Is the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 good for a GTX 1060 6GB?

I would say that it would be good enough, yeah!

The Ryzen 5 1600 has synonymous performance to that of a Core i7-4960X.

The performance of the GTX 1060 is marginally faster than that of 2x HD 7970 in Crossfire.

I used to run 2x HD 7870 in Crossfire on a Core i7-3770K and the performance was beautiful. It would be a walk in the park for an i7-4960X to run a card that performs only a little faster than 2x HD 7970 keeping in mind the above; so, deducting from the aforesaid reasoning, the Ryzen 5 1600 would be a good match with the GTX 1060 6 GB.

You would be able to go with something far more powerful than that if you wanted or were able.

I used a 960 and then a 1080 with a 1200, and then with a 1700 and got really nice results both ways with tempered expectations on the former.

Time passes by so quickly... 11 years since the 7xxx era. I remember it was an amazing addition to the GPU world. The HD 7850 was the bomb; the 7870 and 7950/70 were great too. There were the Sandy and Ivy Bridge CPUs. Prices on GPUs were not exorbitant like today. Despite one would have thought prices veering around 250 euro for the 7850 in the beginning a bit high.

Those cards finally shot through Crysis' incredible settings and came through with high framerates and dazzling smoothness. I have long since vanished from the gaming field; yet I still remember an article about Crysis which ended with --
'If Crysis’s 2007 release taught us anything, it’s that future isn’t promised. Sometimes today is the best things will ever be.'

Crysis Remastered Review – Maximum Disappointment

Used to be a huge fan of the game and especially the Multiplayer until it shut down with GameSpy in 2014. I actually played the game for 4 years only (2010-2014), but did that so often and so consistently that in retrospect it seems like a decade.

It's a good pairing, I've used a similar combo in the past.

Oh yeah, you'll be good, That 1600 should be able to handle even a 1080ti 3060 range of GPU's pretty well with some minor bottlenecks, but if it ever becomes to much of an issue, you can always get a faster CPU , AM4 got a wide range of CPU's that will work with little effort.

I had a ryzen 1800x, then 2700x, now a 5800X3D

you will get decent performance in most games. (FPS, esports, etc)
But games highly demanding on the CPU will make your PC struggle. (strategy, sims, etc)

Depends of what you do and what you expect.

Also, if you are shopping 2nd hand market, you may also find a used radeon RX580 8Gb cheaper than the 1060 6Gb you have in mind. about same GPU power but more ram on the cheaper radeon.

the op has not given a specs list...monitor? psu? games?

at 1440p and a 32" panel with rtx on he would be at 10fps.

GTX 1060 6GB

That's a bit dated. I have an RTX 3070 with 8GB. Runs everything on Max/Ultra. It came with my rig. Sadly, video cards are expensive right now.
