Any "Future Proof" type build under $500?

[The_Prince2017]

Is there any "future proof" (Or a bit close to that) type build under $500? Resolution is 1366*768 and atleast low-medium details on future games.

An Intel Skylake build is your best bet for future upgrades. Grab an i3 6100 and a decent decent gpu with 8gb DDR4 ram and you should be set.

That would be more than enough to meet your requirements, but is a little over your budget. You can drop the price down by going with a GTX 950, and it should still plenty for gaming at that resolution.

I do have the others which are needed.

Corsair CX power supplies are not very good. The one in my build is much better quality, slightly higher wattage, and costs about the same.

The 750 ti is weaker than the GTX 950 by a noticeable amount. But again, playing at 768p at low-medium settings is a pretty low requirement, should probably still be ok.

Currently, I do not have $500. I am saving for it and will upgrade one-by-one. So, right now I should probably make a GPU upgrade. I might just go for the 750 TI as it is cheaper. I want to reduce the price as much as possible.

For about the same price, a 950 will hand a 750ti its butt. Bang-for-the-buck on the 950 is great.

I will see as I do need to think about the future. Now, about the CPU, what about the future upgrades? That LGA 1151 socket should go for future upgrades, shouldn't it?

In my country (India), specifically on the website Flipkart.com, the price of MSI GTX 950 2 GB is approximately $267. Now that's....

INR 18000 is approximately $267. Now, that's half of my budget...

Ah ok. They're priced similarly in the US

 

[The_Prince2017]

The 750 TI is more than a $100 less. So I will go for that.
