help a newbie

[ViveLaVita]

So this is my first time ever when it comes to anything computer related. 

I have an old pv which can hardly run games and i've been thinking on upgrading to something big. 

All i know about PC's is self taught and i will appreciate constructive criticism.

I've been watching linus tech tips to help me understand and learn but i've come to a slight problem.

 

The build i'm planning to make is 

CPU - Intel - Core i5-8600 3.1 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU cooler - ARCTIC - Freezer 13 CO 4 CFM Ball Bearing CPU Cooler
motherbaord - MSI - H370 GAMING PRO CARBON ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
memory - G.Skill - Aegis 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
storage - 1 TB
GPU - Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 3 GB Windforce OC Video Card
case - Carbide Spec Omega
SSD - 500GB 

Power supply - Cooler Master MWE 600 Watt Silencio Fan, Modular 80 PLUS
Operating system - windows 10

 

I've used the site pcpartpicker.com and found out it miscalculated the watts the GPU needs. 

 I've tured to this site for help and it will be greatly appreciated.

oh fun... I can burn down a build again

I see some problems and just things that aren't worth getting

 

what is your location, use and budget?

[ViveLaVita]

location is Israel so things are a little bit more expensive.

Buudget isn't really all that matter bucause i am planning to work for months for this thing. but i would say around 1600$ maybe even 2000$ if i really wanna get a beast for a pc

[8lec]

Honestly, don't get the 1060 3gb unless you really really need CUDA. Get the RX 580

Faster RAM would help a bit if can spare the change, and buy 2 sticks of RAM so that you can use dual channel memory. So instead of 1x16gb get 2x8gb

how does dual channel memory work?

Holy crap, that's a lot of money. Get a 1080 with a decent cooler if you can find one that's not overpriced around 600 bucks should be good

Long story short, 2 sticks of RAM is like having 2 straws to drink from instead of one. This is not the best analogy, but it's kinda what it is

the thing is that the powersupply is already with me. i need to build the system around it/

How much 1060 3GB cost in Israel?

600 watts should be plenty

around 300$

600 watts are more than enough for a single 1080(ti). There are lots of great online tools for checking your recommended wattage!

I'd definitely put more of my budget towards a better GPU. And probably more/faster RAM and more hard drive storage.

Then plan the build once you have the money. New stuff will come out by then, prices will have changed, and therefore recommended builds will change too.

Not that different from Europe. May I ask why you choose such mediocre parts which cost way less then your assumed budget?

i have been thinking about going on the 2000$ budget and going for the GTX 1080 8GB with intel core i7-9700k

while this is a good idea, and i thnka you i simply at the moment i want to learn about PC's as well as to have a general plan for the future. i like to plan ahead

i am building the pc from scratch except the power supply, so i need to buy everything needed.

Still your initial setup according to that budget is really odd, much under budget of 2k. Well you have some options provided now, good luck with the build.
