Hello, thanks for clicking on this thread.

So, my build is:

GRAPHICS CARD: ASUS STRIX GTX1060 6G GAMING *currently chosen graphics card*
RAM: Geil EVO RGB X 16GB 2400MHZ DDR4 Dual Channel
CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 1700 8-CORE 3.0 GHZ (3.7 GHZ TURBO)
CASE: Redline Series RL05
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS STRIX H270F GAMING

My question is, will my CPU work with "Asus Strix H270 F Gaming" motherboard? And does this motherboard allow it to overclock?

Also, what is the difference between:

ASUS STRIX GTX1060 6G GAMING

AND

ASUS STRIX GTX1060 06G GAMING?

Performance wise they are overall equal but trade blows. If...

No, that is a Ryzen CPU so it will require a b350 or an x370 motherboard, and both chipsets support overclocking. Also for the GPU, make sure you also consider an rx 480/580. They are almost literally identical to the 1060s gaming performance, but I would actually recommend the 580 8gb because of it's support for FreeSync, which is much cheaper than G-sync.

" My question is, will my CPU work with "Asus Strix H270 F Gaming" motherboard? And does this motherboard allow it to overclock?"

No they use different sockets so physically incompatible. Pcpartpicker.com can automatically check this for you. The motherboard doesnt allow overclocking on an 1151socket intel CPU.

ASUS STRIX GTX1060 6G GAMING

AND

ASUS STRIX GTX1060 06G GAMING?"

The O6G is overclocked higher out of the box. If you plan to overclock it anyways, the 6g version is perfectly fine. Even without overclocking the 6g is still a fine choice. Also consider the RX 580.

Okay. So, which is better.

ASUS ROG STRIX RX 580?

OR

Performance wise they are overall equal but trade blows. If you know which games you'll be playing, you can read here to find which GPU pulls ahead: http://www.techspot.com/review/1393-radeon-rx-580-vs-geforce-gtx-1060/

2GB of VRAM not too useful for gaming at 1080p 60hz as of now.

The crossfire support on the RX 580 doesn't really matter since it's a bade idea anyways. When you need to upgrade, sell the current GPU and buy a single more powerful one.

If you haven't already bought a monitor yet, the free sync monitors can be found for pretty cheap. A freesync monitor paired with an AMD GPU should eliminate most screen tearing. The alternative, gsync, is normally more expencive in monitors because it requires additional hardware to be built.
