Gonna build a PC within 2-3 weeks.

Components-
Motherboard: MSI B450M tomahawk
SSD:Crucial - MX500 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
HDD:Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5-inch Internal Hard Drive (ST2000DM006)
PSU:Corsair VS550 550-Watt Power Supply
GPU:Zotac Amp Edition GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DDR5 PCI-e Graphics Card with IceStorm Cooling
Processor:Amd RYZEN 5 2600
RAM:Corsair 16GB DDR4 3000MHz RGB CMW16GX4M1D3000C16
CABINET:Corsair Carbide Series™ SPEC-01 Red LED Mid-Tower Gaming Case (Is this Case compatible?)

Ill be using it for gaming/editing/livestreams(maybe) and recording gameplays.

just wanted to hear some feedback on my build and do tell me if there is anything that's wrong with the build and help me improve it.Really new into this "PC building" scenario.

p.s-Should i go for Radeon 580 8 gb instead of the gtx 1060 6gb ?

Would this build run all upcoming titles at high settings for 2-3 years?

what monitor(24 inch 1080p) should i go for?a 75hz monitor or a 144hz monitor?

Thx in advance

PSU is very low quality, that needs to be replaced.

I'd take the RX 580 over the 1060 6gb as the performance is close but the price is usually quite different.

Monitor is your choice, I'd go 1080P/75hz/IPS or VA for less competitive gaming, more single player or MMO's. 1080P/144hz/TN for FPS such as CSGO/Battlefield/COD.

Everything else looks good.


Im kinda thinkin of going with the 1060 6gb.what about the other components that ive mentioned above?are they all compatible?Thx for the reply
