I will be buying a PC in about a month and was wondering if there was anything I could do to make it better, or if its good as is
The PC I am looking at has the following specs:
-Intel i7 6700 3.4ghz
-1x GeForce GTX 1060 6gb
-16 gb DDR4 Ram

I believe it will run games on high around 60-90 FPS, but are there any cheap adjustments I can make to make it perform better? Thanks :)

Well that would be great for sure, but it's better to list your total budget. You may be able to do better or may find out you can't afford those parts.

I'm sorry, I'm new to this website and PC gaming so I'm kinda newb-ish about this.
Uh, right now my build cost me around $1300 USD included with around $200 of that goin into Mice, a keyboard and a desktop..I'm not really wanting to go any higher, I was just wondering if I skipped over any cheaper parts that would run better.

Check out pcpartpicker.com

It's great for picking out parts. It helps with compatibility, and also shows the current bet deals. Great site. I'll see if I can put something together for you.
Is this for gaming only, or will there be other uses?

No they don't built it for you. You'd have to either build it yourself or pay somebody to build it for you.

You definitely get more for your money by building yourself.

I never recommend a pre-built gaming PC. You'll end up overpaying AND getting inferior parts at the same time.
