Hello people of the internet! i am soon gonna build a gaming rig, here are the prats: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JFM6m8
i am wondering if there are any changes that i can make. Also should i get the 3gb version of the graphics card or keep it like that(i wan't to play battlefield 1 on max and possibly the next 2 battlefield games, and i wan't to run ark at max.) what do you think?

The difference between the 6GB version of the 1060 and the 3GB version is more than just VRAM. The shaders are also cut, which provides around 10% less performance.

I would recommend buying a cheap 120GB SSD for your boot drive, as that will provide a significant boost in general tasks for a relatively low cost. One way you could do this is drop the 1060, and go with an 8GB RX480 which is around $50 cheaper than your selected 1060. Frostbite engine games have been pushing DX12 with Async compute support, which the RX 480 will have an advantage with.

Your PSU is slightly overkill, however it is much better to buy a quality PSU instead of cheaping out and having it explode during gaming.
