How does this build look?

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/62pGkT

Any recommendations? We're going for budget (Myself and a friend building the same PC), and it'll need to run 1080p at decent settings on games like Overwatch and such. Maybe even do some video recording.

How does it look though?

I highly recommend you to add a small SSD for boot drive, it really make your computer really fast, more like a 2016 computer.

 

Your i3 6100 already have fan included, unless you need better cooling, I don't see the need for those heatsink and fan.

 

Do you really need the Wireless AC?  If not you can get the cheaper one without it.

You wont need the cooler considering the cpu comes with the stock one

 

You can get a Gigabyte GA-110M-A Motherboard, its about 10-20$ cheaper and would fit that case better.

 

But if you can use the money you saved on those two parts, get an SSD for boot drive.

That 1060 will be bottlenecked by that core i3 if you're going to play games.

It's decent build for the money. The only thing i don't understand is why you take mini itx motherboard for micro atx case. I am pretty sure you would find micro atx motherboard that has same features for less money than mini itx :) Also you can use stock cooler,that saves few $ aswell :)

I recommend you to get Samsung 850 EVO series SSD if you can, or 750 EVO also works just fine.

 

You don't need the extra fan. The one comes with your processor works just fine.

 

Edit: from previous posters, the case support Micro ATX board, you better go with Micro ATX motherboard. It is cheaper and more ports.

How so? And could I OC to lighten the bottleneck?

We're not going to be playing at 4k either, only 1080p

I would definitely get an i5 and an RX 480 4 GB instead of the 1060 3 GB.

That looks like a good build. 

Oh, 1 thing is that I'll have to change the Case out because of compatibility.
