The sky is the limit. I could easily put together a $20,000 rig.
But 2600 will still get ya a monster. Though I've found it best to build a mid-high rig, and improve it in pieces over a few years.
What do you have for components right now? Although I prefer Intel CPUs for their encoding capabilities, one great thing about AMD is that they tend to use and keep their sockets relevant for far longer. One thing I strongly suggest is to try out running three displays. It's wonderful.

I spent about $800 on a PC 2 years ago when I took my time to find deals. It runs BF4 on high.

OK, I don't want to spend 2600 again. Hopefully my rig will last another two years for gaming. This is what I have now.
1. Motherboard: evga x58 ftw3
1. Graphic Cards: (Two) Geforce GTX-650 ti Boost
3. Memory: 8gigs of G.Skill. (I'm going to add another 8gigs)
4. Drives: Two WD caviar black for storage (1t) and Two WD that runs at 10000 Raid0
5 CPU: Intel I-7 950 bloomfield 3.07 (I run it at 3.22)
6. PSU: enermax sglaxy evo egt 1250 ewt. (I will never buy an enermax psu again. It has been replaced three times)
7. Sound: Creative SB x-fi titanium pro
8. OS Windows Pro.
9. Asus ve278q full hd hdmi led/lcd 27in. (Great Monitor. But I have found others that are unreal with picture quality that starts around 600)
That suns it up. You all know this is a "Gaming" Computer. I just would like to change to ssd drives, up two or three steps in a graphic card, up two or three steps in motherboard, and last when I have the 600 for a new monitor, I'll get it. But the one I have now is GREAT.
Suggestions??

What you have there is a pretty killer rig.
I mean updated the gfx card, add another 8GB DIMM and make the leap to an SSD or at least a hybrid HDD and leave the rest be.
There isnt gong to be any games coming out in the near future that the rest of your rig will have any problems with.
