Is this good for my firts build?

Hey guys. I'm wondering if you could give me you opinion on this build. It's my first build and I'd like to start buying it soon, but still Want to hear opinions to be exactly sure of what to buy.

I'm aiming for a simple 1 monitor full hd mostly for work and some gaming. only peripheral ill buy is the moonitor as i have everything else already. Europe based build btw.

The only thing that I see is MAYBE swapping the 1060 for a 1070 from EVGA for about $60 more. Otherwise, pretty solid overall.

As Lurick mentioned that's an expensive 1060; you should probably just get a cheaper 1060 or upgrade to a 1070. I would also consider this monitor instead as it's only $30 more but higher res and has g sync. Only thing is it's a bit smaller.

Since it is a freesync monitor, have you considered an rx 580? Or would that not play well with the stuff you're doing

to be honest i still haven't studied how much the graphics card will affect my workflow, but i work with video /image editing, vfx, 3d models and programming. plus graphic design. also haven't really paid attention to amd gpu's since everyone talks so much about nvidia, but i can't say that i wouldn't miss those sweet nvideo programs and boosts... still ill look into it. gpu's and ram are the final touch since i'm hoping that the prices drop a bit after the beggining of fall.

Yeah usually for that type of thing Nvidia comes out ahead thanks to CUDA. I think that usually AMD comes out behind for equivalently priced cards, though in some scenarios they do end up doing better thanks to just having more shaders.
