In this post I don't want answers, I just want some personal opinions.
So how should I start my PC gaming road ?
-----------------------------------
CPU
I can't see any thing impressive from AMD on the CPU side, so correct me if I was wrong.
So my choices are either a skylake i3 or i5, and if there prices aren't considered (for budgets) so an FX series CPU from AMD will do, and I don't want to deal with the integrated GPU that Athlon series has.
--------------------------------
GPU
And here we start, GPU, that never-ending war between Nvidia and AMD.
My choice should be under the 150$ market, where I will include GTX 750ti, GTX 950, R7 370.
I couldn't find any good competitor from AMD except the R7 370 since it's in the top of the price/performance chart in futuremark, also going to AMD means giving up from what does Nvidia geforce experience offers like Shadow Play (I'll never know when will I need it), give me some advice about AMD please.
------------------------------
MOTHERBOARD
Internet is what makes me a noob in online gaming, so I was thinking about getting a motherboard with a built-in ac network (like the Asus Z170I pro gaming mini itx) so that no dealing with fitting in a network card, but these kind of motherboards are quite expensive for a budget build, so ...... Fine then I will buy a motherboard and a network card alone, little help here please.

I think that's it, these three parts are the most important for me (if you ask me for ram, any 2133 8GB ddr4 will do) sorry for speaking a lot.
Thanks for responding.

Probably locking to a long time since I will mostly do light gaming like modded minecraft and CS:GO, maybe also some newer games like black ops 3 on 720p resoulotion (if I was lucky to get the game)

I've totally forgot about the gaming evolved app, thanks for reminding.
I'll try my best in pcpartpicker and will come with the result very soon.
Thanks.
