This 1060 6gb is too expensive. There are RX580 4GB at 260 and 8GB at 270

 

Dont get this PSU. Ancient design doesnt do well in today's load.

 

Mobo isnt good. Any other brand is better (except MSI's Gaming Pro Carbon and Krait)

"Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas

 

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

The motherboard is crap. The Asrock K4 is available for $72 after rebate.

Get a cheaper 1x 8GB stick of RAM at 2800-3200 MHz. Several options at ~$90.

Don't get that overpriced SSD. The SL308 costs a bit less, and is good.

Get a cheaper HDD. The P300 costs a bit less.

Get a cheaper 1060 6GB or an RX 580 4/8GB.

Change the PSU to one that isn't crap. The TX550M is available for $53 after rebate.
