1. Not a 1060 3GB. At least a 480 4GB. 1060 3gb is not really a great card for its value

2. Overspent on PSU too much. 450w-550w is enough

3. 212 Evo is nice but there are nicer cooler for the money

Damn you swedes. Drop to an i5 6600k and keep 1070? How is that then? Also again, don't get 1060 3GB. Get a 1060 6GB or 480 8GB. Even a 480 4GB is bettter

The PSU, Mobo, Cooler, memory, GPU and case are not even available here i think. And the 1060 6GB is $90 more expenisve than the 3GB. 

But the Sapphire RX 480 4GB NITRO+ is the same price as the 1060 3GB, is that a better option?

Yeah it is way better. 

Get cheaper PSU then, CX450M would be more than fine

Just noticed that the RX 480 is $10 cheaper than the 1060.

But what about the Fractal Design Integra M 550W? Is it better? Atleast it's $10 cheaper than the Corsair one.
