Looks good, only thing is OH GOD THAT PSU IS A FIRE HAZARD.

 

Seriously, that psu is horrible. Get a decent one like a Seasonic S12ii, m12ii, or corsair CXM grey sticker instead.

Good luck finding a 1060 in stock.

I thought the 1060's were the ones people weren't looking for. I know you can literally find 1070's for more expensive than 1080's right now, but I remember 1060's still being pretty well priced, because of the RX 4/580's and such for cryptocurrency.

This used to be a signature with a bunch of specs, but they're outaded.

Nope people are interested in them as well.

 

Originally that was the case but once all the rx cards were outta stock people moved to the 1060s.

Ah, I've done some mining on my 1060, but I just don't think it's worth it. Partly because my room gets SO HOT.

I bought my 1060 for 210$, not being in stock isn't the issue. The Supply being so low compared to the demand is the problem. The prices are ridiculous. Look at 1070's.

This used to be a signature with a bunch of specs, but they're outaded.

Ok... yes I did say in stock...

 

I THINK YOU GET THE IDEA :P 

 

I don't count 25-50% above MSRP as reasonable :P
