Leave's you money left over to eat, get a solid keyboard, mouse, and even monitor if you wanted.

You could also throw in a 128GB Samsung Evo SSD to hold your OS and make your 1TB drive solely for games as I did. That will still keep you well under budget.

If you wanted to go super future proof and for me this is highly recommended swap the 1060 for the 1070 from EVGA. You must login or register to view this content. Still will keep you within your budget, even you added the SSD too.

Don't forget thermal paste, Arctic Silver 5 will do.

It would be, but honestly not really worth the extra money. A 6600K coupled with a 1070 will be just fine for the next 3-5 years for playing games at High/Ultra 1080p.

Tbh I would replace that 1060 with a 1070 as i believe that's still within your range ? and a bit more longevity the the system.
