I am trying to build a gaming PC but I am struggling to find the correct parts. I have a very strict budget of $700 USD ( I'm 13 and getting that money isn't easy) My first part list consisted of the following parts. I know this isn't that good of list and I could do way better but my budget is tight and my knowledge of computers is very low. I don't even know if all my parts are compatible but I did use PC part picker even though that's not to correct lol.

Intel - Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor

MSI - B150M Pro-VD Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Team - Dark 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING Video Card

Deepcool - KENDOMEN Black ATX Mid Tower Case

EVGA - 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

LG - WH14NS40 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer

The Pentium G4560, a 2-core CPU with hyperthreading (4-threaded) is a good budget entry-level CPU for this Intel platform (the G4560 is comparable to the i3-6100, also a 2-core/4-thread CPU, in gaming performance: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-G4560-vs-Intel-Core-i3-6100/3892vs3511). Upgrade to an i5-7500 (~$180) if your budget permits in the future.
