yours is - although the processor is multiple generations old it will perform better

[The_Askinator]

You're is better, he doesen't have any real storage, you have some storage.

His, sorry but with an AM3 build there's no upgrade path on that at all, i'd go with the I5 instead only real reason to get an FX cpu is because it's cheap and DX12, pretty much it.

it will perform better 8gb of vram > 3gb even though there is an amd processor

kinda obvious who would win for a budget build

well if your doing that then atleast put it on fair grounds. a 6gb 1060 matches a 480 8gb. 

the intel(nividia) build would've won with a few modifications to fit that into the price 

[Aereldor]

His is better, because your pick of AM3 is stupid. Neither is the best value.

I understand what was meant here though the true best build as some are pointing out would be the 6500 plus the rx480, which I agree to.

Gotta be willing go anywhere, even at the fireplace market to get the best deal sometimes.

@Megah3rtz

Certainly that nickname had its value at some point, not th kind of compromise I am willing to make having my nick bounded to it forever though

From performance, his build is considerably faster, but would you notice? Maybe. I use a 120GB SSD for  along time as my only drive, I only needed a 500GB HDD when I moved back to windows so that isn't an issue in my mind, now yours would be better if overclocked in the CPU department, but GPU it's a bit of a stale mate. 

[iRileyx]

Depends what you're using it for, if you were to do alot of video editing and rendering, i'd maybe say your build would be better.
