Look for a case with better airflow.

Haven't decided on psu?

Try to get a 4 ram slot mobo like the asrock steel legend B450.

That 1050ti is 185 bucks. Look for an RX580 4gb instead.

I would recommend getting a WD Black instead of the Blue if you will be booting Windows 10 from it and if a SSD is not in the budget. Windows 10 is optimized for Solid State Drives and low performance HDDs just can't write fast enough and don't have enough cache. I had a client bring their computer in this week with that exact same drive and holy cow was it slow, not to mention it was pegged at a constant 100% drive usage. I ended up having to boot to Ubuntu from a flash drive to get their data off before I could wipe it and reinstall Windows. It took 4 hours to copy 20GB of data to a USB 3.0 flash drive. It is working better now after I reinstalled Windows, but the hard drive usage in task manager is still at a constant 50-60% on just bare bones Windows. It took about 2.5 hours to copy that same 20GB back down to the drive after I got it all set back up.
