So I'm thinking about building a PC:

AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor

ASRock - AB350M Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard

Patriot - Viper 4 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

Silicon Power - Slim S55 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Zotac - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB Mini Video Card

Corsair - 350D Window MicroATX Mid Tower Case

 

Now the PSU part, the calcualtor shows that I need minimum 334W.

 

I can get this PSU:

Corsair - CXM (2015) 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

 

Will it be enough if I will overclock memory, CPU and graphic card, or should I get more power on PSU.

The CX450M is enough, but that motherboard has terrible VRMs for overclocking a hexacore, as is the case for pretty much all AM4 mATX boards. The best is probably the Asus TUF so if you can't afford that, then go easy on the overclocking.

 

A 1060 and 1600 with tons of OC still won't consume more than maybe 300W so you're fine with a CX450M.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

And now I say something about the Memory:
Make sure that you buy Samsung B-Die Memory for your system.

That one or if priced similarl, be quiet Pure Power 10, 400 or 500W.

I would recommend B-die but holy Christ it's so expensive. Probably not worth the extra money for OP. He can simply lower the clock to 2400 or 2666 and it'll likely be perfectly stable.

$211 isn't too unreasonable. There are several Hynix kits above that. That's how messed up the RAM situation is :(

Cheapest 16GB kit at a decent speed that's in stock is like $170.

Most of the Hynix kits that cost that much are decent though, unlike my lame-o Hynix M-die G.Skill RJV 3200 MHz that can't hit 3200 on my board.

 

I'm sure that running cheaper Hynix/other RAM will be fine. Judging by OP's specsheet a set of B-die is out of the question financially.

Pretty much any 2666-rated RAM is good for 2666 on Ryzen, in my experience. It's when you start pushing past that that Hynix and other Samsung NAND become problematic. Easy solution: buy something rated for higher than 3200MHz. Guaranteed B-Die.

 

Didn't say it was cheap, just that it was easy :(

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

be quiet Pure Power 10 500W  80+ silver seems good but it has 2 12v rails with max 20/28 amps, that will be enough to power geforce gtx 1060 with dual fans? They say the card will use 120 watts but what about it jumping higher for few seconds, I think its quite possible with boost or heavy load.

Yes, it will.

What's wrong with having more than one +12V rail?

And 20A = 240W, 28A = 336W.
Where do you see any problem?
