Might also be worth looking at an intel system if you can get your hands on a Pentium g4560, but they seem to be few and far between at the moment.

as above but Gigabyte Board, 3200 ram so CPU isn't slowed down whilst gaming and ditching the SSD and HDD for a larger HDD

Wouldnt the AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8350 Black Edition 4.00GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail be better then the AMD Ryzen 3 Quad Core 1200 3.40GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail @orbitalwalsh

I would have to go to ddr3 and amd 3+ but would that not be a faster set up

No, they're about even (each have their benefits depending on task) - but you would be severely limiting your upgrade path with the FX CPU.

I would consider dropping the SSD for now and getting a Ryzen 1400 - which would negate any comparable performance concerns.

 

[Plec]

Dropped the SSD, can be added later. A 1400 CPU (great performer), 3000MHz AM4 approved memory (3000MHz is the minimum for Ryzen) and upgraded the PSU to a marginally better quality unit (wattage wasn't the concern - but the added Watts is a bonus.)

Price is comparable to your last FX build but better performance and more importantly longevity for future upgrades:
