FX series is dead cpu and AM3 is a dead socket. If you want budget see if the R5 1400x is in your budget, it is Ryzens 4c/8t chip that is releasing Q2 or go with an i5.

Buy a RX 470 also, MUCH better p/p.

If you really wanna go budget the fx is still ok. Wouldn't wanna spend more than 500ish on such a build though. Definitely get a cheaper Mobo. AM3+ sockets are the cheapest mobos around so you should use that to your advantage. Also 4-8gig RAM at most in such a build. 350-400W PSU should be enough. so some cash to save there as well. Definitely get an SSD and see if you can maybe source a used case or something to save more money

Nooooooooooooooooo don't get AMD FX!!!!

don't get FX, wait for lower end R5 CPUs they might be worth it and won't bottleneck everything to all buggery so it's unusable
