Is this good enough?

So I’m building a PC soon and this is what I came out with. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/y3kQgw 

Is it enough for gaming at this price? Should I get 16GBs of RAM because I might think about streaming? Is the 240GB SSD enough for some games like fortnite? In my opinion I think this is the best PC I can get for the price. Any thoughts?

Not bad but:

  • That monitor is absolutely awful.
  • You should really get faster RAM with Ryzen.
  • Don't buy until Black Friday. Build then.

The monitor's horrible. I mean, 1080p 60Hz IPS ones are just $90.

 

The case... not one I would have picked. Seems quite cramped in regards to cable management.

 

RX 580s are cheaper than 1060 6gb without losing performance.

I assumed the monitor was a legacy piece as it was free on the PCPP list, but they do have a point.  1080p or better.
