Ask again after 5 months when Broadwell gets released.

Your present system is more than enough to run games in low to medium settings for another 2 years.

Ultra High End Gaming all games releasing in the next 10 years should be run at its highest settings.

Simply not possible. Work on your mind and answer the first question again in a more sensible way.
