Hi, I am about to build my own pc (get it built actually). It will be a mid-range gaming/coding/utility pc. Games would most probably be Dota 2 and CS:GO and occasionally (rarely) some AAA titles.
The components are as follows:

Processor - I7 7th Gen 7700
Motherboard - Gigabyte h110m-h
GPU - Zotac 1050ti 4gb ddr5 double fan
Internal HDD - 1TB SATA Toshiba
RAM - 8 GB Crucial X 2
DVD-Writer - dvd rw lg
Cabinet - Corsair Spec-01
PSU - 450W smps Cooler Master
Monitor - BENQ LED 22" (GW 2255)
Cooling Fan - Cooler Master Hyper 103
OS - Windows 10 Home

Question is, is this build future proof not just in gaming but overall sense?
Any recommendations/upgrades/replacements are welcome as long as they don't hurt the budget very much.

Thanks in advance.

if you go with the h110 motherboard you selected in your OP and the i7 7700 there is a good chance they won't work in the present never mind the future . if you receive a motherboard with an old bios then it wouldn't be compatible with the i7 7700. just a heads up . b250 h270 or z270 is the only way to be sure that the cpu and board will be compatible out of the box without chasing up serial numbers and tracking down the bios version before you buy it!

edit: also you wouldn't require an aftermarket cooler with that i7 7700 as the stock cooler is perfectly fine .
I guess you got around 1100$?

If you need to save a few bucks go for the Ryzen 1500 instead of the 1600
 


Thanks for the reply.

Great build, but since I am from India, I'll have to import the majority of the components (due to unavailability in my country). But I'll still see what I can do.

Also, could you explain how are the AMD counterparts better from Intel and GTX components apart from the OC advantages?
 
in gaming. 1600 is within 10% of 7600k when overclocked. in other multitasking works, ryzen is the clear winner. AAA titles r becoming cpu intensive, expect ryzen to perform better DX12 with more cores threads.

that monitor is not a free sync one. this is an ips free sync, albeit a little smaller https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01IBM5V66/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2UWZ9HEIVCXG9

try importing small components like cpu, mobo, ram gpu from newegg, its cheaper there. try ur mix of amazon, amazon global store, newegg and mdcomputers.in for best price match.
