Help with a new budget build.

[devobserves]

I've been researching for days now, and it just seems like I've come to a stand still over and over again. I want a computer for under 650$. Mainly for gaming. I also want it to last me the next couple years, and or be upgradable. I don't want to dish out 650$ on something soon to be obsolete. I would go AMD, but it seems the AMD are just stuck at performance. I would go Intel, but it seems intel is highly expensive.
Any help?

That's because it's not really possible on your budget here a suggestion http://pcpartpicker.com/p/q4xT

What would I have to spend to get a longevity build?

I can't see into the future but i would guess around 900 or more.

AMD FX 6300 $140
Asrock 970 extreme 4 $105
2 x4 gig of 1600 MHz RAM $35
Radeon 7850 $170
Hard drive $70
DVd drive $18
Antec ONE case $50
500 watt psu ~ $50

$648

Plays most games on high settings or better on a 1080p screen
CPU is upgradeable on that board till at least one more generation of processors
the mb can crossfire and SLI , and has front USB 3 header , so the port on the case is useable

Graphics/gaming performance is going to be determined by your graphics card

The 7770 struggles at 1080p resolution so i would include the 7850

This 500 watt Corsair PSU is good enough
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027
$50

The Asrock motherboard has expansion options no other 970 chipset board has
.SLI , crossfire , front USB3 . The Gigabyte board cant do any of those things . $10 more for the asrock is good value

Cases are personal choice . I have not seen the case you have listed but it seems OK
