Thats pretty good, in fact better than mine but airflow is going to be important for those 8th generation chips or amd chips in general and theres alot more bells and whistles to a case called the Corsair 750d Airflow editon and its specifically made for airflow. Do you have a cpu cooler already? If not you need one.

 

I understand you might not upgrade to an i9 or a AMD chip but since you said your going to upgrade your cpu later down the road its best you get some proper cooling for it as well as a radiator with liquid cooling if you can afford it , also you can get those parts for way cheeper... like check out eBay dude. Gosh.

No need to pay that much for a 1060. That's also a VERY expensive motherboard and you're not going to be overclocking. Just get the better CPU now and you won't spend so much long term trying to upgrade. 

 

If you go for a cheaper GPU and motherboard you can easily go for 16Gb, which unfortunately does make a difference now

I really like this case and airflow should be fine for this chip since i wont be overclocking so maybe the stock heatsink will be ok? When i upgrade chip ill be getting a 280 sillent loop aio for the 8700k or what ever chip comes up

Im keeping the mother board so i dont have to change it later when i change cpu and im trying to find a cheaper gpu in other places

Better SSD and PSU, also more reasonable motherboard, no reason to spend so much on a motherboard, unless you need all the overclocking features, and you don't since you won't overclock.

like i said, changing cpu later so the motherboard is the only thing i went all out on like realistically i could get a cheaper cpu to do me for now
