Is this a good build?

[mousyyy]

Hi there! I'm thinking about doing my first pc build and, after looking around for components inside my price range (750 euro) I came up with this build:

INTEL CORE I5-6500 3.2GHZ 6MB SK1151
ASUS H110I-PLUS motherboard
GSKILL RIPJAWS V DDR4-2133MHZ 2X8GB
SSD KINGSTON SSDNOW UV400 240GB
MSI GEFORCE GTX 1060 3GT OC 3GB
CORSAIR MODULAR CX500M (500w)
Thermaltake Core V1 Mini ITX Tower Case

I'm doing a mini-itx build cause I don't have that much space to work with, so I thought it was a good solution. What do you think about this build? Do you think I'll have any trouble with bottlenecks or anything like that?

Thank you for your time!

no bottlenecks really, just a few suggestions:

dont go with the 1060 3 GB, either go with the 6 GB version or the rx 480.
corsair CX are cheap and will likely fail or give you problems in the future. go with something from antec, xfx, seasonic, (most) evga.
and the kingston ssds are low quality. go with something from crucial (bx200, mx300) for best price/performance.

Try to find the newer 450/550W version of Corsair CXM at least... the older 430/500W is rather problematic...

Ok , thank you for your suggestions! I'll look into it!

Update: The thing with the graphics card is that I can't extend my budget too much. The 1060 3GB is 229,00 euro while the 6GB one is 300 euro. I could go with the Gigabyte Radeon RX 480 G1 Gaming 4G (269 euro) , but only if I really don't have a cheaper option... Do you have any better option for my price range (max: 250 euro) ? (i was thinking about the rx470 4gb OC strix).

For the ssd i changed for the crucial mx300, and for the PSU i changed to the XFX XT 500W 80PLUS Bronze

the XT is sadly the only XFX unit that's not recommendable, sorry :/
find a XFX TS / PRO / CORE / Bronze-fully-wired they cost usually the same (within 5€) and are premium quality

450W is all you'll need

yea, if the price difference is that much, go with the 3 GB. you could also try to find a used gtx 900 series card the price has dropped on them considerably since the 10 series was released.

and as stated, thats the ONLY xfx model that isnt recommended.

do you have a website that you are pricing from? link it so we can have a look and make better suggestions for you.

I found a Sapphire rx 480 NITRO+ 4gb for 245 euro on the same website I was using, I don't know why It didn't appear earlier, but I guess I'll go with your suggestion after all! About the PSU I think I'll go with the XFX TS Series 550W 80PLUS BRONZE (TS series as someone suggested).
Thank you all for your help!
