Save some money and get some games. If not then opt for a 1700X and a GTX 1070 .

I agree with SR-71's suggestion that you should swap the graphics card for an RX 570 or RX 580, just because they are significantly more powerful than a 1050 Ti. At current prices, I would only consider a 1050 Ti if the card were being installed in a prebuilt system with an inadequate power supply.

An RX 570 can be around 50% faster than a 1050 Ti, and an RX 580 around 70% faster. Plus, it's possible to find them bundled with download codes for some big upcoming game releases.

And you really shouldn't pay twice as much for a WD Black drive. If you want to spend over $100 for more drive performance, go for a 1TB SATA SSD, which will significantly reduce load times over a spinning platter drive. Or a "regular" 1-2TB 7200RPM drive, along with a 250-500GB SATA SSD for the OS, applications and most-played games. Something like a Crucial MX500 would be a good option.

And that Phanteks case looks classy. : D
