I'm planning to assemble my first gaming PC and need advice on choosing a CPU for the Radeon RX 580. I'm considering either the Ryzen 5 1600 or the Ryzen 3 3100. The rest of the details are already listed.

Not the Ryzen 5 1600 at 228$, think Ryzen 3100 which might be more affordable. For graphics, skip the RX 580 at 223$, consider a GeForce 1660 Super instead.

Thanks, but the RX 580 costs around $170 there. The GTX 1660 is $240, and the Super variant is $289.
