Hello

My strict budget is equal to or lower than €810
I currently have the following build set up: BUILD

CPU: i5 8600k
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB MSI
MB: AsRock H110M
RAM: HyperX 8GB DDR3
HDD: WD BLUE 1TB
PSU: EVGA 500W Bronze

The total price of this build €888 and my questions are how can I make a cheaper €800 and still good build for 1080p 60FPS gaming.


EDIT:

Replaced

CPU now: i5 8600
MB: MSI H310
RAM: 8GB DDR4
 
Solution
No point getting the i5 8600k and that motherboard. You can drop to the standard 8600 and save some money. You also won't have to buy a cooler for the 8600 like you would for the 8600k.

Another problem with your list is the board is a H110 and that is not compatible with an 8th gen CPU. You need to use a 300 series board. H310, B360 for example. You will also need to change the RAM to DDR 4.

It depends on the type of games you play. But for most games the GTX 1060 should get you 1080p 60fps. It will also depend on what graphics level you are trying to get. On some games like Overwatch you should be able to have it on ultra. On something like Far Cry 5 or The Witcher you might have to be on medium/high.
