Building low cost gaming rig for my son

[BlendedSolids]

Put this build together and parts picker says all is compatible. Just wanted any advice in case i missed something like known problematic parts. Did a bit of research and all seems good but i wanted to check with you guys because in the past you have been very helpful. I wanted a system that could be upgraded down the road if need be. My son wants it strictly for gaming, thats it. He has a mac for all his school etc.Thanks in advance. I was going to post just links but wasnt sure if that was acceptable and seemed like it would be a pain to have to click each link. Anyway these are all from Newegg.

Everything looks good for a budget build to me. I would recommend a different PSU, tho. This Seasonic 520W is only ~$5 more and is stronger, better made, and leaves room for him to upgrade his components in the future: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094&cm_re=seasonic_power_supply-_-17-151-094-_-Product

Instead of paying 100 dollars for Windows 10, why not download it from Windows' website and then buy a key off Ebay for 5-10$? Save yourself a lot of money.

You may want to consider the different option:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Motherboard: MSI B250M MORTAR Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($89.99 @ B&H)
Memory: Avexir Core Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($52.98 @ Newegg)
Storage: SK hynix SL308 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($132.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Video Card: MSI Radeon RX 470 4GB Gaming X Video Card ($184.99 @ SuperBiiz)

Kabylake Pentium 3.5Ghz with HT, just 200Mhz less than the Skylake i3 but much less expensive.
Pairing with B250 MB allowing the use of faster 2400Mhz DDR4. Plus the MB support Type-C USB.
SK hynix SL308 SSD performance is on par with 850 Evo.
The Corsair CXM 550W will be the better option for its ability to provide stable power for the system. Its semi-modularity will help with cable management as well.
And the RX 470 would destroy the GTX 1050 Ti in gaming. $15 rebate (effective until Jan 31st) at Amazon not mentioned in PCPP, bringing its price down to $169.99
RAM/MB/Graphic card carries red LED; the red version of the case is available in the UK but not US, so the orange version was picked instead.

Thank you for the input. Funny thing is that theres a $5 rebate for that power supply so comes out the same price. lol
Thanks again for your time and input.
