14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
I need a future-proof combination and I need to make it last at least a 2 years. If possible, please mention Intel configs as I am an Intel fanboy. Note that I would settle for a LGA1155 socket only. Note that I won't move even a inch from my budget of 25K. I am thinking of a HD6670 for graphics card as it can easily run Crysis 2 with High settings or on Medium settings with AA enabled.
