When do you plan to build that PC?
Intel will launch their new CPUs this January, and that will mean a drop in price of the current 6xxx series (which are the ones to get as the new 7xxx series aren't worth it), and AMD will launch their Zen processors and compatible motherboards in Q1.
In any case, both platforms will use DDR4, so you can already buy that if you find a good deal. 16GB would be the sweet spot... at least in Windows.
Nvidia cards performed better than the AMD ones, but I don't know if that has changed much in recent times. The best card would depend on you budget.
Please excuse my bad English.
