Budget - Ryzen 1600, AM4 B350 board. 16GB 3000mhz+ RAM. GTX 1060/RX 580 and above. Will do for all modern games and be nice for productivity with 6 cores/12 threads. Will hit 60 FPS at 1080p and will do well at 1440P.
High End - i7 7700K, 1151 board, 16GB RAM. GTX 1060/RX 580 and above. Go with GTX1070 if prices aren't prohibitively expensive in your region. will run most if not all games at 1440P at 60FPS and higher, or wait for Vega 56 (AMD's GPU equivalent). i7's still best for gaming and do several tasks faster than Ryzen despite "only" being a quad core. If buying a PC for; primarily playing games, want the very best FPS and play at high frequency (over 100hz+), go Intel.
