Your motherboard supports:
- Up to 4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 2666/2400/2133 MHz Memory
- Dual Channel Memory Architecture
- Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)

I would go for a kit of 2x8GB = for a total of 16 GB of 2666 MHz frequency either from Corsair, G.skill, but if the price difference is above $30 I would settle for a 2400 or 2133 MHz kit.

Your PSU has decent reviews despite being a budget one, but would upgrade it when possible to a more respectable model line even within the same brand, or to a more confortable Seasonic X or Focus 650 watt series.
Not to mention getting a decent above 250 GB SSD as boot drive.

Good luck with our build.

Yeah, other than PSU, your choice of parts is great with no incompatibilities, knowing your budget for this build and it's projected usage might help evaluate better your choices. Anyway i7-8700 + GTX 1060 is a robust setup and would be more than enough for high resolution 1080p of the most demanding games, and for multitasking and multi-threaded apps.

My budget is around 850$.
But the problem is in the overpriced parts in my country, so I sadly can’t afford a new PSU. So I was thinking about buying ram kit like hyperx fury black ddr4 2133 MHz 2x8. I need this build for playing heavy games like bf1 and upcoming bf V, also for streaming 60 FPS

HyperX fury is supported by your motherboard as well.
You can always buy a good used PSU from a reputable ebay seller, it's a risk buying used hardware but sometimes it would allow getting quality hardware for less.

Thank you for the kind words:). I got stupid question: are the psu wires long enough for its staying on the case floor? Since I want to do a good cable management. I’m worried about it. And my mobos size is 300mm*244mm, I hope it fits my case with the psu on the floor .

Oh and a local store doesn’t have that mobo anymore, but they have asus TUF b360m plus gaming. Shall I take it? It’s small, or I can go with asus TUF B360-pro gaming, that’s a standart atx.( I ordered this one)
