Make and model of your PSU? How old is it? You might want to change the stylizing of this (current)thread after you read through this thread.

$200 for everything else might be a tad optimistic with CPU, MB, and RAM prices...not to mention a case, HDD, and, an operating system.

Given your inclusion of the GTX1060, is this computer going to be tasked with any 3D gaming? RIght now, most of the 'starter' gaming rigs start at the i5-9600K, currently retailing for more than your entire budget at $270 on Newegg, and, add another $130 for 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and $75 for basic mainboard...

If light gaming at 720P is sufficient, an AMD B450 and R5-2400G might be more realistic, budget-wise...
