It looks ok, from what i have seen, the 480 performs nicely on Overwatch and H1Z1. I had the same choice as you, but i went for the 1060 because of preference. The RX 480 performs better than the 1060 on DirectX 12 games though, so you should be fine with the 480 for a while.

The Cards are pretty similar to be fair, you probably will get slightly nicer graphics from the RX 480 although I wouldn't call it a notable difference, it's down to preference, personally I'd go 1060 but I've always found Nvidia to be more reliable

Completely fine :)

Overwatch, H1Z1, LoL, and I'm wondering if the 1060 will be a better choice for my needs.

Well on an average based on all (newer) games, the RX480 equal to the 1060 in DX11 (in terms of performance) with the RX480 being the better card in DX12 so... :P

CBA checking right now but for quite a few times, you were able to get a RX480 4GB for like $145 or something like that... (after rebates ovb)

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

In some games yes. In other games it will show great impact on cpu performance rather than putting the load onto the graphics card. Depends on what games he plays. @deXxterlab97

I agree but the 2 processors in question is a 6500 and 6600K, neither of which will struggle playing any modern CPU heavy games even on a high detail setting so it doesn't really matter what games he plays :P

That is true. These 2 processors are not too far apart either. But with an overclockable 6600k it would show some more performance with cpu intensive games then that of a non overclockable 6500.

oh most certainly, I would still of thought you'd be better with the 6500 and the RX 480 rather than 6600k and the RX 470, whilst differences are very minimal still better off to have a slightly better graphics than CPU

I find it funny that both the rx 480 and rx 470 are not that far apart either. :)

But in this scenario of 6500+480 vs 6600K+470, the 6500 and RX480 combo will more or less always win as the difference between the RX480 and RX470 is larger than the difference between the 6500 and 6600K.

Well it's literally 970 vs 980 so...yeah, not the biggest difference ever :P

Yeah it's not really much of a difference that you'd notice if you went either way, I think the bit I overlooked was that the 2nd build has no SSD lol, would probably effect the system more than anything else aha

I don't think theres a huge difference between the 6500 and 7400 to be honest, 6500 has a better base and turbo clock speed? Not sure why they've done that but its very minimal anyway, for me the original build is still probably the one I'd go for
