Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.9Ghz @ 5k or get the X4 630 @ 4.8k
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA-785GMT-US2H @ 4.5k or Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4k
Ram: Corsair 2Gb DDR3-1333Mhz Value @ 2.5k
Graphics Card: Sapphire HD5670 512Mb @ 5.3k
PSU: FSP Saga II 400W @ 2k or Gigbayte 460W. whichever you find cheap.
Cabinet: CM Elite 310 @ 1.5k

Total: 20.1k. but i'll suggest get the HD5770 if you want Full HD gaming. also try include 4Gb ram.

Phenom II won't increase performance. to get more performance, you need more ram & a little faster graphics card. like HD5770 based one. from MSI/Biostar/Sapphire. also 4Gb ram is a must for HD gaming.

and about futureproof, i think if you do causal gaming or not indulge yourself in hardcore gaming, 3-4yrs. but will need change the graphics card over time if some newer tech like DX11.1 or DX12 comes out & dominates the gaming industry. other than that, the Athlon II X4s enough fast.
