Hi! I was wondering if anyone was willing to look for potential bottlenecks, issues, or small things that are easy to upgrade with the new PC I am building. This is the first PC I am building, and I want it to be the best possible. Cheers! I will link a part-picker link.

I made a few changes that made it better AND cheaper. The biggest difference is you needed a better motherboard.

HI! Thank you so much for your help, but the only issue is that the only part that I already have is the motherboard, so I can't really change that. I know I should have consulted someone before building. Haha. Do you still recommend me to run the PC with the B150 M3 ATX Motherboard? And what changes should I make?

Starting towards the top, the H60 isn't a very good cooler would do better with a $30ish H7 or 212 EVO cooler. The cooler will come with thermal compound. Why a B150 mobo (non-OC) and 6600K OCable CPU? 1,000 watt PSU is overkill by a factor of 2, a good 500-550 is more than sufficient.
