Here are the specs:-

You would be fine with a GTX 1060 and a 550W PSU. The H60 isn't great value either. A cooler such as the CM Evo 212 would probably perform as well.

The build overall looks good, but I see you have a 6600K and the Corsair H60 cooler. Are you planning on doing any major overclocking? Just asking because while the H60 is a fine cooler for what it is, it may hold you back for what you might be able to get as a max overclock vs something a bit larger. Since you are going full ATX you have plenty of room for a larger cooler. Again, the H60 will work fine, and its a quality cooler, just maybe not up to the highest overclocks you might otherwise be able to get. The rest looks great.

I don't need a powerful cooler as of now, but I'm thinking of upgrading to a H115i later.

Some Seagate 2TB hdd models have very bad reputations.

Like I said, the H60 is a fine cooler and you still will be able to overclock to a degree. If you want to upgrade eventually, fine, you just might want to consider something a little more future proof now and not have to purchase it twice. That's all I was suggesting.

Like I said, as of now I'm working with a budget and want a cooler that will keep the CPU cool and let me overclock a little bit (if want to, although unlikely in the near future) as well. Thanks for the advice anyway.
