This will probably my last thread I will make because i gathered all the information I needed for building my pc etc.

Now I need YOU GUYS help!
Before I tell you my specs I want to say that I want to game on 1080p 60+ fps on ATLEAST high on newer games like bo4, origins, bf 5 etc.
And I also want to stream while gaming but not everyday maybe like twice a week. So my main goal is to GAME.

Cpu:
Should I get ryzen 5 2600x, i5 8600k, or ryzen 5 1600 and OC ??

Gpu:
Should I get 1060 6gb or rx 580 8gb? Some people say rx 580 is future proof but some people say 1060 is more optimized for games and it will get more fps in games than rx 580 etc.

Ram:
I will get 2 × 8 GB ddr4 3000mhz ram

Mobo:
Which AM4 or Socket 1151 mobo should I get for gaming and OC a bit. And which one is morr future proof? I don't want to change my mobo each year..

PSU: I'll probs get a seasonic 550W 80+ gold rated psu

And that's it. Thank you so much for reading and have a nice day.

If you are fine with 60fps(and more) just get ryzen and you dont have to worry. But if you matter about 5-15 fps that intel will grant you, than go for intel but you will have problems with streaming(by problems i mean that you will have less fps with intel than with ryzen). Sorry for bad english.
Go with 580 8gb, just because nvidia doesnt update drivers often. It makes games run less good than amd gpu's. I have seen both 1060 6gb and 580 8gb and 580 outperformed nvidia. About your cpu, i dont know what to tell you. Intel is better that's for sure. But amd mobo's will last till 2020 and that is very good. I have ordered myself r5 1600 and b350f strix(i hope it will arrive in saturday) just because i dont want to change mobo again. But if i had more money i would definitely go with intel, that is for sure
Edit: when rx580 came out, gtx1060 was by much better than it, so if you watch some tests, try to find newest one with gameplay as proof that results arent copied
 
As you want to try to stream, the 2600x is definitely the best option. Some games prefer Nvidia. I would look at what you want to play, and try to find benchmark reviews, before you buy. ASRock - X470 Master SLI/AC listed in the link above would be my choice for motherboard as well.
 


But r5 2600x is bad if you compare it to i5 8600k and i don't want to stream 24/7. So isn't i5 also good for streaming and gaming?
 


Thank you for your help but i'll go with intel anyway.
