Are these good components?

Hey, recently i posted an post with my pc parts, and the output was that i gotta buy new motherboard, cpu & ram, so i did some research and this is what i want to buy:

i5-7600
Asus - PRIME B250M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

What i currently already have and needs to work with:
Gigabyte 1060, 3GB
119GB TS128GSS D370 SATA Disk Device (SSD)
931GB Western Digital WDC WD10 EZEX-00BN5A0 SATA Disk Device
PHL 223V5 (1920x1080@60Hz)

Will this combination work, if not what else do i buy? Thanks!

You're saving pennies, maybe making a mistake. Try for a z270 motherboard instead of the B250M. Go for an i5-7600k rather than the straight 7600. The price difference on the motherboard and CPU is minor compared to the advantages. Make sure the RAM is dual channel. The better, higher-grade stuff will serve you better in the future and have a longer effective life. Everything will work with your old HDD, SSD and GPU.

Try to get 2x4GB for dual channel memory rather than 1x8GB
Have you consider these 2 options:
1. If price is comparable, try to get i5 8400(6 cores) which will require Z370 mobo if you want Intel.
2. Other option is Ryzen 1600 (6c/12t) along with AM4 mobo.

Your combo will work.
It has decent balance of cpu and gpu.

But, consider your needs for ram, now and in the future.
Do not plan on adding a second 8gb stick to get 16gb. It is not 100% guaranteed to work.
Ram must be in patched kits.
I put your odds of success at about 85% by adding a similar stick.
What is your plan "B" if it does not??
if 8gb is sufficient, buy a 2 x 4gb kit so you can operate in a faster two channel mode.

If you might want 16gb in the future, consider buying your 2 x 8gb kit up front.
Otherwise, when you need 16gb in the future, buy a 2 x 8gb kit similar to what you have.
You will get 16gb for certain, and you might get lucky and be able to add your 2 x 4gb kti for 24gb.

mazboy has some good points.
A i5-7600 runs at a clock of 3.5; a i5-7600K can usually be overclocked to the 4.9 area.

So, what 2x4GB stick do you guys recommend on the motherboard B250M?

Intel is not picky about ram.
Most any will do, and speed is not very important.
To be certain of compatibility, go to a ram vendor site and enter your motherboard.
You will get a list of compatible kits.

Sorry for bothering but what is a good site for that or what ram 2x4 you recommend?

Here is the link to corsair.

They are all good.
There are others also.

Personally I wouldn't buy a 4 core i5, its effectively equivalent to the latest i3's. Get the 8400 or 8600k.

Okay, what motherboard & ram would you take?
