bit expensive for a 1060. with $150 you should be able to get a new 1650 super, which is better than the 1060.

its 130

Buy a 1650 super for 150.

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

made a few changes:

the tomahawk is extremely overpriced

ryzen 2000 series generally struggles with 3000+ ram

kingston a400 is one of the slowest ssds and 120gb is not enough for a modern system

managed to get a 1660 super in for the budget

the h510 is a hot box, not recommended

added a much better psu
