Budget/Country what else do you need the PC for, what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

I would highly recommend waiting for performance benchmarks on both the new Intel CPUs and Nvidia RTX cards. Until then, we can't really tell you which you should go with.

I choose wait, unless your current stuff is really unbearable

Is the monitor only 1080p 60hz?

Though waiting is nice. The wait time for appropriate hardware is a bit long and the budget that he has now revealed it is better to run with current hardware

Then go for an R5 2600 + RX 580

 

16GBs of RAM > SSD for now, or get a small SSD instead of a hard drive.

 

upgrade the display before you go buying a high end GPU.

That one's 1080p 144hz VA/IPS with free-sync.

Did you actually have $1000 or were you going to try and save up for a PC? because then you should do something completely different.
