I am finally planning out my gaming rig.

Just set a budget goal. There's always gonna be something for your budget. I'm also hoping to build a new PC by next year, and I have no idea what it's going to be yet, except that I'm capping my budget at $1000 that I'm willing to sink into it. The only thing that I'm really shooting for at the moment is making sure that it has an SSD and/or a very fast main HD, mostly because I learned my lesson with that from my previous build. If I were buying one now, I'd also be aiming for a reasonably-priced Intel processor (probably in the upper range of the i5) and a reasonably-priced mid-upper-range nvidia card. But as Herr-Berbunch said, there's no telling what the price situation with any of those things is going to be like. So just set your budget and keep up with tech news.
