Hi i am just starting out, and am looking to custom build a computer for myself and i was wondering if all of these parts would work together well. It will be used for browsing the internet, watching netflix on and a bit of gaming. So i would like it to have reasonable graphics, and to be fairly fast. My price range is $1000 - $1500, however i would like to build it for as low as possible.

These are the parts that i have currently selected are:
- Intel core i7 7700 cpu
- MSI Z270 motherboard
- MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GAMING X 4GB graphics card
- Ballistix Sport LT 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 ram
- SAMSUNG 750 EVO 2.5" 500GB ssd
- EVGA SuperNOVA 650W G1 80+ Gold Modular Power Supply
- windows 10
- Asus Dual Band Wireless-N600 USB Adapter (is this necessary?)
- and housed in a corsair SPEC-Alpha Mid-Tower Gaming Case (will it fit this?)

Will it work with all of these parts?
And is this a good build for the job at hand?
Is there something better i could use?

I have a old acer AL1916W monitor, that i will use at first. I will later upgrade though to a better monitor, although i have not yet decided what.

Any suggestions as to what monitor to use?
Will the current one work with it?
 
Fast as hell with fastest chip and NVME drive. The motherboard is one of the best with lots of connectivity options and built in wifi and bluetooth.

Either get that Hellfire build or get this one above.

Difference in Hellfire and my build is that the Hellfire's build comes with very high end SSD. Which is faster than one I listed. But when it comes to overall performance especially gaming my build is way stronger as I threw in GTX1080 instead of GTX1060. Both the CPUs listed above are good and equally powerful. But Hellfire provided i7-7700K which can be further overclocked.

Here is the difference if put in numbers.

Non gaming performance: Hellfire's build = King Dranzer's build + 15%

Gaming performance: King Dranzer's build = Hellfire's build + 30%

Depending on your requirement choose any one you want.
 
Solution
As for the monitor, it depends on what kind of resolution you wanna drive. For general usage both can drive upto 4k. But for 4k gaming you have to go with Dranzers build.
Alternatively, if you have a specific budget for that, we can suggest you the better options.
