Everything is compatible.

Can't really think of anything except perhaps upgrading the the 6gb 1060 instead of the 3gb and perhaps getting 16gb of RAM instead of 8gb, but that's only if the budget allows.

Hamperking68 :

What the difference between 3gb and 6gb ?
And 16gb should be 2×8gb or 4×4gb?

CRO5513Y · Mar 28, 2017

I would go 2x8GB for the RAM, allows upgradability later although 32GB won't probably be a gaming/desktop necessity for many years yet only really helpful for Workstations at the moment but better to leave your options open. I wouldn't recommend the 3GB 1060 to be honest. Paying that much for a 3GB card in 2017 was a bad choice for Nvidia, 4GB is the standard on mainstream GPUs now and for good reason. I myself see plenty of games pushing 3-4GB VRAM usage on High/Ultra at 1080p and that is now, it will only increase over time so as Hamperking suggested try grab a 1060 6GB or i would just go a RX 480 4GB if you can't afford the 6GB 1060. It shouldn't be much more than a 3GB 1060. I also agree on his 16GB RAM suggestion. Over than that your build looks good, consider getting a cheaper Z270 board to get a better GPU in my opinion or if you don't plan to OC much a good H270 will save you cash and be fine. Hope this helps

I took Palit gtx 1070 dual instead of the gtx 1060 is this better and is it a good brand ??

CRO5513Y · Mar 28, 2017

Yes a GTX 1070 is very powerful especially for 1080p. Can't speak for Palit as I've never owned one nor seen many down here in Australia. But no matter the brand a 1070 will stomp a RX 480/ GTX 1060 easy and it's good pairing if you're happy to spend more.
