I am building this computer as my first gaming pc.  I was wondering if it is good enough to run games such as Gta V at 1080 and ultra settings, DOOM on ultra, and minecraft with ultra shaders, all at 60+ fps.  Here it is:

Motherboard:  MSI B150M ECO Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Memory: 2 sticks of  Avexir Budget Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

Storage:  A-Data Premier Pro SP900 64GB 2.5" Solid State Drive , 2  Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card:  EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING Video Card

Power Supply:  Corsair CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

It looks pretty good... Possibly not on Ultra, but probably on high or equivalent. If you were looking for ultra, you might want to go with a 6600k OC'd with something like a 1070 or so. Haha, just saw the SSD. 64GB is useless, and I pretty much filled up my 128GB, so you might want to increase that.

Get a MX300 for the $60 as 64GB is too useless.

Make sure the PSU is the grey label.

*Any suggestions and / or criticism is welcome.

I would also recommend some faster 2400Mhz RAM. It doesn't cost more.

GTA is a game that utilizes more than 8GB of ram, you may want to add another stick of 8GB.
