It's good but I would suggest maybe saving up more and getting the 6GB edition of the 1060 for future proofing. Also I would get 2 x 4GB sticks as this distributes the instruction load between 2 sticks rather than one.

My in game name is xiBerreta ;)

So, most of it is at least half decent.
A lot of it is the same as what one of my friends has tbh and he gets pretty nice FPS and 0 lag.

CPU is decent - if you're using it for gaming you won't need any better (only reason you would want better is for video recording / editing which can chew a lot of CPU)

Graphics card is decent - Unless you want it for VR, the 3GB 1060 would be good but I would recommend getting the 6GB if you can. If not the 3GB is the same as my friend has. (When I get a new GPU I'll personally be getting the 1060 6GB or the 1080 8GB - my VR pc has a 1060 6GB)

Motherboard is good

RAM is decent - You'll probably be able to get by on 8GB. I used to have 12GB before I upgraded my CPU and Motherboard but it was DDR3 and my new motherboard is actually good so has DDR4 so I've got 8GB for now until the end of January / February when I can get another 8GB stick - I do have some issues with RAM at the moment - I can't tax my pc as much in terms of running a lot of things at once.

Case is good.

Power supply is good.

Now for the problem. The Hard Drive. What you want to do is something that a lot of people who don't know the difference between an SSD and HDD don't know of. Something you should do when getting a PC is to have a SSD (Solid State Drive) as your main boot disk with your OS installed on it and all the drivers (Your C:/ drive) - you can get it in any size but you shouldn't need more than 128GB and that is relatively cheap. If you can afford 256GB along with the next part, however, definitely get 256GB to avoid any storage issues. I would recommend you get an SSD made by Samsung as they are the cheapest and still fast. Then you want to have a second drive which is an HDD (Hard Disk Drive - The one you have selected already) to use to actually store and install things on.
The reason you want this is because an SSD is much faster than an HDD so if you have it as your boot disk, files can be read from and written to much quicker enhancing the speed of your machine.
The reason that an HDD (commonly known among computer geeks as "spinning rust" is so much slower than an SSD is because an HDD has moving parts in it as it is much older and that was the technology back then. Despite being more expensive, an SSD (hence the name "Solid State Drive") is all solid state. There are no moving parts inside it and it uses much newer and faster technology.

One other thing: you may want a case fan. The GTX 1060 is pretty powerful so it can get quite hot. You'll probably need one to stop the parts from going bust.

My PC specs:
CPU: i7 6700
GPU: AMD Radeon 5770 (upgrading as soon as I can afford it)
Motherboard: MSI B150M MORTAR
RAM: 8GB DDR4-2133 (Getting another 8GB next month)
Hard Drives: 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 3TB HDD

Edit: In terms of the above post by DonutsTime, the difference you will notice from distributing RAM to two sticks of 4GB rather than one of 8GB is very low. In order to "future proof" your machine, get one (or two would be better) 8GB sticks and then get more as time goes on. This means you will have less limitations (also, it's cheaper)

Actually, I don't play SSRP and if I got it I would just do a giveaway for it.
I just kind of... enter my immense computer geek mode in scenarios like this. I pretty much autopiloted when I typed it all up xD

Specs are pretty good, however, you might wanna consider a better cpu for single core performance because gmod only uses one core.

Pretty sure you can enable multi-core rendering.
