I have these parts in mind:
Processor : Intel Core I5 7th Gen 7500 3.40 GHz
Graphics : MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 (GTX 1060 3GT OC)
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2
Memory : Corsair Vengeance LPX(1x8GB)DDR4 2400MHz
Storage : Western Digital Blue 1TB SATA HDD (WD10EZEX)
Overclocking : Likely
SLI/Crossfire: Not Likely

My questions are:

a) Am I missing important parts?
a1)Does the i5 processor come with a fan?
b) Do any of these parts conflict with each other?
c) How many watts of PSU do I need? How important are PSU brands?
d) How can I make this build cheaper w/o compromising specs?
 
Solution
In chronological order...

a> Lots of parts are missing.
b> The i5 processor do come with a fan.
c> H110 board will need bios update to work with 7th gen kabylake.
d> You wont be needing more than 450w.

This is what you should be getting...
