Compatibility Question/ Improvement

LetsFailNoob

Hello Guys, I tried to build a new rig, but got a little bit confused when I saw, how muched changed in the last few years. 

I already got all of the components that I think I want, but first of all, I am not quite sure, whether all of the parts are compatible, nor if I got the most power for my money.

 

Current build looks like this:
- CPU: i5-8400

- GPU: ASUS GeForce STRIX GAMING GTX 1060 (6GB)

- MoBo: MSI Z370 GAMING PLUS

- RAM: Ballistix D4 8GB 2666 (Red ones)

- PSU: be quiet! PURE POWER 10 600W

- SSD: Samsung EVOBasic 850 250GB

- HDD: Seagate 1TB ST1000DM010

- Case: AZZA Inferno 310

 

As I said, I am not quite sure, whether the components are compatible with each other, or if I can either go down with the price, or get more power for my money. ~

PCPartPicker.com is a great tool for determining basic compatibility. I've used the de.pcpartpicker.com (German) version and entered prices from your links.

 

As you will note, the psu is way over capacity. You might consider changing it for a 450W unit. The Corsair CX450 or CX450M would be a good choice.
