So,I am trying to build a new PC as I sold my old one about a month ago and I am stuck with my laptop only ,so I can't do any gaming at all.

 

My budget is a bit over 900$ but prices in Romania are higher.So whatever build would cost about 900$ in Canada, in here can go over 950 or even more...

 

I am thinking skylake i3 or an FX 8300 as proc, but I am open to any build suggestion in that budget.

 

Any opinion would be great,wether it is a full build or just some suggestions. 

 

Waiting for some answers, cheers!

900 is a decent budget. 

 

Might be able to squeeze in an i5 with a 390 or a 380.

Get a core i3 4170 or better if skylake isn't that pricer a i3 6100 since it's better than the FX line for gaming (single core IPC is better). For the graphic card try to look for cheap R9 280/R9 285 if you can't find any get the 950, the 960/r9 380 are usually quite close to the 950 in price so get them if you can afford them.

You are right.  Like I said at the top of the post, you can trim those down and keep performance up.

 

The Canadian PC market is also different from Romania's.  OP really has to understand what parts are best with the components available.
