First Time Build and would really love feedback and suggestions!

I am building my first gaming PC Build and I do not know that much besides the research I have been doing over the past week.

Here is my build:

Please let me know if you can improve it for either a little more of the price or a little less. Thank you in advance!

Couple things, id look at ryzen, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Nx9Nbj, but for that build id look at faster memory, and unless your set on that motherboard you could save there, and try for at least a 1060 6gb for gaming, the ssd could be switched for a better priced one.

Why Ryzen if you don't mind explaining? Also, is a faster ram make that much of a difference I really don't know and what motherboard would you suggest and what is the problem with the current motherboard? Sorry for asking so many questions I'm new to building a PC and I am trying to understand it all. Thanks so much for you input!

At this point in time I like to recommend ryzen unless you are looking for the best fps, that belongs to the 7700k. Amd offers more cores per dollar at good performance. (eying the 1600 myself) as for ram and mobo, there is nothing wrong with your current picks, on intel the ram soeed will be thw difference of 1-2 fps at most, but ryzen loves fast memory. The motherboard you picked is good, it is just eating into your gpu budget at that price, there should be a comparable model for $20-30 less. I can edit this with more after work tomorrow .

I would love that if you remember tomorrow! Also, for the graphics card should I get the GTX 1060 3gb or 6gb?

Ryzen would be a cheaper option but does look some fps in games compared to intel. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/T7F8tJ

I wouldn't go for a mini gtx 1060 and you build is good. Do you need an os?

This one is a good price at the moment https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wz648d/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-d5-6g-video-card-gv-n1060d5-6gd, but pretty much any card with a cooler that isn't a flower type (large block of metal extruded to shape and cut to size) glad to see others picked up my slack, got a bit busy lol.
