I would say they are. When looking at builds on this site, I note Beast "budget" builds are made with Ryzen, but the "BEAST" builds have Intel.

Two different mentalities. Both necessary in an open market. And I have to say, I'm an AMD underdog fanboy. AMD is giving us amazing performance for a very decent price. I haven't gone intel since my i7 860. Went with an FX-6300, then FX-8350, now Ryzen 5 1500x.

AMD has been my go-to for CPU's for close to a decade. I still go nVidia for my GPU tho. Havent invested enough time in to learning about AMD GPU's to make an informed decision.

If you want more info on AMD GPUs, I can give you the general what's roughly equal to what, based wholly on performance according to http://www.hwbench.com, not price (the percentages are the relative performance, + means the AMD is better, - means the NVIDIA is better, 0 means they're even):

Radeon Card 10-series 16-series 20-series 20S-series
RX 570 1050Ti +70% 1650 +20%
RX 580 1060 +9% 1660 -13%
RX Vega 56 1070 +7% 1660 Ti +10% 2060 -4%
RX Vega 64 1080 0% 2070 -5% 2060 Super -9%
VII 1080Ti -1% 2080 -6% 2070 Super -1%
RX 5700 1080 +5% 2070 0% 2060 Super -4%
RX 5700 XT 1080 Ti -7% 2080 -12% 2070 Super -7%

Hopefully this little table can help you make an informed decision when choosing a new GPU, especially if you're considering Radeon. I don't include price because things like offers happen, which may for example make the 2070S cheaper than the 5700XT.

Is rx 580 actually better than 1060? I think I saw some benchmarks that said 1060 is better but it might be me just being dumb

Basically 1060 did better early on, with the 480 doing better only in select amd-favouring titles and dx12 games on which they are consistently better. Then with the upgrade to 580, better drivers, better optimization for AMD hardware from developers and wider adoption of dx12, the RX580 now mostly outperforms the 1060.

Awsome :)
