Not bad, but 1060 is not as good as 480 8GB and more expensive and that PSU is a waste of money and total crap quality

btw, the NEX isn't bad because of the quality(its pretty decent actually) but it performs pretty badly compared to other similarly prices psus.

fits in the budget, more games take advantage of more threads nowadays, etc. if OP doesn't want the 6700 just downgrade it to a 6600 and then add an SSD and some extra RAM. or a better display

[CatXice]

change to 16gb of ram get a 1070 or rx480 550w psu a cheaper case

 

edit change to kaby lake as they are £10 cheaper normally

Tiny bit more money and you can get an i7 6700K with an RX 480 and free-sync display

at minimum you should be able to fit in a locked i7 and RX 480 with the same free-sync display

 

Or get a 1080p 60hz IPS display for around $99, the display in the build below is TN but 75Hz

If nothing else swap out the GPU for an XFX GTR 480 8GB
