No. Because the 1060 3GB is exiled and banned from the PCMR, unless on an extreme budget. If you're in the US, $1160 should get you a 1070 at least.

Unless your budget includes monitor, peripherals and OS, or is in a different currency other than USD

Yep. None of which we were given, so we must await details from the OP.

Please, don't get an i5. Get a Ryzen 5 1600 with a B350 board, it's much better. If you want to get an Intel CPU wait for Coffeelake i5s. ;)
