I want to get back into gaming and after reading through different posts on here, I believe it's best to just let people decide everything for my build since i feel a bit out of the loop.

Anyways any suggestions on what to buy and build are greatly appreciated.

More about : 1000 1200 amd intel build

For quick reference. http://www.maximumpc.com/build_pc_recommended_builds_de...

Tested and benchmarked builds at various price points.

Will definitely help you catch up on recent price/performance data on this year's hardware.
And perhaps give you a better feel for any recommended builds you get here.

Meh, the Z87 motherboards are very much the same (of course there are some differences), and so, the Extreme4 has an excellent value because of the lower price
