    Depends what games you are going to play on it and will it be purely for gaming?

    Right, what are the some of the first person shooter titles? Also, what is your budget for the PC?

    $100 is not enough money to build a gaming pc for Minecraft and those first person shooter titles. You will have to spend a lot more, and right now it is not the best time to build a pc due to graphics card and RAM prices skyrocketing. I mean if you want to spend a lot of money for a pc right now, you can by all means but it will be expensive.

    At the moment of writing this, the build that I just pasted above is $913.32 which is good since it didn't even go above your budget. The prices of the parts will change automatically if they do change and the total price will be affected if the part prices do change. I assume you will be gaming at 1080p as that is the common resolution for gaming currently. I also didn't include an operating system because you can get cheaper keys from other legitimate places, such as kinguin.net. This website sells game keys and other software such as operating systems. A Windows 10 Professional key is £25 there, you will have to check yourself for your own currency but I am sure it will be less than $35 or around that which is much cheaper than buying an $80 Windows 10 key. This store is legitimate as I bought a Windows 10 key from there and I had no problems whatsoever. Furthermore, professional tech YouTubers have recommended this site for cheap Windows 10 keys. If you don't believe me, you can search on YouTube about this site and cheap Windows 10 keys.

    The link above is what I have got so far. I am not too sure if the extra storage is necessary
    (also can u make sure this is all compatible, I think it is but I am new to building pc's)

    The build is compatible, but you are lacking storage for your games. Games nowadays are increasing their sizes and go up to 60-80 GB in sizes. I recommend a 1TB HDD like I showed you in the build that I posted above. Also, I don't think 16GB of RAM is needed for gaming, 8GB should be fine for most games especially Minecraft and the first person shooter titles you mentioned. More RAM would only be needed if you were to stream or edit and render extensively. Furthermore, the RAM prices have skyrocketed this year so I would recommend getting 8GB instead due to lower pricing. The CPU cooler in my build is much cheaper too. Overall, I think you should just use my build that I stated above (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6qwqvV) because it is cheaper than your build that you created and there are components which are more suitable in my build for your purpose.

    The parts can fit in the case that you have chosen, yes. More RAM for your other purposes are fine. You are going to have to add a 1TB HDD to your build which is the only thing missing and as a result, your total build price will exceed $1000 if that is fine with you, due to the RAM being very expensive. So add a 1TB HDD (will increase over $1000) and your build is complete.

    Checkout the subreddit for building a pc, also it might be worth it to wait for black friday? I'd ask these questions on that subreddit

    If you're going for single thread performance like just gaming, why would you go for a ryzen core? Also, why 1600x? 1600 is easier to OC, and comes with a really nice, quiet, stock fan. Even unclocked, I'd say you're going to be limited by the 1060 more then the 1600x, so go for 1600, and save some money.

    Take that money, and buy DDR4 3200 ram. Doing a ryzen build with 2400 is kind of silly. Finally, take some of that money you saved from not wasting cash on a 1600x and a fan, and get a slightly better PSU. EVGA has a really good (fully modular) 650w gold rated, which is probably overkill, but if you OC your processor, and want to upgrade your GPU in 5 years, it would help a lot.

    Stick with the ryzen if you are using adobe like you said. If you want gaming performance, go intel cpu. (either way your still probably going to be limited by the gtx1060, but its still a really nice card)
