I understand Ryzen is more for for budget builds, so if someone wants to make a part list for that then sure. Also if you need a monitor, I can change it.

Depending on your preferences you can keep the 120gb boot drive or take it out. Should give a rough idea of a latest i5 build. The 3gb 1060 will do ok for 1080p gaming. 

 

You might want to consider an APU build which Im sure someone who knows more will suggest.
