Hello, I'm confused as to what to buy a ryzen 1600 and gtx 1660 ti or ryzen 2600 and Rx 580/gtx 1660. The price of both combos is same. Please help.

What's the resolution you're gayming at? I would say the 1600 and 1660 Ti would be great, but the 2600 has a slight advantage. I currently use a 2600 and a 1660 Ti myself and they balance each other out quite well. The RX 580 is considerably slower (based on the old GCN architecture) compared to the 1660 Ti in most aspects.

 

tl;dr: 1600 with 1660 Ti, but go for 2600 if you can.

If I go with 2600 I'm going 87 dollars over my budget

GCN had new variants as new as January 2019. If that isn't new, then RTX is OLD.

1600 with 1660Ti then. Or, even better, 1600 with Vega 56.
