Tbh, the only thing that changes and you should keep your eye on is Mobo's.

For an extra 9$, you can get a faster kit of RAM If your budget allows.

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3200

Same kit i have, works wonders. Extra 200mhz for 9 bucks.

 

If you are solid on getting G.Skill memory, ignore me :)

200MHz probably makes little difference, not worth $9 imo. But the low profile heat lpreaders might be worth it.

I can always add something better for a little bit of money but i can't do that because where i live adding 9$ makes it 20$ for me, this comes around 1,600$ which is A LOT so i can't add anything else, Yes i did cheap out on the motherboard because i didn't want to cheap out more on the GPU the only reason i went with 1060 because it's 550$ and more here, 

Hell in USA with 1,600$ u can fit a 1080 and more

Hi there :)

 

Glad to see you've decided to build a PC and that you have picked your parts. It seems like a well planned build and you shouldn't have problems with them.

What are you going to use the build for? If it's gaming, what settings and specific game titles are you after? 

Have in mind that the CPU, amount of memory or some of the other parts may be a bit overkill for some types of gaming.

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^

In that case you should be good and the PC should suffice for your needs quite well. I'd check the different requirements of the programs that you will be using and some feedback from people that already use them if these applications use more memory, CPU, GPU, etc. :) Let me know if you need assistance with anything else!
