Don't get any FX series CPUs to start. Also use pcpartpicker.com. What are you using this computer for?

AMD FX CPUs are horrible. Don't get them.

 

Get an i5 7500 + RX480 or GTX 1070.

If you use it for gaming then the FX processor is gonna be a bottleneck. Try with core i5 minimum.

Just wondering, What's that parametric filter thing you're using on PC partpicker.

seems like it picks the cheapest product matching the filter requirements, right? how do I use that, because it seems really useful.

yeah grab a ryzen 7 1700 and push it up to 4ghz - you will have more horsepower than a stock 1800X way better :)

Despite what you have heard, a 4Ghz overclock on the 1700 is not guaranteed, and you shouldn't be recommending that to someone who you aren't sure knows how to overclock.

Well even if you dont overclock - 66% of the price for 90 - 95% of the 1800x frames seems worth it
