Im currently getting Ready to build a decent PC nothing over the top extreme but something that can play Games better than my out of date 5 year old Gaming PC
This is what I'm getting so far:
AMD FX-8350 Quad Core Processor
Radeon R9 280X 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 CrossFireX Support Video Card
16-32gb of ram (Dependin on the board)
Thermaltake Toughpower 750W PSU 80+ GOLD
Any suggestions?
Trying to keep it under the 1000 dollar range.

Under 1k? That shouldn't be difficult. How much is that graphics card?

Not a fan of AMD myself, everything else looks solid

You can definitely get away with 16 GB of RAM. You won't notice a difference going to 32. Save the money.

I'm not that up to date on hardware, but don't forget to get a good SSD.

Yeah, SSD>HDD

Don't cheap out on the SSD though. You can get them for $70 if you wait for sales, but they might die out in 6 months. I'd rather spend $250 on a reliable SSD and get the 16gb of RAM.

Stick to 16 GM RAM, thats super great, 32 isnt needed to be honest. A good SSD, which many have pointed out, will make a much bigger difference. I currently have 16GB RAM and its great, my next purchase will be an SSD.
AMD is fine, I've always preferred Intel for my CPUs though. Best of luck! :D

Intel > AMD
NVIDIA > ATI/AMD
Get an intel i5 processor with an older GeForce graphics cards.

i5 is the most you will need unless you are rendering shit and you can a old gfx card that is cheaper but still runs everything maxed.
