So I am building a new computer for my birthday. My budget is about 1000 to 1200$.
I need a PC which is able to run everyday games, like GTA V, on regular settings and maybe minecraft high settings. Maybe a GTX 1060 and a Intel i7-6600k? I am unsure about it. It would be helpful if anyone had an idea. Water cooling is preferable. Maybe an NZXT S340 or something like that for a case? Please post ideas below! Thanks!

A small idea: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/3BbXsY

That mATX board is going to look small in that case and should of got a 2X4 kit of faster memory .

I would use all high quality parts. 16GB of memory for sure so you don't need to add more later.
For what you have listed this would work well, water cooling is a big no to me their a chance it can leak and if your pump goes out your PC is 100% down. Smallish build.

The Motherboard has built in RGB LED's and if you wish for more you can add these and control them with the motherboard.
https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Mystic-BIOSTAR-LS02/dp/B01MV46VAF/ref=pd_sbs_147_6?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01MV46VAF&pd_rd_r=4NNNGYEMRZKSV4CKTY5Z&pd_rd_w=rKESF&pd_rd_wg=pSkId&psc=1&refRID=4NNNGYEMRZKSV4CKTY5Z

The above build has more in the performance parts but get 16GB of memory a larger SSD, and the uATX board in a mid tower case just looks very tinny to me and out of whack.
