Are you planning on overclocking by any chance?
The 1060 card with 3.2GHz cpu doesn't make much sense to me

He can't overclock the CPU. The 6500 is a locked CPU, and if he wanted to overclock it, he'd need a Z170 motherboard that he can flash an older BIOS to that supports BCLK overclocking on locked CPUs. The i5-6500 at stock speeds is perfectly fine though.

OP- Bad cooler. Over-priced motherboard. SSD is alright, but I'd have got something else. I definitely would not have got that case. Do not buy that PSU. As long as you're not paying more than $70 for 16GB RAM, that's fine. Any more than $70 for 16GB RAM is too much.
