I have around 1000$ for my budget including a cheap 1080p monitor for gaming..The build being:
Gigabyte G1 Gtx 1060
DDR4 2400 Mhz Crucial Ram 2x8 GB
Intel i5-8400
Dark Sentinel Mid Tower
Aerocool KCAS 600W 80+ Bronze
MSI B360M PRO VD
Acer K222Hqlbd

According to pc part picker there doesn't seem to be any problems with the build but i want to be sure since to monitor i'm getting has a dvi and a vga port so no hdmi for it.I am going to use my old 1TB hdd for storage nothing else i can recycle from my current old pc.Thanks in advance.

There are currently no problems with your build, but I would recommend getting a lower wattage power supply unless you plan on upgrading. It may be an 80+ Bronze certified PSU, but you wouldn't need 600W for a single GTX 1060 and a locked CPU. You could save your money and get a cheaper 80+ Gold certified PSU at maybe around 450W-550W. With the money you save, you could probably get 2666MHz RAM instead.

Thanks for the suggestion,the thing is i don't live in a country that uses usd for currency so prices are how to say a bit stupid atm.There only 15-20 usd difference beetween the 600w psu i choose and FSP 500w psu so it's not enough to get faster ram(the 2x8 gb 2400 mhz ram i'm going to buy costs around 170 usd and 2x8 3000 mhz costs at least 90-100 usd more)

Thanks for your answer,the site that i am going to buy the card from says that the mobo doesn't have a dvi port but MSI's site states that it has one that's what i'm confused about tbh.Also just like the port thing the site states that it only has 2.0 PCie ports but msi's site says that it has 1x3.0x16.So which one should i trust ?

Well if they give you the exact model number and searching that gives you those results then I'd go by what MSI is saying. If for some reason it doesn't have a DVI port then you can use a active adapter.
