Help With planning

Hey guys.

I'm planning to do a gaming build, I was thinking in a budget around 1300$US, The main problem is I'm from Mexico and prices here are quite different(usually more expensive)

I was leaning towards buying an AMD cpu due to recent ryzen 3000 leaks and overall cheaper pricing, but I am still open to external povs.

My ideal setup would include an rtx 2060 and possibilities for future upgradeability. The build would be based on 60 fps gaming at 1080p with details as high as possible(for all kinds of AAA games). The monitor, os and keyboard have to be included in the budget (for the keyboard I was looking at a corsair k65 because i don't really care about getting the highest end keyboard right away).

And last but not least, Today I saw a good offer on G.Skill Tridentz 3200mhz ram and would like to know if it seems wise to buy it now, since ddr5 should be out by the time I round up the money.

Thanks for your time.

Dumby peripherals, but decent monitor, which I'd stick with

 

I'd personally wait until Zen 2, but its a basic foundation of what you can get for 1300, cheapened down to fit your circumstance

Thanks for the suggestion, maybe I could choose a cheaper monitor while I get more money to upgrade, Im planning on keeping it like that for a good 2-3 years

What resolution and refresh rate do you intend on using? 

 

If you plan to stick to 1080p 60hz, this will do perfectly
