Hi there, 
I have an old Phenom 8450 with HD4850 and 3 GB of RAM. My GPU died recently and i think that it's not worth buying a new GPU on this system so I'm planning to buy a new PC. I live in Bosnia and prices are meeeh and there is a fair share of import tax if i order from another country. I found this PC and I'm thinking of buying it. My main goal is 1080p gaming. But i want some opinions first. Thanks in advance. 
 

CPU: Intel i5 6500 3.6GHZ
Motherboard: Gigabyte H110M-DS2 DDR4
RAM: 8GB Kinston Fury 2400Mhz DDR4
GPU: INNO3D DUAL FAN GTX 1060 3GB OC       (6GB is 55 € more and performance difference isn't worth it for me)
HDD: 500GB WD BLACK                                           (SSD maybe later when i get some more money)
PSU: LCPower 600W
CASE: MS Ranger
 
Price: 633 €   (673 USD) 
 
 
And i have a VGA monitor only, does anybody have experience with HDMI to VGA adapters. Do they always work, i only know that it has to be an active adapter. 
 
(Sorry for any spelling mistakes)

Why don't you build your own?

HDD - Go for WD Blue 1TB. WD Black isn't worth it.

PSU - Questionable build quality, get a better one.

Well i can change parts from their store for example i can choose any PSU  or GPU or anything that they have in store and they will put it in.
I'm not building on my own because i calculated it and if i use new parts i can't  get it much or any cheaper and if I use used parts i don't have warranty and even with new parts if i get something that doesn't work i have to pay to mail it back and pay mail again when receiving  a new part.

What you've calculated?

You can buy parts from store and build it yourself.

Also, I didn't mention about getting used parts.
