Then you and me are in the same predicament, looks like you might have to spend a bit (but not too much)
The PC Thread - Tips, Benchmarks, Specs, Laptops, Custom Desktops, Pre-Builds and more.
Yeah, that' why I'm saving up now so I won't have to scurry next fall when these games drop
People keep saying 780
But I think 760 will be the absolute minimum (especially the 4GB variant) unless someone can tell me otherwise
something like the 760 should be OK, but the sky's the limit beyond that. just know that any gpu ain't gonna be shyt in a couple years. that doesn't mean it will be 'worthless', but there will be much better gpu's, with new bells and whistles. for that reason I think it's best to plan on getting a new gpu every 2-3 years, rather than trying to 'future proof' beyond that
What would be a decent one for now that will last 2-3 years then? I'm trying to buy one that will play my old games without lag but also some the new games coming out.
something like the 760 or AMD equivalent

interesting. seems they're working on building more media functionality in their OS

Probably to bolster their media options so that when Steambox releases, consumers could actually consider using it as exclusive media solution.
I predict a Steam video or partnership in the works next.

The Steam Music Beta is coming soon to Big Picture and SteamOS interfaces, with desktop features soon to follow. To express interest in beta participation, join the Steam Music community group. Group members will be invited in waves, until the feature is released to everyone.
With Steam Music, you can now listen to your music collection while playing games. Once you’ve pointed Steam to your local music directory, your Steam Library will include Album and Artist views of your collection.
From there you can view and play albums and tracks, manage your queue, and access the Steam Music player by pressing the Guide button on your controller. (No controller? Keyboard and mouse users can access the active player from Big Picture’s main menu.)
Once in-game, the music player follows you via the Steam overlay, where you can manage your current playlist, browse your collection and listen to whatever suits your mood.
With this beta, we’re getting started with what we believe to be the most fundamental set of features to offer a great music listening experience within Steam. As always, our next steps for the feature will be influenced by your beta feedback, so please share your feature requests, thoughts, and experiences in the music discussions. Happy listening!

I thought about building something but said fukk it and bought the Alienware X51 in July 2012 and never looked back.
shyt is balling, still plays all the games at top settings, soooo smooth!
Also, make sure to get a good monitor, I picked up an AOC 23 inch IPS flat panel monitor and it's amazing. Only $189.99 back in 2012 probably could get a bigger one for the same price now.
