It looks like a decent little build, but of cause if you could save and upgrade the CPU to an i5 clocking CPU, you'd 100% be more thankful for waiting to get that processor. 8 GB of memory is good for basic games but 16 GB you'll see better performance. The power supply might be the only down fall, but if this is you budget and you are not going to get a few extra hundred dollars in the near future I'd say go for it.

Well anything with more power is going to be much more stable I guess. offering more performance and getting more life out of you power supply. I have been a victim of buying lower graded power supply's before so I guess I learnt to wait to get something a little more upgraded just in case you do more modification upgrades in the near future, as the last thing you want to think about is adding extra money when you intend on doing the upgrades later on.

Bit over budget but is completely worth it.
Provided better quality PSU(very important), Motherboard(very important) and Case(better to have and work in).
Included GTX1060 3GB which is performs 15-20% better in games than GTX1050Ti.
