I can't choose!

[Hottamale35]

I am building a new computer (under budget) and need some help deciding between two main cpu/graphics card options.  Option 1 is an intel i3 6100 at 3.7 ghz with a radeon rx 470 priced around $315.  The other is an AMD A4 6300 3.7 ghz with an gtx 1060.  This is prized at around $275.  I realize intel is probably the better cpu in the long run, but I really want the 1060, and with the price, its better with a slightly cheaper cpu at $50 instead of $110!  Should I take the cheaper option with the the 1060, or the way more expensive option for the intel i3.  Please help.  Thank you!

I Should do just a Intel cpu And a lower gtx.

 

Amd and gtx doesnt work that good togehter

Get the i3 and the 470/

 

The a4's are much slower and will be a severe bottlneck.

You could always go second hand?

just ask beforehand if the seller will give a receipt so you can claim warranty if you need to?

AMD and Nvidia work amazingly together, just the same as Intel Nvidia does. AMD CPU's (and APU's) are old technology now and are not worth making a new build with unless secondhand prices become pretty amazing. 

please refrain from posting suggestions on things you clearly have little understanding of.

If you can find an rx 480 that's similarly priced to the rx 470, you should buy that instead

I would recommend the i3-6100 and the 470, as it has a better upgrade path and the A4 will bottleneck it

[Hottamale35]

Would the AMD also bottleneck the Radeon RX 470?
