

best price

 

why would there be two  prices unless one is overkill

[kk3kk3]

$2000

(this is obviously way more than required )

I guess a Skylake i5 and a R9 390/GTX 970 then. A PC containing those parts usually adds up somewhere close around $1000.

For future proofing AMD is better, look at how the 780 Ti aged, it used to beat the 290X now it's the subordinate, with DX12 and Async as well as maturing drivers it's easy to assume that the Fury X will eventually be the better card out of it and the 980 Ti.

lets focus on price/performance

 

not a teenagers dream

 

i5 4th gen or fx 8xxx/6xxx ?

More or less your budget overkill to the jaw, and fairly useless but it will run stuff for years to come)

i5 6600k (260€)
w/e gtx 980 from any third party (around 500-600€) 

same stuff same results.
