First, turn the 1050 Ti into a 1060. Then, turn the 600W into a 350W. You don't need that much for this build.

Some minor tweak in my opinion to what techno said, First go for a 400W power supply at least as most 1060's cards recommend it, its best to have a little more head room too (if you follow that advice that is., I'd stick with what you planned for in the power supply area. I've got a 600W with a I5 4460 & R9 380). Also keep the western digital storage drive to blue or green. Red isn't designed to work with computers, its meant for servers if I'm not mistaken. It would work and all but not at its best. Also you could get 7200RPM, it would cost you much more and would help if you plan to game on it. And of course my final opinion, get an SSD, its super helpful and will speed up your boot times dramatically as well as making basic tasks fly by.​

I was going to get an i7 but I found out i5 was enough for what I wanted. I also got 16GB ram since it's on sale for the time being.[DOUBLEPOST=1492682211][/DOUBLEPOST]

I think we should take note of our needs for the computers we are going to use.
Are we gonna play a heavy game? Doing office activities or what kind?
By knowing these needs, we can build a computer according to our needs. So we can avoid the bloated expenses.

yeah if you just gonna do gaming 8gb should be ok, and an i7 isn't worth it unless you'r doing video editing or 3d model work e.t
