My First budget Build

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PKM2nn

This build was meant to be up-gradable. I have bought my GPU my Motherboard and My case. I am certain I want a mini itx. I cant deicide between this cpu or a pentium g4560. I believe this CPU is good enough for me since I don't play that many games anymore. I want some recommendations on what I could change. I wanted this to be a $550 build and I think I hit it, I also have a spare m.2 ssd from my gaming laptop

looks good, but i'd go with the g4560, or a i5 6400. the i3's just arent worth it

Go with the g4560, its basically the same thing as a i3 at this point.

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself

Swap out the power supply for something better. Anything from tier 1-3 on this list here.

if youre looking to build one and save some bread 550, screw it spend the extra 200-250 and just put together a half way decent amd itll run better than an i3. I dunno, I feel like AMD's are great for project computers.

Changed the CPU and PSU. Personally, I don't recommend the 3GB variant for the GTX 1060. But since you already bought it, forget what I said.

Still have about $50 to spare. If you are not familiar with the BIOS update, you can go for B250 mobo. Also, despite 200MHz lower clock, the G4560 is almost half the price of the i3 6100.
