I'm working on building a budget gaming pc and I'm not sure if the H110 chipset is going to bottle neck since it only has 6 2.0 pci-e lanes. Here is a link to my build.http://pcpartpicker.com/list/KG2HGf

Edit-I already have a 1TB HDD on hand to use in this system

Fixed your build for you...

1. I switched out the Asus H110 for the Gigabte H110M-A since its a bit cheaper and there
are no major differences . Both the Asus and Gigabyte board would not bottleneck.
2. Switched the Ram and SSD out for ones that were cheaper and are the same quality.
3. I would not recommend purchasing a GTX 3GB 1060 as the amount of Vram is very limiting.
Instead I'd go for the RX 480 8GB with much more Vram, supports Vulcan, Cfire in the future and is faster.
4. As for the case. I know it's your personal opinion on what you like but when your on a budget like this
you should aim more towards " How much performance/ dollar can i fit in here?" But hey it still has the side window!

@Mac070, poor PSU quality and the GTX 480 recommends a 500W unit. The quality units by EVGA are the G2,GS,B2,PS,P2 & T2 models.

Also hopefully the OP has a storage drive as the 120gb SSD won't last long with the OS & games. If not better off grabbing a 1TB WD drive for now and then when the OP has enough money then getting a Samsung SSD and using the Samsung Magician Software to clone the OS to the SSD.

Power supply isn't the best but the OP doesn't have a budget for a G2 or P2. Therefore this PSU is he best option. But yes I'd upgrade it when you can.
Anyways the system will only draw 272 Watts Max.

Once again he can not fit that power supply in his budget. As much as I would like to recommend it to him,
I cant. The EVGA 430W will be sufficient. I have had no issues with the EVGA B series. Iv'e ran a R9 290 on a EVGA 500B before flawless.

The only other choice is the CX series.
