My friend told me that if I go with amd cpu, I will be able to save some money. I was going tonuse i5 6600k. Is there a amd cpu that is similar spec? If so, could you guys make a build using gtx 1060? Cost should be 850 us dollar but lower is fine.     

Finally what is different between intel and amd cpu? Is it just integrated graphics?
