It's somewhat rare to "future proof" but you can easily make a computer that can run everything on at least "high" for years. As far as the processor, if you go intel just buy the most recent version of whatever tier you're looking at...i5 was recommended for gaming (with the i7 being overkill, but that may have changed since I built). Then the motherboard is more about features than anything...ideally look for something that reviews pretty well and go with a consistent company (like Asus), and then look into the various features from there (mine has additional protection for anything plugged into it to keep things from frying). If you get the 980ti, you'll definitely get more range out of that, but you'll be paying for it (but it sounds like that's not an issue). Hope this helps some.
