If you want brand new ram, just 10 bucks more for the 3000 mhz version. Might as well get that as Ryzen run best on 2933mhz ram for the R5 1600.

Get a cheaper ssd, 220 for budget ones like Kingston, pny, Ocz.

Extra budget pump into psu for a Superflower leadex silver 550w or 650w whichever available.

Would recommend rx480 4gb over 1060 6gb. The price for 6gb doesn't justify it's performace upgrade over 1060 3gb.
