Looks like a good mini ITX budget build. Mini ITX build can get hotter due to limited cooling options but you should be ok.

Should I get the elite 130 I'm actually one of those people who uses optical drives

its only $7 dollars more on Newegg and is a little larger of a case which will support larger gpus if you choose to upgrade in the future so I personally would.

I think you are really doing yourself a disservice with that build.

1.) I would look for a Z170 board as it alone can support much faster ram. Faster Ram makes a difference for SKYLAKE CPUs. See the video below.

2.) I would really strive for a GTX 1060 6GB card. It is significantly stronger than a 1050ti and is well worth the price differential.

This one from EVGA would be ideal for an ITX build.

Besure to get the SuperClocked version as it has a much beefier heatsink than the vanilla GTX1060. This will result in you having a MUCH quieter card as it will not run as hot.

I don't like the layout of the Elite 110. ITX cases that put the power supply over the motherboard are a pain to work on.

My opinion, the added cost of a Z170 chipset and high speed RAM kit is not worth the price. You could nearly have an i5 for the same money, which would be far better. It looks pretty good as-is to me.

I'm going for the elite 130
Im trying to see if I can save up for a i5 haswell but thing is I would really like itx build because I don't have plenty of space anymore

The 130 also places the power supply over the motherboard. My brother got rid of his 130 not long ago because it was hard to work on.
