Your $1200 current rig will be next year's $600 budget rig. Build a complete system without overkill anywhere and you'll have a rig that keeps everything maxed for 3-4 years. My box is 4.5 years old now and still champs through everything. It was $600 at the time and has $130 worth of upgrade in it. I run ARR @ max settings, only get noticeable slowdown in towns and big FATEs (all due to having slow old budget processor -- Phenom II 720 @3.4 with 4th core unlocked). Yeah, it's due an upgrade, but I didn't exactly break the bank to make it, and until the next console generation shows up and games start being made to higher specs, I don't really have need.
