Just get everything from Tradepac but beware of the prices. Get familiarize with the pricing around SLS before heading there.

Otherwise, pay a bit more at PC Themes. Much better store, more honest, recommendations are not bad.

WLAN card - TP LINK Archer T6e but the drivers don't auto install. So you might need an external DVD to install the manufacturer one before updating it. Or download it to a thumb drive first so you can install once OS is installed

Chassis - Tecware F3 Elite. Cheap and good looking. Just cable management a bit hard. That's all.

Sent from PM me if you wanna build a DIY PC or wanna learn how to make one yourself :D using GAGT

Might want to get better PSU such as EVGA G3/Superflower Leadex Gold Series.
550W is enough for a 1060 or even 1070.

Casing Tecware F3 is best for budget. If want better ones can look at Fractal Design Define C/Mini C or Phanteks P400TG. (Around $130 iirc)

Also can note that if you getting Ryzen, RAM speed does help performance, so if you have extra budget leftover can invest in higher speed RAM.
