As the title says im going to make an upgrade on ma pc i want to buy a pentium g4560 and i want to buy a rx 480 or a gtx 1060 because in my country they both cost the same. And i know it will bottleneck. What is the better option?
 
Solution
Anecdotally here, I've seen a couple charts that showed lower CPU usage with AMD cards than with Nvidia, which could be benefit that 4560. And definitely the 480 4 GB over the 1060 3 GB, the 3 GB is a slightly cut down version.

it depends on the psu you have and the models you are seeing, 3, 4, 6 or 8 gbs models both from amd and nvidia

if you are a nvidia fan, the 6 gbs is what you should get

if you are a amd fan, 4 or 8 gbs is a good option

about the bottleneck, the cpu is not strong but should let you have a decent experience but consider in the future to get a i5 at least
