Hello community!

So the story is, is that I've been gaming for the past 3-4 years on a Acer Aspire E17 (specs known: i3-4005U @ 1.7Ghz, 3MB L3 cache, GeForce 840M 2GB, 4GB DDR3L, 500GB HDD) and to the time I got it I was happy I had it, games weren't so intese, mostly all I was playing was minecraft, C&C and such. but now I also play way more graphic and generally computer intense games such as Payday 2, Killing floor 2 and Rainbow six siege (which I can't run over 15fps). So I have been reserching for the past 6-7 months on everything computer related, for my first computer build, which I am building at the start of October 2018.
I will leave a link to my build, and I would very much apreciate some opinions and/or suggestions on what I could do better.

Right, I nearly forgot to mention, my current budget for this build will be about 2400$NZ (1650$US)
Thank you for taking your time to read this :D

For 60hz 1080p monitor , 8600k is really overkill and waste of money . You are fine with i5 8400 . I case if you gonna buy 1080p / 1440p 144hz , then 8600k is responsible. And regarding the gpu , gtx 1060 will handle the 60hz 1080p pretty well . Next gen gpus are around the corner. So you could buy the gtx 1060 now and if you upgrade the monitor later , then buy the next gen gpu .
