Hi.
I am planning on building a system and I am unsure about some components I can't decide between Aurus 1060 or a Asus ROG RX 580 however I am leaning towards the 580 as I have monitor with FreeSync. However if I chose the RX 580 should I go with a i3-8350k or Ryzen 5 2600x. I was also thinking about overcloking gpu and the cpu as well as I would use the machine for gaming mostly.
Thank you for the answer(s) in Advance ^^


( I also looked at benchmarks but they are giving me different conclusions every time where the either intel + Nvidia wins or AMD)

The 2600x will last you way longer than the quad core, and in some cpu intensive games will perform better. As for the 1060 vs 580, they mostly perform around the same give or take a few FPS here or there. The 1060 has some additional features that NVidia provides, like Shield and VSync if you use them, but in your case it looses out on additional VRAM and Freesync.
I would be pretty much inclined towards the 2600x+580.

If I had to build a new system for myself in the immediate future, I'd go with the Ryzen 2600 as the current best bang per buck option that should have plenty of spare processing power to last well into the foreseeable future. With the 2600, you get 3X as many threads as you do with the i3, which should help a fair bit if you do some degree of multi-tasking while gaming.

I5-8400 is considered one of the best budget processors around.
It can not be overclocked.

i3-8350K does not seem to get a lot of love on this forum, but it is a very good chip if overclocked.
If you favor cpu centric games like sims, mmo, and strategy games, the higher clock rate near 5.0 is very good.

OTOH, if you favor multiplayer games, the 2600X with many threads is very good.
You really can't go wrong at this price point.

Similarly, not much performance difference between amd/nvidia on graphics at the GTX1060/rx580 price point.
One differentiator is that the rx580 will be a hotter card, using 75w more power.

Graphics card vendors bin their chips and use the better ones in factory overclocked versions
that they can sell for more. You may be able to OC more, but then again, perhaps not.
They try to differentiate by adding cosmetics and fancy coolers which also sell for more.
I do think you get fair value from a modest factory overclocked card.
If you need more performance, they buy a higher tier card in the first place.
