Is that because of the pricing?

- pricing 

- more vram

- better driver support 

- faster card

@nerdslayer1 or @Eazy Cheezy what is the best card for £250 ($322)?

The 6600k is a huge waste of money when it's causing you to buy a lower end gpu like a GTX 1050 Ti. By dropping to a locked i5 you could fix an RX 580 8GB and 16 GB of RAM in and still come in under your original budget (your build is blowing way too much money on the motherboard).

My pick is the 1060 with its higher clock speeds and lower TDP. Nvidia cards also have a tendency to be better at cooling than AMD but that's just my opinion. And we all know what they say about opinions @m.attway...

You could even go with a Ryzen R5 1600 + RX 580 build for your original budget:

i would go for a rx480/580 or get a used 980ti( if you can find one for this cheap). 

@SteveGrabowski0 , its are not worth it anymore, ryzen 1600 is much better. 

 

 

[m.attway]

So @nerdslayer1 @SteveGrabowski0 is the Ryzen 1600 better than i5-7500

yes, by a large margin, a ryzen 1600 is a 5820k (6c/12t) cpu .

@SteveGrabowski0Do you think there is an alternative ATX Mobo and alternative RAM seeing as I need only 8GB is there just a 1x8GB version of that one?

If you only need 8GB get two 4GB sticks to use in dual channel.

Absolutely, I'd spend the extra few pounds for an R5 1600 over an i5-7500, and I wouldn't even bother with the unlocked i5s (at least the locked i5 can be options for really tight budgets, but R5 1600 is a much better buy than 7600k or 6600k).

What about an ATX Mobo instead of Micro ATX

@Eazy Cheezy @SteveGrabowski0@nerdslayer1 Final question to all of you, this is the decider for the graphics card! Which one?https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/jZJkcf,KQQRsY,TTfmP6/

I don't see a difference between the Gigabyte - Radeon RX 580 8GB Gaming 8G Video Card and the MSI - Radeon RX 580 8GB ARMOR OC Video Card except the Boost Clock as a bit higher?

there isn't much 

[m.attway]

hmm ok, well thanks! But I'm gonna go with the MSI one primarily because I don't like to red as I am going for a white and black look!

[m.attway]

Well, it's done! It may not be to everyone's liking but I like it! Here is a link! https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/M.attway/saved/hHnD3C Thanks to @nerdslayer1 @SteveGrabowski0 @Eazy Cheezy

So a 1060 could game at 4K ultra settings and a 1070 is great for 4K so your telling the truth is fake and I'm on a drug trip when I'm at my friends house 

the 1060 can not run 4k in ultra, with games like the witcher 3 etc. the 1070 barely can. Your friend is either lying, or has a completely differend card in his PC. Or he's player low demanding games on 4k. We're not telling you the truth is fake, thats what you're telling us.
