-I am really new to this whole "building my own computer" thing and i would like some suggestions or corrections on the build below:

 

motherboard:GIGABYTE GA-H110M-DS2 

psu:CORSAIR VS SERIES VS450 - 450W

hdd:WESTERN DIGITAL WD10EZEX 1TB CAVIAR BLUE SATA3

ram:CORSAIR CMV4GX4M1A2133C15 4GB DDR4 2133MHZ VALUE SELECT

cpu:INTEL CORE I3-6100 3.70GHZ LGA1151

gpu:VGA ASUS AMD RADEON RX460 STRIX-RX460-O4G-GAMING 4GB GDDR5 

 

-It will take time to gather all the money i need(i cant make my own money at the given moment) so i have time changing any of those.I am not even sure if any of the above make any sense as a budget gaming computer.

-The total budget im planing top spend on this one is 500euros maxmim.

-The games im planing to run on that machine is mass effect andromeda which i believe will be able to do it afer checking the game system requirments,MMORPGs and osme of the latest titles(i dotn care about max settings at over the top FPS). 

-(est cost:560EUROS or 596USD)

As everyone says - better PSU. Does anyone know why that board has "DDR3" stuck on the end of it's name in some places?

It's not that the wattage provided by the unit is too low, it's that the units design is very low quality. The VS series is easily the worst power supplies Corsair has ever made.

You only used a single stick of RAM, single channel config is really going to hold that i3 back.

 

Also, the G1 Gaming version of the RX 480 is by far the worst RX 480 I've ever seen.

 

The power supply you chose really isn't that much better. Sure, it's the newer CXM series, but I don't feel that the original low quality design of the CX series has been improved enough for me to recommend the newer ones.

why do i need both an hdd and ssd?

You don't really... The SSD will run Windows much faster than an HDD, but you don't really need an HDD unless you fill up your SSD.

There are two versions of that board. One uses DDR4, the other uses DDR3. Don't use DDR3 with Skylake, just don't.

That's what confused me. I remember seeing something about Skylake being able to use it, but not very well...

Skylake can use DDR3L (DDR3 Low Voltage). Standard DDR3 draws too much power and will damage the integrated memory controller in the CPU. To prevent people from accidentally buying the wrong DDR3, I simply suggest against it.

So i am planing to buy this system:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

+...but i cant really decide which psu i should get(Mainly because ive heard people taling about some not-so-good ones and i totaly dont want to buy a bad one)

+Theres a compatibility note saying :Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Cooler Master Elite 370 ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports.I would like to know if i can jsut skip it and buy the case or how will it afect the whole system(?).

+I am open to anny corrections on the thing :-D

(PLEASE NOTE:im after a budget gamin computer and i want to keep the prices it as low as posible)
