^ the issue with the kaby lake CPU's is that its 99% likely youll need a skylake chip & a BIOS flash to run one.

A S I A N - you picked the wrong answer here in all respects. All the paladin did is swap the ram for 2133 which is $10 more expensive.
The 2400 ram you picked would have worked fine but just run at 2133mhz.

By all accounts stick with your original build if you like (you're nuts because a 470 is 25-30% stronger) but for gods sake at least swap that thermaltake psu out for the cx450m I listed
The 550w label means nothing ,its closer to a 400w psu & is dire quality.
The cx450m meanwhile is closer output wise to a 500w unit, is great quality, modular & has a 5 year warranty !!

for motherboard go with h110/b150 to save a little cash, for ram take 2133mhz max because u can't use more and something normal not with pulsing led lights and the extra cash that you will save up take gtx 1060, even 3gb version is better than 1050ti. Other components are good.
 
I inputted your parts into the pcpartpicker web pages, and noticed your board doesn't support 2400 memory so I changed that up to 2133, yes pick done for Australian vendors only, Aussi Dollars mate
