Ethernet not starting on boot

I recently installed Arch Linux finally got KDE up and running , now when I boot up and log into my account I have to do two commands to get my internet up and running.

I check ip link and it states my ethernet (which is no longer eth0 but is now enp8s0 for some odd reason) and it states the status is down - so I enter 'ip link set dev enp8s0 up' and 'systemctl start dhcpcd@enp8s0.service' to get internet back.

I have entered 'systemctl enable dhcpcd@enp8s0.service' to make sure it starts on boot. 

Any Ideas?, it seems a bit much just to get internet up every time I reboot.

Re: Ethernet not starting on boot

More specifically as you have found half the problem (interfaces are renamed), there is also the problem with the dhcpcd@.service file:
