My first gaming pc

I'm building my first gaming pc in about a week. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nfV8cc For some strange reason I couldn't find some parts on pcpartpicker. Btw I'm from Slovakia.

Mobo- MSI A320M PRO-VD/S https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/A320M-PRO-VD-S.html#productFeature-section

PSU- Seasonic S12II-520 https://seasonic.com/product/s12ii-520/

I would like to play games like gta 5, rocket league, Battlefield 1 singleplayer, maybe the new COD in 1080p 60 fps on very high or ultra settings if possible. I don't want to overclock the cpu, only the gpu. I also know that the ryzen 5 1600 would be better but I really don't have that much money. My budget is 720 euros and this build will cost me 712 euros. What do you think of it? Would you change anything? Is the gpu good enough?

You want to overclock the GPU, but not the CPU? Why?

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

OP would have to pay for more expensive motherboard to do so, may want to save. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

Surely a B350 motherboard won't cost that much more.

I don't have more money for a motherboard that I could overclock the cpu on and it would also need more power. And I've also never overclocked anything before.

The cheapest B350 motherboard costs 25 euros more and I don't have money for that.

 A Seasonic S12II 520 can power an overclocked R5 1400 and a GTX 1060 6GB just fine. And overclocking the CPU isn't that difficult as it seems (similar to building a PC).

I honestly think you should save up the 20 euros extra. The games you've mentioned are rather CPU-intensive.

I just noticed the MSI GeForce GTX 1060 ARMOR 6G V1 for 8 euros more. Should I rather go for that gpu since it has 2 fans? https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1060-ARMOR-6G-V1.html#hero-overview But the boost clock is bigger on the gigabyte gpu so I don't know.

The armor is not too good in GTX 1080 and above, not sure in 1060

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

The gigabyte one is itx sized? Not a reference style cooling?

 

i guess the msi armor can not be that bad, because it is bad at 1080/ even 1070
