I would get 2x4GB of RAM. A dual configuration is often better then a single stick

 eGPU Setup: Macbook Pro 13" 16GB DDR3 RAM, 512GB SSD, i5 3210M, GTX 980 eGPU

New PC: i7-4790k, Corsair H100iGTX, ASrock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer, 24GB Ram, 850 EVO 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, GTX 1080 Fractal Design R4, EVGA Supernova G2 650W

Probably save up to 500 dollars so you can get a better GPU. But if you cannot do that, it looks good. Always get a second opinion though

For gaming the fx6100 is pretty meh, having 6 cores really makes no difference, having a much better GPU will make a bigger difference
