GPU: ASUS 1060 6 GB Rog Strix

RAM: 8 GB Single Channel
MotherBoard: ASUS PRIME B250M-K
PSU: Corsair 650W Semi Modular
Storage: 120GB SDD and 1TB HDD
 
Solution
Reasonable, up to a point.
You are budgeting about 2x the cpu cost for the graphics card; that is a good balance.

If buying new, I would opt for latest 8th gen intel.

Do not buy a single 8gb stick.
Buy a 2 x 4gb kit to run in faster dual channel mode.
Do not assume that you can add another 8gb later.
It will not be supported and may not work.
ram must be from the same matched kit.


And 120gb is a bit small for a C drive.
Go with 250gb and defer on the hard drive until you actually need the space.
