I was wondering

Is The AMD Radeon RX 580 a good GPU to pair with an i5 8600k, and do you know the approximate FPS on some games.

Depends on your budget.  RX 580/GTX 1060 are in the same price/perf ballpark though.

yes, so long as you get the 8gb. 90 fps on ultra 1080p BF1

Yes.

 

As far as the approximate FPS, it depends on the settings. But you can find that information if you look for various reviews on it (thankfully someone has a list of reviews: http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=69687&p=605360)

 580s have more vram so are better in larger games

Well I had a RX480 8GB paired with a 6600k in the past and it could max out almost everything at 1080p and hold 60fps. At 1440p it was more like medium settings to get 60fps. What game comes to mind with these settings was Ghost Recon Wildlands. It's a solid card for 1080p gaming.

..and your components are a slight upgrade of both of what I had ^^^

No, not unless you are talking about the 3gb 1060.

 

6gb to 8gb generally makes zero difference.  NV cards tend to also do better in VRAM restricted scenarios, so 6gb = 8gb for all intent and purpose.

[D13H4RD]

Yeah, why not?

 

The RX580 pairs well with an 8600K.

You could fairly comfortably run a 1080ti on an 8600k and have no problems. The 580 is a great GPU if you can get it at a good price. Used cards are a great option though, something like a 980ti/ Fury X will be cheaper than a 580/1060 and smash it in performance.
