[Build help] CHEAP PC to run everything at decent settings

Hey everyone, before I start would it be fair to say that the Witcher 3 will be at the height of graphical boundaries for another few years? At least as far as being multiplat goes, it's pushing the PS4 and Xbox One pretty hard. I ask because I'd like to at least have a benchmark because I don't want to have to upgrade again for another few years.

At any rate, I need help building a PC that will be able to run everything up to and including The Witcher 3 (and future games with similar specs). I would like for it to be as cheap as I can possible make it and I can deal with 720p because my monitor can only handle that much and I'm not too picky. And as long as it runs everything at at least 40-60 fps, I will be happy.

Here's a theoretical build that I made, knowing very little. What do you recommend? Is this good enough? Can it be made cheaper? What do I have to improve? Thanks everyone!
