Other than the PSU, that build looks good. I'd recommend getting something higher quality like this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TgW9TW/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii520bronze

Check out this tier list. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html It shows your selection at tier four, meaning it's probably better to go for something else.

the strange skylake cpu and the corsair vs series power supply tell me that this is a prebuilt cyberpower or other computer. that power supply isn't the greatest but its more than enough for a lower wattage build like this and will do fine.

i can go on and on about how building your own computer is going to be better but i digress.

the i5 skylake and gtx1060 is plenty of power for modern gaming at 1080p(some even at 1440p) and for the most part you can run relatively maxed out settings in even the latest most demanding games.
