I'm trying to build my first pc, and I was using pc part picker but I can't seem to get my pc build under 1100 for the things I want in the pc. I open to suggestion and build idea on what to sacrifice for this build. Also I don't mind going over 900 just not over 1000.

Nice build :)
I would only swap your GPU and maybe CPU.
GPU: GTX 1060
CPU: i5 7600

The GPU that you picked is kind of old already...you can get a better one for less money that is also more power efficient.

Can you please post which parts did you pick so we can tell you what is allright and what not? Please also tell us what are you going to use your PC for? (which games are you going to play)?

The 3gb version is pretty under powered compared to the 6gb. In that category the rx480 4gb is cheaper and better.
But it will be more beneficial in the long run to go with this setup and add a ssd 3-4 mnths down the line, or whenever its possible.
