Otherwise, you get an i5. Not a i3, not a Pentium G3258, but a i5. Only two AMD CPU's I would look at. The 860k and the FX 8320 and that's it. As for the GPU, the whole driver thing is nonsense. You get whatever is the best performance for the price. Nvidia rules the high end, and AMD rules the mid to low end, for the moment. If you want fast, you get a 1070 or 1080 depending on your budget. Anything else, you get a RX 480. Why? Cause $199. Very soon, depending on your budget, you get a RX 470 or 460.
