For 1080P gaming. A Geforce 1050, Core i5, 16GB Ram is fine.

If you wish for Ultra settings, 1080P, 60fps, Anti-Aliasing. Then step it up to the Geforce 1060. You don't need to spend a ton of cash on hardware if you are only gaming at 1080P.

Is an i5 even viable anymore now that there is Ryzen?

Sure is. If you intend to overclock that is.
Otherwise Ryzen is easily the superior option from a price/performance/power perspective.

However... Some people will go with a brand regardless of how badly it stacks up to the competition.
