I would agree with this build. It is a great value, and a compact form factor.

Besides the case I'd say this is a really nice rig. I'm all for NVIDIA at this pricepoint but a 8GB RX 480 isn't a bad choice either (can often go for about $185 on sale)

any reason why you must have an nvidia GPU? an amd rx 480 8gb will be just as good in games but much cheaper, enough to get you a 240gb ssd and/or better case on @deXxterlab97's build.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

Swap out the memory for a 2x4GB kit of Crucial Ballistix RAM. Only costs $5 more, and dual channel offers a tangible benefit.

Yeah but then he can't upgrade to 16 gb in the future

Ah right. Fair enough. 

 

Never would I invest in a mobo with 2 DIMM slots even if I were on a shoestring budget, but to each their own.

16 is still plenty for use and 1 stick of 8gb often costs less than 2 sticks of 4gb

h110 mobo often costs less than b150 with 4 dimm slots too

that 2 dimm slots isn't as bad as before, ddr4 has 16gb dimms avaliable which would make a 2-slot mobo accept up to 32gb of ddr4.

I still think OP should give AMD a look, as far as GPU is concerned.

 

RX 480 instead of a GTX 1060 would net him ~5% better performance, but yet it would allow him to double his SSD size or buy a better case.

Awesome build.  One little change: please a different case.  I used a cheapie Rosewill case like that for my secondary desktop and it was really bad...
