Hello,
I'm going to build a small gaming PC. Components:
Core i5-4440S *I have this already from my previous PC
MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G
2x8GB 1600 Mhz RAM
1TB 7200rpm HDD+240GB SSD
MSI H81I
Corsair SF 450W 80+ Gold
Silverstone ML08B HTPC Case

Is this going to work? Can the CPU perform well with the 1060 or I should wait for the 1050? Are there any better components for nearly the same money? I prefer MSI.
Sorry for my bad English.

All looks good to me. Getting the 1060 vs the 1050 depends on if you want the better performance of the 1060, or if you want to settle for the 1050. If the comparisons of the existing 10xx cards to the 9xx cards have anything to say about it, the performance of the 1050 would be just shy of a 970's performance.

For your build, I would say the 1060 is a better fit than the 1050. The 1060 should be able to max any game in 1080p, and get decent frame rates, and it won't bottleneck your processor. Nobody can say this with certainty considering it's not out yet, but I would be willing to bet that the 1050 will not be able to provide good frame rates at max settings 1080p in some if not all current games.
