So my father got me a Fujitsu C910 with a i7-3770; 8GB Samsung 1600MHz DDR3 RAM; Seagate 7.2k rpm 250GB HDD; propietary MOBO and PSU; Some small Cooler Master CPU Cooler (don't know which one) and 1 exhaust fan for 300€.

I wanted to upgrade the system so I bought a:
-KFA2 GTX 1050 for 137€
-HEXA+ 500W 80+ certified 39€
-MSI ZH77a for 50€
-Empire Gaming green LED case (with 3 Fans incl.) for 50€
-Some wirless card for PCI with 3 antennas for 9€ with 300 Mbps

total price of upgrades ~300€

I might buy a Kingston 120GB SSD for 30€ if you guys recommend it.

Now since this was my first Build and I didn't want to get too many used parts for longlivity reasons I want to ask if I optimized it well and bought the right parts. But by the time my knowledge grew and I really don't know if I should of bought a ryzen CPU with DDR4 RAM.

The 3rd gen i7 is an older proc, so you'll take a hit on longevity there. The 1050 is fine for gaming at moderate resolutions and detail levels - nothing maxed though.

I think the big question mark is that PSU - the HEXA+ isn't known to be a quality model and may fail you. Skimping on a PSU is a common occurrence but it can really cause issues.
