I know that the Fx series of processors isn't all that good, and that with the release of Ryzen it's practically dead. But since a lot of people are buying into Ryzen, I've menaged to find a killer deal, I think:
-Fx 8120
-10 gb ddr 3 RAM
-AsRock Extreme3
-Plexiglass Asus case
All for about 120€ (140$)
I'm planning on putting an Rx 560 or GTX 950 (Depending on what's the best used deal at the moment).

I'm not a heavy gamer, most of the stuff I would play are Esports titles, older shooters (Call of Duty 2 is still my favorite game of all time), and maybe some AAA, but I honestly doubt it. I also have no problems turning the setting a tad down to increase performance.

So my question is should I do it? The next best thing is getting a used I3-6100, or an I5-2400/2500K, but both of these paths are more expensive. Also since I live in Europe (Croatia to be specific), PC parts are a lot more expensive (for reference the new Ryzen 3 1200 is 120€/140$).Also since the wages here are awful and I'm a teenager working at McDonald's you can imagine that my budget is quite tight. Any help/insight is greatly appreciated!

The 8120 is a Faildozer then it's paired with a very poor motherboard and some oddly mixed ram sizes.. What you have found is a 120 euro headache. IMHO i wouldn't waste the money.
