I want to know if there is anything that I should change/improve. Budget is below $650. I also need to know if there is anything that I am missing in my build. I am going to get a 1TB hardrive 1-2 months later so no need to tell me I need more space. I'm going to be gaming with this build most of the week just to let you know how I use the pc.

What's the intended use of this system?

Assuming gaming, skip the 3GB 1060. Either pick up the 6GB variant, or drop to a 1050TI.


From a gaming perspective, Ryzen3 may well be a solid option - if you're prepared to Overclock.
The 6GB 1060 pushes you over budget:

With a 1050TI bringing you in $100+ under budget.

If you want to stick with Intel, I'd suggest a G4560 over an i3
