THERMAL PASTE - Not needed.
MB - Look toward a B150 board that had four memory slots for an upgrade option down the road.
MONITOR - Changed to an IPS panel.
KEYBOARD - Look toward a mechanical unit.

GamerBoy's setup is good except for the PSU; it's form factor is SFX whilst your case is ATX. The Silverstone may come with an adapter bracket but there's no guarantee. There would be nothing worse that having to go out and buy another after seeing it doesn't fit.

Try the Seasonic G Series V2 550W instead, I don't have an exact price on that, at least $120 AUD I believe.

You may have to keep to the 3GB version of the GTX 1060 for budgetary reasons, I recommend the EVGA GTX 1060 3GB SC Gaming, a different version to the current EVGA one you have selected. According to UserBenchmark, the percentages are the best.

HOWEVER; if you can save up to $1400, try aiming for the Asus GTX 1060 6GB ROG STRIX. Try to future-proof parts of your setup.

Don't forget, if your PC isn't next to the router, you'll need a WI-FI card. If so, purchase the TP-LINK TL-WN881ND. It's $20.

Seconded, the SeaSonic PSU has enough safety features to almost remove any risk of damage to your system during power surges or spikes. The price is actually $106 but PCPartPicker does not have any in stock.
