I am going to build a new pc and here are the components i would be using:
GPU:Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 3GB AMP Edition.
CPU:Intel i5-7600
Mobo:ASUS PRIME B250M-A
Ram: G.skill RipJaws V 8gb (single stick)
HDD:SEAGATE 3.5", 1 TB,
Case: Thermaltake Versa N21 ATX Mid Tower
PSU:CORSAIR VS SERIES VS550
Monitor:ASUS VG248QE
Will i be requiring any additional things for this build or will i be having problem with any of these components due to another one?

That board is designed to have RAM installed in pairs. See the different colors of the RAM slots? 2 different colors? Dual channel? A single stick won't make such a huge impact but it puts your system at a disadvantage. Let's assume you buy these parts and run some benchmarks. Ummmm Firestrike score is low. Let's ask Tom's community why. The answer would be your single channel RAM setup.

How will you install Windows?

There aren't any compatibility issues.

Worse imo. Link to the site you'll be ordering from?

I'd stick with your original choice. While it doesn't get high marks from review sites it does get high marks from retail outlets such as Amazon. The same applies to my EVGA 500W 80+. Lower mark from johnnyguru but high marks in the retail shops.

Kinda meh as well.

From looking at a couple shops in Pakistan, the availability is pretty disappointing. Corsair CS PSUs aren't great, but they're a step up from these. The good PSUs seem to be unfortunately extremely expensive.

You shouldn't. That PSU has PCI-Express Connector 2 x 6+2-Pin. That PSU will power even a 1080.No matter which 1060 someone buys it won't have 2 x 2+6 PCI supplemental power connectors. It simply doesn't need that much power.

Your card asks for

Power Input 6-pin

You're well prepared.

Just make sure you correctly identify your cables. It will be marked PCI-e. Another will be marked EPS or CPU(most likely).
