This is going to be a pc for gaming and editing and I wanted to know if it is any good. If you have any suggestions the budget is around $1000. I do plan on overclocking.

dont buy anything new on this Am3 platform - its old, consumes a lot of power, produces a lot of heat, and is at its end-of-life and doesnt receive the same level of driver updates

Not sure why some people have this opinion, haven't had any problem with my MSI Z270 board, they are very competitive with Gigabyte, Asus, and the like. If you have something from the last few years that is factual or anything that isn't anecdotal, feel free to share, but don't hate MSI's motherboards just because you haven't used one.

People actually suggesting to get the i3 8350k lul. The i5 8400 is a better choice tbh

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-8400-vs-Intel-Core-i3-8350K/3939vs3935

Once overclocked, there's a huge single thread performance advantage for the i3 and not much of a multi-thread performance difference despite having two less cores. Assuming he's doing gaming and GPU accelerated rendering, the i3 will be a better choice. And an upgrade to the 8700k later would be a good choice.

Here are my suggestions:

  • Don't buy an FX-9590. You can get cheaper space heaters for less money, and they'll still perform almost the same.
  • If you're spending $1000 and you're concerned about gaming and editing, you probably shouldn't be getting AM3. Ryzen and Coffee Lake are a lot better, and support both PCIe 3.0 and DDR4.
  • Consider getting 16 GB of RAM if you're doing productivity work.
  • Consider a larger SSD. 120 GB is probably fine, but 250 GB isn't that much more and will allow you to store a lot more programs on fast flash memory.
  • Consider getting a non-FE GTX 1070. There are slightly cheaper alternatives that have higher clock speeds out of the box, and they cool better.

That's dumb. In most scenarios where their is going to be a cpu bottleneck it's where they will need more threads making the i5 the better option. In the scenarios where it isn't cpu bottlenecked the extra single core performance won't help as it is gpu bound. So while i do see why you came to your conclusion, I would still have to disagree. You can also look at gaming benchmarks and it is pretty clear the i5 8400 is the better choice.

Once you overclock the 8350k though, the 10% difference in FPS (for heavy multi-threaded games) is made up for.

No it isn't. Also look at minimums and you can see that the i5 would also produce smother gameplay. I mean the r5 1600 is a better buy than the i3 just like it was with the i5 7600k. The i3 is just a bad value and not a good choice anymore especially as games are getting better and better multithreaded optimization.
