Hi,
I'm new to building computers and I'm wondering whether or not these components will work together. I didn't want to buy anything until I'm sure that they work together.
Here are the build's components:

-ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 Mini 3GB GDDR5 Super Compact Graphics Card (ZT-P10610A-10L)
-Intel BX80662I36100 Core i3-6100 3M Cache, 3.70 GHz Processor
-MSI Gaming Intel Skylake B150 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 Micro ATX Motherboard (B150M Mortar)
-Seasonic S12II 620 BRONZE, SS-620GB Power Supply
-Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST1000DM003)
-Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DIMM 288-Pin - BLS2K4G4D240FSE (Red)
-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)
-Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid Tower Case

Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!
 
Solution
You don't need the 212 EVO CPU cooler. This is more of a necessity when building an overclocked rig. The Intel stock cooler will be fine for an i3 CPU. Also, seriously consider using a SSD, especially for your OS, programs and key files. A 256GB SSD runs about 75 USD. Leaving out the 212 EVO cooler and the 1TB HDD, will leave your build at about the same total price. The overall performance of your rig will be so much better with the SSD.
