[SOLVED] which is The Best Budget Combos ?

[PROPAL]

What do you think ?

Intel Core i3 8100 with nvidia GTX1060 or
Intel Core i3 8100 with AMD RX580 or
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 with AMD RX580 ?

The Budget is arround $450 for CPU and GPU

R5 2600 and RX 580.

Ryzen 5 with RX 580, if you're looking for 1080p gaming, on latest or recent titles.

Definitely the Ryzen 5 1600 with the RX 580. The GTX 1060 is similar but it's already starting to fall behind the RX 580 in many games.
The Ryzen 5 1600 is way more futureproof than the i3-8100 is. Get that.

Thanks for the responses, 2600 is $50 more expensive than 1600 in my country so i think i will take 1600

Nothing is "future proof", and I wish people would quit using that terminology. Anything you buy today, will be obsolete within a year or two. That has always been the case and will probably always be the case. Even buying the highest end component doesn't "proof" you against anything in the future. And an R5 1600 isn't any more likely to be relevant or capable a year or two from now than the i3-8100 is. It simply has more cores. It does not even have as good of single core performance as the i3-8100.

So the only benefit it actually has is a few more cores and threads, but more importantly that motherboard will support all AMD desktop CPU releases through 2021 which means the platform has longer legs, but the CPU itself, is already outdated being already two years old.
