I'm not good with that and appreciate your time, so let's be quick, i'm going to take all this:

- AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Pinnacle Ridge
- Asus GTX 1060 3gb
- ASUS PRIME B450-PLUS

Forge all with my GIANT Corsair CMPSU-1000HX 1000W, few 1066MHz ddr3 hyper genesis memory things, put GIANT noctua fan on the roof, run witcher 3 1920x1080 60fps and this is the plan.

What is bothering me, that i never touched AMD and i heard a lot about issues with compatibility, i'm asking about this. And will i be able to upgrade this with new rtx 2060 for example?

Build only for games.

mod:- had to change your title.
 
You can't pair DDR3 RAM with the ASUS PRIME B450-PLUS. This motherboard only supports DDR4 memory.

On ryzen it is recommended to buy higher frequency memory, so you're getting the best out of that 2700x.
DDR4-3200 would be the sweet spot.

Well, if your budget is tight 8 gb will suffice for now... nowadays 16 gb slowly but surely becomes the standard, some games are starting to se more than 8 gb. For only 40$ more I would go for the 16 GB kit.

What exact power supply do you have, and how old is it?

FYI you're not going to be getting 120 FPS at 1080p with a 1060 without turning down settings. I'd also strongly recommend a 1060 6GB (or RX 580) over a 1060 3GB.

Edit: is this build primarily going to be used for gaming? If so I think you're probably overspending on the CPU and the expense of other components. You'd likely be better off with a 2600(x) and a better GPU and/or 16 GB of RAM.

Corsair CMPSU-1000HX 1000W. Not sure, about 3-4 years i guess. And yes, only for gaming.

P.s 120fps is a joke, sorry, i mean 60fps for the next few years. If it is possible.

I was watching a lot of youtube "tests" but they all have different results. Very different.
