Pc build

[Cantaloupeman]

I really want a gaming pc for christmas but my pc has a pretty decent processor and motherboard etc. My plan was to just get a new case, graphics card, cpu cooler and maybe power supply. Making use of the rest of the parts should save me a lot of money. The picture is the parts i will most likely buy. How good is the graphics card though? It seems way to cheap to be a 1060. My processor that is already in my pc is a radeon a10 5700 quad core. I would appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

Your cpu will more than likely bottleneck the 1060

If i add that in my price is 539$ which is a bit too much for me. What is a better choice in terms of graphics cards and cpus that will be under 400$ or even better 300$

Not by a large margin. He cannot afford to switch to ddr4.
