I'd defo try for a 1060 6GB (the 3GB isn't much better than a 1050 Ti, IMO), but a PSU is important, and SSDs are hard to fit in on a budget. I'd recommend to get a decent case that's not too expensive, a solid PSU, and the best GPU you can get. You can always get an SSD later, whereas a GPU is a pretty expensive upgrade.

yh im planning on getting an ssd later any ways :) should have put that in the main post.

 

also the pc will not be for gaming primarily as i already have a pc with a 1060 6gb in it. It will mainly be a rendering/ video editing pc.

Then a 1060 3Gb or 1050 Ti should be fine.

You're missing a cooler. Don't get 2133MHz RAM with Ryzen. Don't get a 1050Ti. Get a better PSU and motherboard. Get an SSD too.

Try to get an RX 570 or 580 instead for less than a 6GB 1060. However, 570s and 580s appear to be ridiculously over priced now, as opposed to just out of stock everywhere, so NVidia might be your only option. If you cant find a well priced 570/580 and need it cheaper, get a 3GB GTX 1060.

Use pcpartpicker for your builds it helps a lot :)

 

You should get this imo. Try to get a non-shit 1060 (one with a real cooler). And a 240GB SSD will be plenty for a while, you can add a hard drive later, this way you stay on budget and still get the speed of an SSD first.
