Hi Community I will, in the not so near future, build my first PC. I do not know what to look out for when building a PC(e.g. what to look for for compatibility or what to look for in physical dimensions).
Here is my info:
Approximate Purchase Date: Within 7-8 months I still am not sure when I'm buying it but at least before December 2017
Budget Range: €1200,- Excluding shipping costs
System Usage from Most to Least Important: (Heavy) Gaming, I want to play current games(PUBG,Overwatch,Horizon Zero Dawn etc.) with at least 60 fps on medium to high/ultra settings(Ultra is probably a long shot), A lot of webbrowsing and schoolwork(i.e. Word, Excel), I'm going to study AI upcoming schoolyear, so programming too(not sure if I need certain specs for programming), Watching movies and Youtube, picture/video editing(Definitely not priority but just going to mention it, upgrading parts will almost certainly happen in the future).
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Location: Groningen, The Netherlands, Help from all around the world will appreciated (My budget in US dollars is approx $950-1100).
Parts Preferences: Both Ryzen and Intel CPUs would be fine, Nvidia GPU
Overclocking: Maybe in the future
SLI or Crossfire: I have no clue what this means
Your Monitor Resolution: Would like to get 1920x1800, It is possible that I want to upgrade to greater resolutionspossibility to upgrade to 4k in the future
Additional Comments: Need a window case and pc needs to be quiet(I hate noise), would like a Boot-up SSD and 1-2 TB HDD if it is possible within the budget, if not an HDD (min. 1TB) will be fine, I want to emphasize the priority Gaming Performance has to me.
My build attempt:
I already attempted to create my own build without any help but I have no idea if the builds is any good, and if there are any compatibility/clearance issues.

Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING Video Card
Case: be quiet! - Pure Base 600 w/Window (Black/Orange) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair - CSM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (Not sure what Wattage I should get)

I am not sure If the parts I picked are good value for the money and if there are any clearance or compatibility issues.
If I need to give additional information or missed something I'll gladly let you know, just let me know.
All help will be appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
