first off, how dare you criticize fx series, the fx-8350 is still one of the best budget cpu´s you can get nowadays, also, trying to keep this build sub 500 and have good gaming performance so gpu is going to be a big chunk of the build, so yeah.

 

Also, in the list that Cereal posted, he put an rx 570, which is outperformed by the 1060 in almost all cases.

no. The FX 8000 chips are smashed in games by a lowly ryzen 1200 in games and evenly matched in rendering, while having a much better upgrade path. the 570 trades blows with the 1060 3gb, the 1060 doesn't beat it in "almost all cases".

If you aren't gonna listen when you're asking for advice, then don't ask.

wow, never really saw these benchmarks before, so i guess u right, also, I want onto user benchmark and the 570 8gb was almost as good as the 1060 for less so, I guess I can critique my build towards that then stick a ryzen 3 in there
