I'm new to Pc and am going to build my first Pc soon and I'm going to get the 1060 which goes right around my budget but I need a CPU to go with it any suggestions??

I would be looking at an i5-7500 or a Ryzen 5 1500X. This will make the GPU a little stronger than the CPU and gives you the best performance bang for the buck. I would tend to lean towards the i5 unless you will be playing a thread heavy game which will take advantage of the extra cores in the 1500X.
