I am going to build a pc in april 2018 but i finalized the parts
cpu - ryzen 3 1300x
motherboard - b350m
graphics card - gtx 1060 3 gb mini
ram - 8 gb 2133 mhz ddr4

I wanted to ask that as i said i will make my pc in april 2018 so is the gpu worth buying
And note i am from india so some prices are little higher than us prices

Assuming nvidia doesn't launch a new series of GPUs (ie Volta) by then...the gtx 1060 is a good GPU. I am not a fan of the 3GB version as the frame buffer can be an issue in some games at 1080P so on that front I would say get the 6GB if you can afford it. Beyond my 3GB frame buffer compliant though the GTX 1060 is a solid choice for a gpu.

I'm not sure I understand, why are you buying the card now if the computer won't be built until next April? Why not just buy everything in April? Also, unless there's some specific reason you need the 1300X, I'd consider getting the 1200 and saving the money. For 1080p gaming they are pretty close in performance.
