I already have the PSU, SSD and Network Adapter, i'm using them from my old PC which I gave to my little brother, they worked wonderfully for me, had no issues with them so I will stick with them. Also, the build is way over my budget as where I live everything is overpriced, i5-7500 is around $45 more than the i5-7400. I also only want a clean minimalistic case. Also, isn't 620w overkill? Same for the motherboard? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just simple high fps 1080p gaming

hmmm, i would suggest u go with the gpu(much better model and almost 25 bucks less, go save up n go for 7500)/ram/mobo(perfect for the choice with more ports)/case(better cooling solution with 5 fans) of my choosing
the 7400 will also pair up well with the 1060/480.
the psu is of good quality. the cheapest was a seasonic 430w for 41 bucks, this is 49 bucks. so choose this.

Prices don't work the same here, that 49 bucks psu is non existent here, the cheapest seasonic is M12II-620 EVO and is priced at 58usd on pcpartpicker but is 85usd here. The amount i'm spending on this build of mine is almost 900usd.

Also, 480 is pretty neck and neck in benchmarks of games I play and is only $11 cheaper, so I went with the 1060.

consult this and buy any tier 1 or 2 psu u can buy. tier 3 will also do but only if u r really short on money.
the rx480 has better dx12 and vulkan performance. and also 2 gig extra(not really a matter)
