Does this one seem better and will it perform better than the pervious one with a i5-8400?

 

Also looking for feedback on Game settings like what FPS to expect

 

Thanks!

It will most likely perform better, but you could just go with the 2600, which performs nearly identical to the x variant and switch the 1060 to a 580, which, again, perform nearly identical, and save some more money

get a B450 K4 or tomahawk instead, the gigabyte boards have sucky VRMs.

I prefer Nvidia Graphics card just because I used them a lot and my friend has an AMD Radeon and he has run into problems but can I ask what the difference between 2600 and 2600X is?

1 bad experience among millions of good experiences means nothing, AMD's gotten alot better with their drivers. and the monitor has freesync support. the 2600x has a slightly higher clock speed and better cooler, but you can oc the 2600 anyways.

that's another question I have I'm on a budget so that's why i switched to a Ryzen 5 2600/x because it has the extra 6 threads but how much do u think i could overclock on a stock cooler and is there a certain chipset to do it on like on intel you can only overclock on K-series with z370 boards?

every chipset except A320 will overclock with any ryzen CPU. stock should be good enough for 3.9ghz or so.

And on games like fortnite can i except like idk ultra settings on High/Ultra? and newer games cause i know in the future game developers are making multicore rendering so for most newer games with the 2600 and a GTX 1060 6GB can i play on max vid settings and will i be over 95+ FPS on fortnite

 

also is there a large difference between 2600 and 2600X

Will this motherboard be compatible with the new cpu coming out from AMD cause didn't they say the next CPU will be compatible?

it should remain compatible, but you'll need to update the bios first.
