Ryzen 5 1600 and 2600 are pretty cheap for ~100-130 bucks and great performance. Ryzen 5 3600 is one of the best cpus to play just under 200bucks cpu.
Ryzen 7 has 8 cores and 16 threds. ryzen 1700 adn 2700 are great under 200bucks cpus to do workloads, and gaming. The ryzen 7 3700x is -5% off the performance off the i9 9900k and is over 100bucks cheaper.
Ryzen 9 is for workload, but it games pretty well. Ryzen 9 3900x and 12 cores and 24 threads, and its almost identical to i9 9900k in gaming with the same price! Also it has more cores so its better at workloads. The ryzen 9 3950x has 16 cores 32 threads. Its identical to i9 9900k in gaming, for 200+bucks more. It has great workload performance

Intel: from the last 2 generations you have one socket with 2 different chip series that can be used
lga1151: 6xxx, 7xxx
lga1151 v2: 8xxx 9xxx
lga2011: 7xxx(xe) 9xxx(xe)
Then you have Z, B, H and Q as most important chipsets
X=for HEDT/X series processors (high end desktop)
Z=overclocking support, mostly higher end
B/Q= no overclocking support
H= basic boards
 
AMD: for ryzen you use the most recent socket
AM4: 1xxx 2xxx ryzen
TR4: 1xxx 2xxx threadripper
X=high end, overclocking support, more sata ports
B=midrange, overclocking support, a bit less sata ports
A= low end, no overclocking support
 
Vrms are about the most important, but hard to check yourself by just checking the setup. Buildzoid (Actual hardcore overclocking) is a good source for example

That would most likely turn out fine.

guess i can afford, tanx for the reply man

tanx man. i will buy from md computers itself but i thought apu's need duel channel ram to work more efficiently is single channel good to go?
 

tanx so much for the reply and info  

Tanx man for your replies
 

Btw, if you're only playing single player games and don't mind a stutter from time to time, get the RAM and a GTX 1060.

If you go with a single 8GB stick and pair it with the 4GB you have you probably won't have the RAM run in Dual Chanel. DC offers some additional performance, it's not a bad thing to have performance vise.
 
There are a few modern games that can utilize more than 4 cores (for example Battlefield 1, Battlefield V, Shadow of the tomb raider, Far Cry 5).
Explaining the CPU bottleneck is simple. The CPU prepares each frame (geometry, physics and such stuff) for the GPU to render (add details, textures, ...).
If the CPU can prepare 40 frames in a second but the GPU can render 60 frames in a second with the details, you'd get 40 FPS and the GPU would be bottlenecked some 30%.
It's like having a 30% weaker graphics card simply because the CPU can't "feed" the GPU properly to use its full potential.
 
The optimal CPU upgrade for you to run a GTX 1060 or a stronger card in every modern title released to date would be an i7 6700 or i7 7700.
That wouldn't require you to change your motherboard. Other options (Ryzen, Intel Coffe lake) would.
