I'm noob in PC's hardwares,So advise me.

 

I don't like amd CPUs , i will change my cpu to i5 in the future , so tell me your opinion about this rig how about it ?
 


Why don't you like AMD CPUs? I have the FX-6300 in my system and it does great, why the bias man?

 
I normally would never recommend AMD unless you are doing a budget rendering build as it is actually faster with renders than the i5 is. If you can afford a Xeon 1231 v3 or a i7 then it tromps the AMD FX lineup but for a budget editing/rendering rig AMD is the way to go. I am a very strong believer that you should get what you need and not stick to a brand. If you were mostly gaming the Pentium/I5 would be the way to go but as I said the renders are better with AMD. :)
 
go with an amd if working a lot and intel for gaming and working.Because intel has more single core performance.
An i5 like 4440 is suitable for the budget with no overclocking but better gaming performance and a cheap and affordable mobo with 8gb ram and an r9 270x.
