What CPU would be better for 1080p

I am in the process of building a PC and was planning on going with a ryzen 5 5600 with an Intel arc b580, but i have found a discount on a rtx 5060 for 310€ (the Intel IS 290€) I i dont know with options would be better.

The 5060 is faster, just less vram. It should not matter too much on 1080p.

With that price difference I would go 5060.

5060 is much better than the b580 unless your only goal is like max settings 4k / 1440p at like 30-60fps where the extra vram on the 580 would be necessary. If you are on 1080p or 1440p but willing to turn down some settings to stay within the 8 gigs of vram you'll get more frames out of the 5060 and a better feature set.

9060xt if available with the 5600

That's not a good option, where i live those are 400€ or above

So the 5060 but it's not ideal tbh

Could you elaborate, why isn't It ideal?
Requirement_Fluid@reddit
Lack of ram and 8 pcie lanes meaning if it runs out of ram it'll hit your system memory slower than the 9060xt.
The gpu core is faster in the 9060 as well unless you are needing cuda cores

The price should be lower for the 5060

5060 is a good buy at around the same price. Really comes down to primary usage. If playing a mix of older games and new, rtx a good option at 1080p.

5060 is fine! In the current market you won't find a better deal. Also people saying 310€ is not good price are not understanding that it has already all the tax included. 310€ for a 5060 is fine!

I'd go for the 5060 in that case, the B580 tends to have a bit more CPU overhead in lighter games and 1080P mostly won't stress the 5060's reduced VRAM capacity unless you're actively trying to run out of VRAM.
For 1440P I'd go the other direction, though there's some chance the 5060 still takes wins in some games.

You mean GPU?

Yes
