Hi, im looking to build my own pc, but im a bit hesitant about motherboard, PSU, and case for my pc.

looking to play games like GTA V, DotA 2, etc. So here are the pc spec :
-Intel core i3 6100
-MSI B250M gaming pro
-Corsair vengeance 8gb (4x2gb) ddr4
-WD 1 TB Blue
-Asus ROG Strix GTX 1050 TI 4GB.

nah man, the main difference of both the g4560 and the i3-6100 itself were the clock and overall the rest they were the same. i didnt told you if you have to get only 1 8gb stick, i know using 2 stick of 4gb ram is better bcs it is running in dual channel, what i mean is, if you want to upgrade...

why dont you get g4560 instead? it only slightly have lower performance but more worth it and are you planning for some upgrade on like ram or something? if you do will upgrade ram, i suggest you to get 1 8gb stick and upgrade it later

First Getting a B250M motherboard with 6th gen processor is not right you can either change the I3 to G4560 which is 7th gen and use the B250M or keep the I3 and use a 100 gen motherboards instead (H110,H170,B150), Change your ram to a single stick, all these changes will left you big room for upgrade in the future.
Not sure how big the budget you're having but changing the hardware like I said will save you some money to put on other parts.
also not sure if you have a PSU in mind yet just go for a 450W 80+ semi-modular or full modular to your choice, or you could get a 500W for some power headroom and room for improve ment in the future with out needing to change the PSU.
Here's a couple of links to lists of reliable good PSU

Good luck!

nah its not fully wrong or a mistake, there is some feature that be the main advantage of using b250m with 6th gen processor because b250m have m.2 slot that probably needed by some people. and also if someone want to save some money with using g4560 and 100 series mobo it is not a wrong decision or mistake either, because 100 series motherboard support kaby lake with bios update that can be done by install latest bios off flash drive if it hasnt use latest bios and some 100 series mobo already have latest bios that support kaby lake from the factory
 
OP, your build looks alright on the cheap. Generally the i3 7100 costs the same as the 6100, but performs better, but I don't know what sort of deals you've found. I also don't build any PC without an SSD, and haven't since 2008, because of how much difference one makes in general usage, but it does add to the cost.

I doubt if i choose g4560 there will be bottleneck, so i prefer i3 6100 rather than g4560, why i must get 1 8 gb stick? but i watch youtube about build pc that 8 gb with 4x2 gb is good performence :)

So, i have to change a motherboard with (H110, H170, B150), right? why must choose ram with a single stick if dual channel is good and also have enough budget. and how much watts that i need for these spec, 450w, 500w, or 600w? :3
 
If you get a board with only 2 RAM slots, getting a single stick leaves room for upgrades. If you get one with 4 slots, getting a pair of sticks provides better performance.

I'd rather have a Pentium G4560 and B250 board vs an i3 6100 + H110, if it comes to that.

maybe like 300/350w shoud be enough, but im not sure, try using pcpartpicker.com and put each parts you are going to use, there should be the total wattage you need
