I'm building a new gaming PC, as mine is getting quite dated. My main concerns are whether the components will all work together (I know how to match up the cpu socket type but that's about it), and if the power supply is adequate. Here are the components:

GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 Socket AM3+/ AMD 760G Motherboard $64.99

Team Elite Plus 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) RAM $52.99

AMD - FX-8350 4.0GHz Processor $175.99

WD - Mainstream 1TB Internal Serial ATA HD $44.99

Insignia™ - 520W ATX Power Supply $49.99

LG - Super-Multi 24x Internal DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive $29.99

Corsair - Carbide Series® SPEC-02 Red LED Mini-ITX/MicroATX/ATX Mid-Tower Gaming Case $59.99

EVGA - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6144MB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card $299.99

I would greatly appreciate any feedback. I don't do this sort of thing that often, so that's why I'm asking here. Thanks in advance!

Am3+ is dead and idk about that power supply.
This will be a much better build at the same price point
