Solid build
I'd change add few things myself if possible:

- Try to get an SSD for OS,
- Try to get a better PSU, for a budget once you may get a Corsair CX450M.
- 1 Stick of 8GB of RAM may be slower alone, but would be upgradeable later on. But if you don't plan on upgrading soon, 2x4GB should be enough.
- I'd switch the GPU for a RX 480 4GB version, you can find it for a lower price than the 1060 3GB and it's performance is basically the same.

Thx for the Reply, i will try to find a smaller HDD to see if i got some spare money for a SSD. I forgot about that one on the go :D. For the GTX 6gb card its almost 63$ more expensive than the 3 gb which blows my budget sadly :(

Thx for the reply and for the help. I really appriciate it dude!.
- I will try to see if i can get a cheaper HDD to find spare money for a SSD
- As for the PSU i have picked the one you mentioned. It´s better than the VS500 and also cheaper in my country (Denmark, im buying my parts from a Danish store)
- You are right on that one, but i think im gonna stick with 2x4gb for now.
- I have found a GPU that is 4 % better (accorting to Game-Debate.com´s compare tool) - RX 480 Sapphire NITRO+ 4 GB (Only 5 dollars more than GTX) would you say that one is a better choise?

IMHO it is, i has a whole GB more of VRAM than the 1060, which can make a great differece in heavier games.
So, if you can squeeze that SSD and the a little more expensive GPU because of the price differecen between the VS and the CXM. Then, i'd say it's a nice choice, yes.

I have one more question dude :D - If i use the RX 480 Sapphire Nitro+ 4Gb instead of GTX 1060 then the Wattage also rise. from 270W (GTX 1060) and 375W (RX 480 Sapphire) to be exact. Would i still be okay with a 450W PSU? when i have 375W in the system?

It should still be fine as long as you don't push it further.
If you wanna be extra careful, you can try to grab a CX550M, Seasonic S12 520W, SuperNOVA G or B2 550W or XFX Pro 550W.

Any of those would give you plenty.
