Tip: it would be a good idea to use PCPartPicker (https://pcpartpicker.com/) to plan your build. It helps a lot, with compatibility and stuff :)

What budget what country? Is it just a gaming PC? you should really be getting an i5 over an FX 8 core, also you're going to want a different motherboard if you really need the 8 core CPU for whatever reason

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

$1000 and US. Mainly gaming, but I might be using it for work later on. I'm a graphic designer, so I usually have at least 5-7 programs runnning.
