    Need help for 1080p gaming

    I m looking to buy a budget pc with fallowing specc for gaming on a 1080p resolution an mostly watching streams on veetle youtube and twitch.tv.

    My specc is
    24" 1080p screen
    Amd fx8350 @4 ghz
    8GB ddr3
    Gigabyte r9 390 g1 gaming
    2 TB toshiba 7200 rpm hdd.

    Will it be futureproof enough for gaming and watching streams for another 2 years or so and if not what i need to change.
    Without monitor this cost around 800 euros in my country.

    You'd be better off downgrading the GPU by 1 level and getting an Intel i5 CPU.

    Depends on the game. For most AAA games no.

    For CPU intensive games like WoW yes.

    mostly im playing wow so i might take that advise but my current cpu uses old core i5 @ 2.8 ghz and its pretty shit fps but i have very old gpu radeon hd 5830

    - - - Updated - - -

    but i have option to wait for another 6 months or so and buy new gen with bigger budget.
    so buy that one or wait and buy next one:

    i7 6700k
    16 gb ddr4 @ 2400 mhz
    msi z170a gaming pro motherboard
    radeon r9 490 (which will be available before new exp comes)
    2tb hdd.

    Your old CPU is probably faster than the new one you are about to buy. AMD is pretty crap in single-thread performance.
