AMD all the way :)

Ryzen = more cores + good stock cooler + unlocked

RX = had more VRAM and trade blows with the GTX 1060 6GB (since the RX's 4 GB and 8 GB version both had same

resource count, unlike the GTX's 3 GB and 6 GB, where the 3 GB had 10% less resource)
get the B350 for AMD's mobo :)
business mobo like MSI B350 PC Mate is already fine, should u want to save up some extra $ for buying games

while Ryzen benefits from faster RAM, usually the benefits will be noticeable on higher fps target(like 120++)

PSU is good, although u with the extra money u save up from mobo, upgrading into the gold quality would be nice
as in Indonesia,supposedly EVGA is pretty pricy (percayalah, mahal cuy biasanya :v), these can be the alternatives
Super Flower Golden Green HX 550w
Corsair CX550M (with gray label)

AMD Build.

Ryzen 5 1600 (OC'able, 6C/12T, with included beefy stock cooler) is better price/performance than the i5-7500 (non-OCable, 4C/4T, with mediocre stock cooler).

Note that you cannot use the listed B250 motherboard for the AMD CPU. If you prefer Asus, you should look into the Asus ROG Strix B350-F Gaming (AM4 Socket for AMD Ryzen CPU).

RAM is okay, but if the 3200MHz version is available, that would be better.

RX 580 4GB would be a better choice than the GTX 1060-3GB. If the GTX 1060-6GB is the same price, then, get that instead.

PSU is decent for the GTX 1060. Alternatives would be the Seasonic M12II-520 EVO (the fully modular version of the S12II), or the Corsair CX450M (gray label 2015 version). If you are going for the RX 580, alternatives would be the Corsair CX550M (gray label 2015 version), or, better yet, if your budget permits, the EVGA SuperNova G2 550 or Corsair RM550x.

Thankks before,

Sorry i forgot to write mobo and memory for AMD's build
- i will use either Asus Strix B350F or Prime B350 Plus, only $14 different
- Memory = G Skill Fortis 2x8 GB, (officially support AMD, based on Gskil website)

@raisonjon
On ryzen's spec sheet only support up to 2666MHZ memory, isn't that worthless to get higher speed?

go wtih Strix then
memory is nice too although i'm not sure that Ryzen only supports up to 2666
http://www.pcgamer.com/amd-adds-to-list-of-certified-ddr4-memory-for-ryzen/
they have improve that i think :)

for the PSU, since the CPU are OCable and the GPU are pretty power hungry imo
getting a CX550M / M12II 620w might be better :)

Does the psu brand and rating so important?
as the wattage already sufficient

the wattage listed on the PSU is the maximum amount it can handle, so the actuall efficient wattage u can use is not the one that is listed
in PSU brand doesn't really matters that much, as most brand's high end PSU are all on the either tier 1 / 2, so u can't judge a PSU based on it's brand only
as for rating, most high tier already had ratings (like bronze, gold, etc) the higher the rating, the more efficient it is and the closer it'll perform to the listed wattage (also, they're more efficient on power consumption too)
