Nice job. I personally wouldnt say the video card is better and i hope whoever buys this already has windows and i hope you trust all those places your ordering from. But that aside if you already have windows this is a great choice.  I hope all your parts come to you working fine cause i bet you will have a hell of a time getting replacements. Thank you for your comment . We need as much true info out there as possible.

The RX 580 8GB is definitely better than the GTX 1060 3GB.

You can get Windows for free and remove the "Activate Windows" thing through certain scripts that I'm not going to post here

 

Yeah all those places are legit

I don't think a current generation i3 is the best use of your money. DDR4 is expensive. I used an i7 3770 prebuilt I got for free, then got an RX 580 off Ebay. When you add in the cost of the new power supply and USB 3.0 card, I got a VR ready PC for around $300.

Does it work with a ryzen 5 and Rx 580 build?
