A, but what will you be doing? Single threaded is better on i5 but overall is better on ryzen.

He edited in b after, at first there was only a for some reason.

For gaming

[BloodyWaters]

For gaming B

 

For common sense A

[Computerjunk]

Depends on workload, personally I vote for B.

If you have sufficient cooling, good PSU, and an overclockable motherboard then you should overclock it

[just_dave]

Maybe posting entire partpicker lists would help.

R5 1600 will be the best even with the new overpriced Skylake revision.

For gaming, most likely C. End of next week should see benchmarks. It may be a bit more expensive.

 

C: i5-8600K (6 core, up to 4.3GHz), 2x8GB memory, GTX 1060 6GB.

[TheGlenlivet]

A.  In 2 years there will still be new CPUs to upgrade that motherboard with. 

B is a dead platform.

[Colin Donoghue]

go for A but get the 1600 instead it comes with a stock cooler and if you want you can get a nice cooler and overclock it and save a buck

[jcoops]

8th gen is rumored to release October 5th.  Just give it a little bit.

[GAMINGGUY]

 I would say build A unless you can boost up a hundred bucks and get an i7 6700k on build B
