NEED IMMEDIANT HELP! RX480 VS 1060 FE

[SomeTeenThatLovesComputers]

MSI Radeon RX 580 DirectX 12 RX 580 ARMOR MK2 8G OC 8GB         vs          NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Founders Edition 6GB

which one is better? I've picked out a budget build that includes this RX 480 and I want to know if it performs great. But simply looking this up doesn't help me because there are too many websites saying different things. Can someone here with experience help me out?

 

(I realize the build I've put together doesn't include a PSU or storage. I already have that in a closet somewhere)

120mm AIOs aren't much better than $25 tower coolers

 

Should buy Ryzen 2000 anyways, worth it for the long haul.

 

RX 580 for free-sync saving. Just get this one instead?

Should just get a case with a full mesh front.

I have 2 3.5" HDDs and 1 SSD. Only 1 HDD will fit that case but that card will help, thanks

I dont play many these days, Space Engineers (eats RAM), Garrys Mod, CSGO. Things like that. My current build has issues trying to multi-thread. I cant use VMware with it

Either card will go through Space Engineers as well as it can and GMod and CS just fine. Get whatever's cheaper.

Then just get a Masterbox 5 Black

 

The Q300L is just a neat case, but you can probably find another spot to mount a 3.5" drive, case is full of holes.

Space Engineers runs like shit on my PC (RAM eating contest winner 2 years in a row) so RAM is the biggest issue there

I dont plan on playing it again. The game has just become an unorganized mess, the way it loads addons is inefficient and RAM eating.
