    I understand friend, here's the thing. you can get a b350 bundle with 1600 and still be able to afford you 1060 6gb. You r e a l l y shouldn't buy a 580, you're going to hate it and its around the same price for a much better card. Please don't make that mistake, Perhaps stick with the quad core for now. buy the 8gb stick of ram and that saves you 50 dollars., if you think about it you can afford the 1600 build if you get only an 8gb stick

    @Rob WalshFirst of all thank you so much for your detailed and helpful answer, I know exactly what you mean but the economy is not that great at the moment sadly so I actually can't go for that good of a PC, that's why I wanted to settle for the previous suggestions even though I would rather want to go all in..

    the BIGGEST thing is to make sure you get a motherboard that is *2000 SERIES CPU READY* that way when you get more money next year you can buy the next gen cpu and bolt it in (after a bios update ofc). Or maybe even upgrade to a 2600/2600x cpu this year lol. the difference between the 1600/2600 and 1600x/2600x is the x doesn't have to try as hard to overclock because they're built with handpicked parts - silicon, die etc. The only real difference is sometimes you get a 1600/2600 that is just as good as the 1600x/2600x and you can overclock it almost just as high with watercooling ( or in some cases perhaps just as high or more lol ) its lottery when you buy the non x versions. Sometimes its great sometimes its bad. The way silicon has been going lately you could get one that just sucks in comparison. I like the premium of having the x but im kind of weird like that. Almost everyone got the 1600 because they wanted to save 30-50 dollars. I recommend spending a bit more for cpu because if you get the quad core its going to be about half of what you could have and you'd want to upgrade pretty much instantly. 

                Quad core gaming used to be good enough, its not anymore. You cannot play dayz on a quad core from amd. Not arma or any of those, they don't have enough L1 L2 Or L3 cache, and you'd need the fastest SSD around ( nvme ssd ) with some kick ass not cheap ram. The 6 core 1600/2600/x all are basically the same as the 8 core with less cores and threads respectively. So you're getting that performance that I like to call " worth the extra dollars " everyone will try to make a build for you thats around your budget. But you're going to work your A** off for this any way, because you're an enthusiast. What's another 200 dollars for twice the performance ? That's exactly what I thought when upgrading my pc. I just worked 15 hours yesterday to try and save up for a 1080 lol. 
          Anyway my point is you should get the 1600 if you're going to upgrade later, or buy the x470/2600(x) combo that will be on newegg or amazon soon. (either or man its up to you and how hard you wanna work and how bad you want a good pc, so x or not you have the info to make a good decision based on facts) I would do the latter, I would get the better stuff and save up for other things like car parts or games AFTER you know you won't have to upgrade for at least two years. BTW you can always upgrade later, so if you want to save money and you're not going to be playing games that require more than 8GB of RAM just buy one stick of 3200mhz or faster ram (1x8gb @3200) and then upgrade to another stick later on in life ( of the same exact type and brand of ram i.e; 1x8gb stick of 3200mhz rated ram.) 

                I can link you to stuff on newegg ( that's what I use mostly ) if you like.

    If the prices are the same, take the one with the higher clock.

    It is less expensive than the Meshify.
     
    In the Ryzen builds, the warning has to do with the potential need to update the BIOS on the motherboard before the cpu can be used with it. The note is further down the web page, under the list.
     
    For the titles mentioned at 1080, yes.

    If you can confirm that the Mobo will be updated for Raven Ridge out of the box then get the 2200G as its basically a 1300X but cheaper and has that Vega IGPU incase something happens to the 1050

    You might consider a build with a more powerful gpu.

    Fortnite sure, but BF1, GTA5, and other AAA titles you will have to run on lowest settings to get anything near 60 FPS.

    Since you can't overclock the CPU I went with a lower wattage supply to save a little bit. You could change it out to a 550 watt variant such as a G3 or CX (2017) model if you want to have more headroom long into the future if you do decide to drop in an overclockable chip later on. It will be about $20 or so more but would last even longer. I just wasn't sure how far the budget could stretch and tried to stay as close as possible to $1000
