Is this PC good for gaming with 100+ fps with medium settings on most games(League of legends, CS:GO, Fortnite, Pubg), is everything all compatible and going to run smoothly, and lastly is there any cheaper alternative to some parts that would give the same performance?

P.S. I don't really know what overclocking is so I was just curious if I should change from having no overclocking
 
And never use any standard powersupply for expensive build... I suggest to use corsair ax 750i powersupply which gold rated. Because standard supplies are unsafe and can damage your components. So buy this here https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003PJ6QWE/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1526946965&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=corsair+ax750&dpPl=1&dpID=51d8j%2BoEYLL&ref=plSrch...

Hello! That's a pretty decent starter build! Out of those games you play, PUBG will definitely be the hardest for your computer to work with. Here is a link to some benchmark tests, running PUBG at different qualities on the GTX 1060:

So on Medium quality, PUBG will probably stay in the 80-100 FPS range like you want, but maybe a little worse, and Fortnite will probably be the same. The guy that was testing the game is running it on a higher quality CPU than you plan on getting. Besides that, LoL and CS:GO will run awesome!

Honestly, if you're going to be using the computer for mainly gaming, I would look at Intel CPUs rather than AMD's Ryzen line. In the long run, Intel is typically a little bit more expensive, but they are usually better suited for gaming. AMD's CPU chips are typically cheaper, but are better for tasks like video editing and tasks that require more "threads". The i5-8600k is the same price as the one you already have picked out, but will likely perform better (and it's overclockable!). Unfortunately, if you change to this CPU you'd also have to change your motherboard to one that's compatible with it. Anything motherboard that says "Z370" will work with the i5.

Overclocking a part of your PC is basically when you purposefully make it perform at better/faster speeds than it's supposed to by cranking more power into it. If done well, it can yield considerably better results (but will take more power to run and will likely run hotter than usual). However, if done wrong, it can potentially fry your entire computer...

You definitely don't need a 750W power supply like the guy above me said you would. Even the 600W you already plan on buying will be way more than enough to run your PC. The Gold rating he's talking about has nothing to do with the power supply's safety. All power supply boxes are safe. The "Gold" rating has to do with power efficiency (like how much of the incoming power will be effectively used). Ultimately, just go with whatever fits your budget.

Hope this isn't too much to take in at once. Good luck with the build! :)
