Get a R7 1700 and overclock it. The R7 1700X and 1800X are rather pointless to get.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

For your budget , the r5 1600 can't be beat .

I personally wouldn't recommend i5's anymore , they're overpriced and near maxed out.

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case

Nope I wouldn't recommend a 4 thread CPU for gaming even if its single core performance was better like the i5's is. The fact that its 4 threads are already saturated at 95-100% usage in modern titles shows it has no room to grow in the future and will soon become the bottleneck in a system. (this applies to any 4 thread cpu).
