Trying to build a gaming pc for about 500$. I'd like some opinions on this system:

 

MOBO: ASROCK H110M-DGS mATX

CPU: INTEL i5-6402P 

GPU: GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce OC, 3GB GDDR5 

RAM: KINGSTON ValueRAM 8GB DDR4, 2133MHz, CL15, KVR21N15D8/8

PSU: 400W (nothing special about it just using the old one)

HDD: 500 GB WD Black (from my laptop)

Case: Its an old case(8 years + maybe). Any way to find out if its supports mATX motherboards ?

 

Total: 535$ (Im from Romania and i cant order from amazon or other sites like that to make it cheaper; taxes and transport would blow the budget)

 

Is it good? Any bottlenecks?

Not looking to overclock or stress any component, just trying to build a pc that i can use and easily upgrade over the years.

Looks very good. Just be careful with your power supply, don't want it blowing your computer up

All the parts are good but i would reccomend a better CPU

The CPU is fine, it clocks higher than the i5-6400 (by 100MHz)

This is the PSU:

 

fcded0e5213698fb378c7bd3fea55fb5-297052-

 

As i said nothing special.... I could downgrade to a i3-6100 and get a better PSU if that's ok. ( and if it will not bottleneck the pc)
Or at least i will change the PSU in a month or so after pay day  ( if its not that bad)

month after pay day, get 500W or 550W and that should be good enough when you add in parts later when you feel like.
