    gtx 1050 for gaminig

    Grabbing a 3GB 1050 for $130 is a waste, imho. Save a couple more bucks and get the Ti version, you'll be grateful that you did even if it takes a little longer, trust me. If you already have the card, just keep playing games on it and as soon as you think it's unplayable - upgrade.

    5760x1080p 144hz with 1080ti

    Depends on the game, but in general - no. Using a single 144Hz will get you those 144fps on ultra. But not all together, unless you want to play Tetris.

    First PC build

    A 450W PSU will be plenty. be quiet! has good 450W power supplies.

    New PC/PC Upgrade

    That motherboard is outdated. And yes, you can keep the SSD and spend the $90 on a better 300-series mobo or a better CPU.

    New PC/PC Upgrade

    I would go with something like this: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel - Core i5-8400 2.8GHz 6-Core Processor ($178.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Gigabyte - B360M DS3H Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($65.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x...

    Finalising My PC Parts

    Kingston A400 is low end for an SSD. I'd suggest Samsung SSD's, or a bit cheaper but still good - Crucial MX500. Agree about the PSU, I'd go for a 550W. The same PSU but in 550W flavour would be very minimal higher in price over the 450W one.

    From what online shop can I purchase pc parts which later wont be taxed at customs (because I live in Europe)

    As far as I know, Macedonia is not in EU. If you live in EU and order goods from within EU, you don't have to pay customs tax for it. So the only option for you is probably buying from Macedonian-based retailers.

    Need any adjustments before ordering soon

    The only part I'd recommend to change would be PSU, other than that it's a decent build. Best quality PSU's would be Corsair RMx, TXm, HX, AX series. EVGA SuperNova G2 and G3, SeaSonic Focus Plus Gold, Prime Ultra, Prime Platinum series. be quiet! Straight Power 10 and Straight Power 11. Super...

    What case should I choose ?

    If you said you don't look at your PC, why do you need RGB LED?

    What case should I choose ?

    Both cases have dust filters, it's hard to tell. Neither should be a problem.

    What case should I choose ?

    Both are very good cases that won't let you down. At this point you might as well pick whichever looks best for you. Cougar has 2x USB ports more on the top of the case, though.

    How long will it support me!

    I don't recommend a 120GB SSD. It's too small for any normal use. You'll regret it later. Upgrading RAM can be tricky as it's not guaranteed to run in dual channel. That's why it's recommended to get a kit of 2 sticks. VS450 is a crap PSU, I wouldn't touch it if I were you. A much better option...

    Is everything here compatible in this list ?

    All parts are compatible although the GPU is weakest link. 550 is way too low for a 1700, so much lost potential. If you don't plan to game and use the CPU for anything else, it's fine. But if you want to game with great fps at 1080p, I'd suggest downgrading the CPU a bit and get an RX 560 or...
