Budget PC - CPU question

[blarferz]

I just recently purchased the 1060 3gb GPU for the deal of the day on Amazon. I figured this is a good price that I won't find for a while. However, I am not that adept in all things PC, so I am curious what CPU I should pair it with. I am not trying to break my bank, and I am not super worried about performance. I have a Ryzen 3 1300x in my pcpartspicker list right now, and that's probably about as high as I'm willing to pay for my CPU. Would this CPU pair well with the 1060? Also, an MSI B350M motherboard should pair fine with both, right? Thanks!

that will work, but the i3-8100 is good with a b360m ds3h, both of them are very similar with the intel getting a 2-3% increase in  performance.

can I see your part list?

B350 is for AMD and B360 is for Intel. If you don't wanna overclock, Buy H310 for Intel.

 

Here is the comparison between 1300x and 8100 with 1060 3GB
