The pc itself is Good and balanced, the price however i cant Tell, i don't live in the US.

 

Edit:

You can get a 500W PSU, Corsair or evga, and check if an h110 mobo is enough for your needs

Ultra is stupid. ALWAYS.

This is my first gaming PC that I've built and I was wondering if it was good for the money. I've done a lot of research on the components?

What? Boot Windows time? Loading time in game?

Better and cheaper: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nB3RsY/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze

Check PSU tier list

 

The loading times isn't even the biggest advantage. Everyday tasks like opening applications and going through folders in explorer will be just a fraction faster. It is marginal, but enough for me to get irritated, when using an HDD. 

 

So please, OP, do yourself a favor and get an SSD.

Summary:

  • Swapped the 1060 for a better cooled, better looking (imo) card that is also cheaper
  • Swapped for a 650W G2 (only $5 more than 550W version so why not)
  • 16GB of Blue LED ram to match that case
  • Cheaper, neutral colored mobo to match build better and allow for the upgrades :)

650w is totally not needed at all

I agree. This PC will not exceed 300W under full load.

If he can afford to put an ssd in the rig then go for it. I have an SSD in my server and it helps quite a bit. Im just not supportive of it due to the budget

GOT IT

 

still 16GB, i5, 1060 6GB. Dropped to the SeaSonic 620W, and to a i5 6400. Barely a noticeable performance difference, and with the SSD everything will boot up right quick!

Yes, I am absolutely positive. Your configuration will most likely use around 200W - 230W under full load.

Go for a Corsair CX550 or something

I did not suggest opting for a 300W PSU. PSU around 500W would be the ideal range.
