This is much better.
-Better CPU, matches an i3 in performance.
-Better GPU, much better performance than normal 1050.
-DDR4 RAM, yours isn't compatible with your CPU and motherboard.
-That is a Mini-ITX case, won't fit the motherboard, replaced it.
-Much better PSU.

NOTE: Editing will not be very good, unless you have a quad core.

I agree completely with what you've changed.

Even without the extra cache of an i3, having HyperThreading makes the G4560 a great budget option.

Just so OP knows, there is a modular version of the S12ii Bronze series called the M12ii Bronze EVO Edition series which carries only a slight increase in price. I find it nice to be able to not install the cables I don't use instead of jamming the extras into empty drive bays or something.

Here are my observations and suggestions:

1-CPU:
For a budget build with gaming and multitasking in mind, I would suggest getting a CPU with hyperthreading, at the very least. The 6th-gen (Skylake) Pentium G4400 you selected has 2 Cores, but due to the lack of hyperthreading, performs only with 2 Threads. I would suggest getting either the same-generation (Skylake) i3-6300 or i3-6320 which also has 2 Cores but performs on 4 Threads *or* the current-generation (Kaby Lake) i3-7100, i3-7300, or i3-7320. If you really want a Pentium, I would highly suggest getting the current-generation Pentium G4560, G4600, or G4620 because as compared with the Skylake Pentium CPUs with 2 Core/2 Threads, the Kaby Lake Pentium CPUs have 2 Cores and 4 Threads.

2-GPU:
The GTX 1050 is a "good enough" card for a budget/entry-level gaming build. Don't expect to run AAA games at Ultra settings in higher resolutions though.

3-Motherboard:
Your initially-selected H110M motherboard is compatible with 6th-gen. Skylake CPUs (such as the Pentium G4400 or i3-6300). However, if you decide on getting a Kaby Lake CPUs (examples as I mentioned above), you should select a motherboard that supports it to avoid any required BIOS updates/setups and incompatibilities. Motherboards such as B250/B250M and H270/H270M supports Kaby Lake *AND* Skylake CPUs, while motherboards such as B150/B150M and H110/H110M supports Skylake CPUs only (out-of-the-box).

Another thing to consider is the size of your motherboard against the size of your case (which I'll mention below). Your initially-selected H110M motherboard is a micro-ATX (mATX). Standard motherboard sizes are EATX, ATX, mATX, and ITX/mini-ITX (from largest to smallest). The case you selected only supports ITX/mini-ITX, so, that Gigabyte H110 Micro ATX Motherboard will NOT fit.

4-RAM:
You selected a DDR3 RAM which is NOT compatible with the motherboard you selected, which only supports the faster and lower-voltage DDR4. I highly suggest you stick with the DDR4 memory modules. Using the DDR3 (at 1.5V) on a DDR4 motherboard will most likely damage your CPU.

5-CASE:
As mentioned above, the case you selected is a Mini-ITX. Only mini-ITX motherboards will fit in that (and they are relatively small than the average PC). I suggest you select a Mid-Tower ATX case (which can fit an ATX, mATX, and ITX motherboard).

6-HDD:
The WD Blue 1TB is one of the oftenly-selected storage device for its great price/performance ratio. If your budget permits, I would highly suggest you look into purchasing a SSD (Solid State Drive), ideally a 240GB-250GB for faster boot/loading times using OS and applications (and to some extent, gaming). I would pair the SSD (as the system drive containing your OS, applications, and some frequently-used games) with the WD Blue HDD (for general storage of files and other seldomly-used large-capacity games).

7-PSU:
If you are set with the GTX 1050 or GTX 1050Ti, your whole system would not even consume more than ~250W of power. The 500W power supply is a bit overkill for your system. More importantly, that specific EVGA model is of lower-quality than other models or brands available in the market. I would look into getting a Seasonic S12II-350 (350W).

Looks good to me, except I would be looking at getting a 7200rpm mechanical hard drive.

The 1050ti is a great choice for 1080p gaming (no good at 1440p or higher). I have one in my sons PC and it is a great option for 1080p. Runs most games at high settings.

Although the PSU you chose will work fine, there are more reliable options for similar prices (try Corsair or Seasonic). Also, 430watts is overkill for your system but does allow for potential upgrades in the future

Good luck with your build. Let us know how you get on!

I picked 7200rpm hard drive and what do you mean by 430w is overkill for my system. Im thinking about: SeaSonic 350W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Lol you right!! Thank you
But for now the lowest price is - EVGA 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply for 33$

Seasonic is always a good choice of power supply.

With a 1050 the power consumption will be less than 350 watts. However, having a larger power supply allows for future upgrades/expansion.

The build you just posted looks good to me. Good luck
