I'm looking to play games like Fortnite, Overwatch, CSGO on low-medium at 120-200fps.
Single player games like Fallout 4, Skyrim on medium-high at 60-120fps.

I'm buying the 1050 that came with a prebuilt PC, it's only been used for about a month. My budget is $850 and I'm trying to get the most value I can, which is why I'm building it around a recently used 1050. I may want to upgrade to a 1060 or something in the future. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Is that "8GB Kit" two DIMMs or one? If it is just one, that will hurt your performance significantly.

Not a bad budget build at all. I'd look at a Cryorig H7, which passed the Hyper 212 in the budget air cooler category a few years ago. I'd also keep a PSU replacement in the back of my mind; at five years, the meh-grade capacitors in an old Corsair CX are likely on their last legs and you're out of warranty.

^ psu replacement recommended.
