Hi guys. I'm building my first gaming PC and I've already chosen the parts (didn't order yet), but I'm not sure if everything is compatible, and also, if every part fits in the case. Here's the parts:
CPU: I5 8600
RAM: ADATA XPG Z1 Red 2x8 GB DDR4 2666MHz
GPU: KFA Geforce GTX 1060 6gb OC
MOBO: Gigabyte B360M-D2V
PSU: nJoy Titan 500, 500W
CASE: Sharkoon VG4-W RED

I'll also add a SATA3 SSD and a HDD.

Yeah, they are compatible, but I would recommend a few changes. Be careful selecting your PSU. There are a lot of cheap PSUs on the market and they can damage your components. I would suggest getting a quality PSU from Corsair, EVGA, or Seasonic. I have never heard of nJoy Titan and that is not a good sign.

Additionally, I think a i5 8400 will suit your needs just fine. You are really only paying for a modest bump in clock speed and you may have issues holding the higher turbo of the 8600 with a B360 board. That chipset is only designed for 65 watt TDP, which the 8600 is a 65 watt TDP. But when the 8600 boost, which it will 99% of the time, it increases the TDP. The boards that can handle the extra TDP will down clock the CPU...


That psu is avoid at all costs. It's low tier garbage an will not be able to power that system.
Get a qualtiy 500w psu.
