IMHO drop the ssd.  You can get one in a a few weeks months or even a year and it won't have a massive hit on the gaming while changing almostanything else would.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Yeah lots of people have said that to me but honestly I would rather buy everything now than wait.

 

But if it's impossible, I'm open to the idea

Also, what are you trying to play that needs more than 3gb on a 1060?

3gb of vram won't be enough in the near future, some games are already seeing vram bottlenecks. the RX 570 would be a better choice and around the same price range.

Also, is it necessary to have a Wireless Network Adapter?

Have you ever used a 1060 with 3gb?

No?

Okay.

Why would I buy something that is borked ? It isn't even a GTX 1060 with half the Vram as one of the streaming processors has been disabled. A 3GB gpu isn't going to cut it for 1080p gaming without compromises.

if you can get an Ethernet cable connected to the rig, don't bother with a wireless adaptor.
