Seems decent for a budget rig.

If you will be doing quite a bit of gaming I would go for 1060gtx or Rx480.
Additionally I would suggest a small SSD for OS (128 or 256 GB - can be had for 50$) in addition to your WD Hdisk.

It can pass. But if your budget permits it, rather get GTX 1060 (6GB version), since your CPU is strong enough. With 1050Ti, you will have somewhat lacking performance on GPU part, at least if you play on 1080p ultra/high details.

8GB of memory is fine for now, but game requirements have (very) slowly started to move towards 16GB, so get that as well since RAM is cheap.

The biggest general (non-gaming) performance bottleneck will be the HDD drive you picked - get a 240GB SSD for a system drive and a WD Blue 1TB for storage if possible.

As an alternative, I'd probably drop down to an I3-6300 processor, up RAM to 16GB, the Hard Drive to a 7.2K RPM drive, and swap to an RX-470 4GB graphics card:
