Alright, so here is my first ever build. Pretty much what iv decided on. Open to thoughts, opinions, advice etc.
Please note the CPU & Motherboard, as well as case and RAM, are pretty much set in stone. The rest is subject to change and i had a few specific questions
#1. Should I get an ASUS Geforce GTX STRIX 1050 ti or an ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1050 ti? Whats the verdict?
#2. Is my CPU cooler alright? Do you recommend something better? I'm looking for something RGB But cheap and efficient. hoping to use the saved money here on other components
#3. Is my PSU alright? Recommend me a better one if you think it fits, but keep in mind I am planning to upgrade my GPU at some point (to probably a 1070 ti or 1080 ti) as well as buy more ram and possibly a 1tb SATA 3 SSD to replace the 1tb HDD

P.S : Ignore Prices, i will not be buying from PC PartPicker and i will be getting much better deals elsewhere so prices of like the GPU and PSU listed above are irrelevant. CPU/MOBO/Case already bought, and much cheap than listen price. Just letting you know incase listed prices affect build judgement as i saw some were way higher
Also keep in mind the white/blue/black theme im kinda going for. mainly just white/clearish and blue. so you know lol
