looks good, but are you just going to game? if you are planning on streaming id recommend a better cpu.

Not bad. If you get good price
You had mini itx board , dual slot graphics, full size psu
Are you building a small pc?
Make sure your case fits them

That CPU, while still viable, is now 2 generations old, compare prices with the 8xxx series CPU's.

Yes I am building a small Build and everything does fit.

(I did not mean to downvote your answer)

So you already have most of the parts and looking for upgrade, i think?
1060 and i5 can play most games at high setting 1080p 60fps
I am expecting it good for 2 more years, (i have gtx970)
