So as you might have guessed from the title I'm upgrading my system.I'm on a really tight budget and going for the following components-
i3 7100
Zotac gtx 1060 3 gb amp edition
gigabyte ga h110m ds2
Corsair vengeance 8 gb ddr4
Old iball 450 watt psu(which can handle a Pentium R g620 with 65 w tdp and a gtx 960 2 gb)
Old 500 gb wd blue
So is it good?I mean are all the parts are compatible?
How's that mobo?
i have a little money left I can either have a gtx 1060 6 gb or a corsair 550?
Or I should just leave it like that until the psu causes some problem?
I'll be gaming at 1366*768.(I'm not gonna upgrade my monitor so don't bother asking me to upgrade it,lol)
Thank you.

I'd recommend an i5-7500. It would be compatible with your motherboard and RAM, and would give a noticeable improvement to FPS stability and minimums. 450W SHOULD be alright for this build, but if you're worried about it being unreliable or possibly dangerous I'd upgrade to a good 550W from Corsair/EVGA/SeaSonic.

h110 motherboards do not support the 7000 series without a bios update most of the boards in the store don't have this update yet so chances are you can't use that board. Get a g4560 + a b250m board to have a good system that is compatible. I do recommend you get a new psu because of brands become a lot worse the older they get. A seasonic 12II 520w is a good psu.

Can you get the rx480? The 1060 3gb is about 15% slower than the 6gb version. The rx 480/580 are as fast as the 1060 6gb. 3gb of vram is enough for 768p gaming.
