Change your case, if you are on a budget I suggest watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdtBkN3vrpQ&

You can get a cheaper Motherboard if you'd like unless it has a feature you want

That is an AMD cooler and will not work with your CPU, get something like the Cryorig H7 or Cooler Master Hyper 212

If you can swing it I would seriously suggest getting 16GB Ram (2x8GB sticks) since more and more games are pushing that 8GB as a minimum

If you can swing it I would suggest a 1050ti over the 1050 as well.

I would get a different PSU, thats a fairly low quality in the EVGA line, on your budget a Corsair CX500M

I'd say its a little unbalanced. There is no way a 1050 or 1050Ti can utilise all the performance of a 8600k, even a 8400 is more than you need. A cheaper Ryzen setup is probably better suited at this level.

He is sorta right about the GPU however given current prices in the market you wont be finding a cheap 1070 or up. You may have tropuble getting a 1060 for a reasonable price so If you want to get a good solid processor then the 8600k is a good choice.

I would recommend getting at least a 500 watt PSU.
