Hey, I'm new to the forums.

I have made new PC builds, and might buy. As you can see my budget is very low. How can I improve them? I think the Intel one is better because I am going to overclock a bit, but what do you think? Also is there any part that is cheaper but just as good because it is still over my budget, specially the graphics card?

Id rule the AMD build straight out, the cpu is just too old and weak.

I dont know CA prices but how does an i3 6100 setup compare in cost. I wouldn't want to go lower than an i3 if running a GTX 1060, a dual core even OC'd just won't cut it in modern games and the i3 performs exceptionally well for its price.

Thanks, I knew putting the 1060 was a bad idea, because of the cpu. I also was about to choose a better MOBO but for some reason, I didn't choose it due to it being a micro-atx for some reason. Thank you for helping me come to my senses.
