That's a good setup for 1080p/60 FPS gaming.

Yeah, that should handle most titles at 1080p but not at ultra settings. Step up to a 1070 for that.

I would look at the new AMD processors over an i5.

depends on what you're doing and what games you're playing.
With intel you'll get Optane and h265 10 bit encoding/decoding,

There is only a few games out that the 1060 6GB cannot handle on Ultra at 1080p. Remember the GTX 1060 6GB is only around 8% less powerful then a GTX 980.

By handle, I mean never dipping below 60fps for any reason and the 1060 can't do that on ultra for almost any game. A 1070 or RX 580 can.

What are you talking about? The GTX 1060 6GB card is more powerful then the RX 480 in DX 11 games and only a few frames behind in DX 12 games. It is about even with the 580 in DX 11 games.

I've seen those before, it just hasn't been my experience. The 1060 tends to get visible microstutter that the 480/580 doesn't.
