My 1st time to build a pc after awhile of using laptops. There are alot of variables and options and the more i dig the more lost i become. Briefly I'd say after some research and considering my budget. I alrdy bought gtx 1060 6gb for my gpu. And now im about to buy the rest. And after more digging and some bottleneck issues people talk aboit i want help deciding if this build will do with that gpu. For mb z370 hd3p. Or any z370. Processor i3 8100. Ram 2400 mhz total of 16gb didnt decide which brand. And ssd m.2 nvme samsumg 960 250 gb. I alrdy have hhd for storage. Would these compenent go together or do i have to make changes?

DDR4 2666MHz would be considered an overclock with the i3-8100 according to Intel's spec sheet. But with the Z-series chipset mobo that shouldn't be an issue to run. Also, with Z-series you can set memory speeds to whatever you want, so getting factory tested and overclocked memory would be better.

500W is enough, but some 500W power supplies claim to have that much but really don't. What is the specific model of your power supply?

Sounds like you're doing good so far. I few suggestions, get at least 2666MHz RAM (buy a kit, don't mix and match).

I believe the i3-8100 will do well in most all games right now with the GTX 1060 6GB. There are some games that will do better with the i5-8400, but it's not necessary.

storage sounds good.

what about power supply? That part can be pretty important. EVGA, Corsair, and SeaSonic all have some really good power supplies, just stay away from the cheapest units from each.
