You don't really want to pay extra for a wireless mobo. Much better off with an add-on pci-e nic. Mobo tends not to be that good unless you get something akin to an intel pro or killer and don't respond well to the constant updates and changes made by isps like Comcast.
You also won't really get any benefit from the x370 mobo's as the primary difference between a good B350 and an X370 is sli/crossfire capabilities. Which the 1060 doesn't have. So you pay extra for something you can't use.
The 1060-6 you chose is the reference design which is not only the lowest performance, but you pay extra because it's nvidia. You'd be better off with a partner card from Asus, Gigabyte or msi. Nor only cheaper, but better cooling, quieter, higher...

Get a better psu, that ones not good, the W1 series is about as bad as Evga gets.

Get an SSD. You've got all kinds of bling with fancy mice, mechanical kb etc and no SSD. That's sacrificing a considerable amount of performance for looks.

Right now, best bet would be a CoffeeLake i5 on z370 mobo, not last gen. It's a move from 4cores/4threads to 6c/6t,which is a considerable improvement.

You can use that gpu/monitor combo, if you stick with minecraft or roblox, otherwise the fps will tank hard. In any AAA game @4k, you are looking at a gtx1080ti to get @ 60fps.

My total budget is about $1,300 to $1,500 at most.
I guess I should tell you want I want. I want 1080p graphics at considerable frames,I play FPS games most of the time, I am also starting a YT channel and I would prefer to keep it at lowest price as possible. As for the SSD how many GB do I really need and how much would it cost? I am clueless about processors and I will change my PSU.
Thanks and sorry for not Responding.

I guess I would like 4K but I'm O.K with 1080p and I actually have changed many things about my RIG since the post. I'm going for a cheaper mouse and keyboard and a different monitor. I'm not sure about changing my GC though.
Thanks for responding!

Is this your rig? Regardless this seems amazing I so far only looked at the keyboard/mouse combo and is there a way to just get the keyboard? Thanks!

Right now it's Thanksgiving. You'll have some serious sales on certain items, like the case is normally $50, the monitor $250, the FTW gpu is usually one of the most expensive, easily another $100 higher.

If you use pcpartpicker.com you can tailor your choices for what you want/need and you'll get a list of prices for such. You may or may not be able to take advantage of that. But it will include links that'll give info.
As far as the kb goes, I just chose multi colored lighting with optical mouse, you could change that for your own choices and get separates. So not sure if that exact kb has a no mouse option, but there's plenty of other choices.

Well you see the only time I can buy parts for my rig is in February so I sadly can't make the most out of this thanksgiving and for the GPU I literally just want 1080p graphics. Sorry that I'm being picky but I don't see the difference between 1080p and 4K

No worries, a 1060-6 usually runs @$250ish, a 1070 runs $400+. The 1060-6 does just fine with 1080p @60Hz, but might struggle a little at 1080p @144Hz, which is what's good for fast fps type games like gta5 etc. The 1070 was made for 1080p @144Hz.

Stick with the R5 1600, it's considerably better than the 1400.
Ryzen loves fast ram unlike Intel, and a move from 2133/2400 to 3200 can net @20% performance gains. You'll also want to stick with what's been tested and approved, Ryzens can also be very picky about ram configurations and literally refuse to work with some sticks.

O.K so I will get a different card but I need a wireless Mobo because I'm putting my PC upstairs and my Router is downstairs. Should I just get a WiFi card then?
