Rysen 5 1600 (x) and 1080 for 1080p 144hz?

[alks]

I'm planning to build PC with limited budget. I'm confused what to choose.
Main goal is playing modern games at 1080p 144hz. Not necessarily at ultra settigs, high/medium is good too.
So my questions:
1) is will 1600+1080 will be good option? Or should I buy intel CPU and what exactly?
2) what monitor is good for this? Do I need gsync or something like that?
3) if r5 1600 is good, then should I buy 1600 or 1600x? Is there any difference in games between them?

For pure gaming I would spend the extra on the CPU and get the 6 core i5 AMD still can't match the single core performance of Intel.
Something like this the case comes down to the looks you like. You could also add a larger SSD for your main games if you wish.

If your not playing twitch shooter games where you need the 144 refresh rate I would consider a 1440p 27 inch monitor with a 60 refresh rate.

For high fps I agree a 8600k is a much better choice.

I'm playing, so 144hz is important, 1080p is enough.
Sorry, I didn't mention it, I don't need hard drives.
Thanks for you build, but I'm looking for something cheaper, about 1200-1300$. Thats why I consider r5 1600

if frame rate is important to you, i5-8600K is the cheapest option I'd recommend.
ryzen CPUs just cant hit high enough FPS due to much worse per core performance when compared to intel.

As recommended, the 8600k is a better bet for consistently high FPS.

I say this as a Ryzen owner...Ryzen has its strengths, but Intel's very high single-core performance will keep it ahead in the FPS battle in *current* games.

The extra 150 bucks for the intel build is worth it.
R5 1600. Still need a case.

Zerk2012, ok, thank you. I guess, I'll have to wait, because now its a bit expensive build
