    First of all: if you take a board with a B250 chipset then one that will have 4 RAM slots. Eg.

    Secondly, you don't need expensive RAM, because the board will not support 3000 MHz anyway. The memory would work with the maximum frequency for the disc, i.e. 2400 MHz. Here you have cheaper memories:

    Thirdly, the P300 Performance drive is technically no different from the P300. You can also save a bit:

    As I mentioned, the card is better with two fans. Examples of cards you have in the previous post.

    Promotional code, if you don't have one, you can enter (if you buy apricots in the store)
    W3FHN58JFW

    If you can not add to the card, because you are exceeding the budget, you can still save a bit on the power supply by taking e.g. Antec VP 500 or Corsair VS450.

    I have no more comments :)

    No.

    I see no obstacles. I will say that if you decide on Windows 7 updates will not work - Kaby Lake processors do not have official support for systems older than Windows 10.

    Write if the noise level is important to you. If so, I advise against this card - it is simply noisy.
    This type of cooling (first picture) is not suitable for more powerful 1060 cards. The fan must run at a high speed to maintain reasonable temperatures.
    Look for the card with cooling as in the second picture.
