Need a little more details about what you are going to be using the computer for..., i.e. gaming, internet, e-mail, video editing, etc.

alright fair enough but what are your estimates on the pricing by that time?

Prices will change so much between now and then it would be ludicrous to give you a quote now. No telling what developments will happen

If you want to shop around and find a better deal then feel free. But if you cant be bothered, or dont know much about computers then I say buy a Dell package. They may not be good for extreme performance, but they are pretty nice for the price.
Here is a link to a set of pc's that are around your price range.

and you can customize them to suite your needs.

I don't think it'd take much "shopping around" to find a better deal than a Dell at his budget.
@the OP
As everyone's said, prices will fluctuate a lot.
For example:

New AMD Processors
Intel Price Cuts
New AMD graphics cards
Possibly DDR3 memory
New Intel Processors/Chipset
