Wanna build PC with MSI GTX 1060 3GB + RYZEN 1300X

[nightmaresundries]

Hi
I'd like to build a PC with this specs
The specs is based on best rank userbenchmark and lowest possible price
Ryzen 3 1300x
MSI GTX 1060 3GB Armor OC V1
RAM g.skill 2x4gb / hyperfury 2x4gb 2400mhz ddr4
samsung ssd 960 250gb
Is it compatible?
I'd like to ask whether there's any better build with same price
Like gtx 1060 3gb / gtx 1050 4gb?
Or Ryzen 3 1300x / i3 8100 ? (but higher Mobo price)
Budget will be <1000USD

And perhaps I'll install cheap liquid cooling too since I'll put the PC in non-AC room.

Take a look at this PC: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W8tx6s
The i3 8100 will be a small performance gain compared to the 1300x, but both CPU's have great upgradeability.
A single SSD is not good in a budget system, opt for an HDD instead.
The SSD's compatibility will depend on the mobo, which you have not mentioned.
A gtx1060 3gb is substantially better than a 1050Ti 4gb!

I'd strongly recommend the 6GB version of the 1060 over the 3GB version, if the budget allows.

Also, I strongly agree with PuperHacker regarding the hard drive. You'll only notice it with booting and with load-up times, but you'll spend less money and get more storage with a HDD. I like SSDs a lot, but 250gb as your total storage (OS plus all software and all personal files) is not a good idea.

I've been seeing lots of used 1060 6GB's show up on craigslist lately around $260 - $300 range. Big improvement compared to how it was a few months ago.

You are spending too much in the wrong places.

PSU is grabage. Speed of RAM is overkill, 3000Mhz would do.

If monitor is included in the budget then say so. If you can go up to $950, you really can do better.
