For pure gaming on today's date i5 is better..
Also i doubt not many games will use as many as 8 cores(atleast till nxt year)..
but for absolute VFM FX 8350 is good..

I am using 8gb g-skill ram and FX 8350 for gaming with hd 7950 GPU so he needs fx-8350 and 8gb

:facepalm:

Anyways;

FX 8350 (12000)
Asus M5A97 R2.0 (7000)
G.Skill RipjawsX 8 GB (4400)
WD Blue 500 GB (3200)
Seasonic S12II 420W (3600)

NZXT Gamma (2500)
Asus optical drive (1000)
Dell S2240L (8500)

total: 42200

only 3k left for GPU. Even if you go for a cheaper monitor, you'll save a maximum of 1k. No other component can be compromised.

My suggestion:

FX 6300 (7500)
Gigabyte 970A DS3 (5600)
G.Skill RipjawsX 4 GB (2300)
WD Blue 500 GB (3200)
Seasonic S12II 430W (3600)
Asus HD7790 (11500)
NZXT Gamma (2500)
Dell S2240L (8500)
Asus optical drive (1000)

total: 45700

If you can manage an extra 2k, get Asus M5A97 R2.0 instead of the gigabyte board.
